The CADDle Call

In this episode, we're discussing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the benefits it brings to the civil design world. We'll also provide insight into 2 big players in this market - Civil Site Design and BricsCAD.

Every system and workflow on the planet can be improved and AutoCAD Civil 3D is no exception, even though it's the most popular tool for civil design. In this episode, we discuss common issues we hear about Civil 3D from those working in the civil design world and some of the tools available on the market today that can address those issues.

It's a never-ending concern in the industry - you want to be better, faster and more efficient at design, but don't want the headache of changing your current design system.

In this episode, we discuss how to improve your civil site design process, from field-to-finish, without changing to a new CAD system.

Special guests Shane O'Rorke and Andrew Banson from Civil Survey Solutions join us to discuss Civil Site Design & Stringer Topo. They'll explain the key new features of Stringer Topo, which has been completely redesigned, and the AI tools in Civil Site Design. They'll also discuss the direction of their products and the industry as a whole.

Cyndy Davenport, Civil Tech Lead at ZenTek, joins us to discuss the newest release of Stringer Topo - V23. We'll talk about how it's different from other systems on the market and dive into some of the new tools that are helpful for survey firms.

This week's podcast deals with the realities of site and road design processes. We'll discuss the best ways to start a design and the different tools you can use to begin and, eventually, complete a project.

While AutoCAD Civil 3D is still the king in the civil design world, it's always good for us to look for ways to improve functionality to make our designs better, more efficient, and to reduce costs. In this episode, we focus on the tools that work with AutoCAD Civil 3D to enhance its capabilities - or shore up areas we find frustrating.

In this episode, we discuss the process of designing roads and corridors in AutoCAD Civil 3D. In particular, we're focusing on Corridor EZ - a plugin for Civil 3D from Civil Survey Solutions. Corridor EZ automates the entire corridor and road design process, including cul-de-sacs and intersections, right inside AutoCAD Civil 3D. You can take your design time from hours to just minutes.

Construction scheduling is one of the most important functions in the construction industry, but many firms still struggle with it. In this episode, we discuss scheduling tools to help you advance your construction scheduling process.

In this episode, we discuss how construction firms and building product manufacturers can use Microsoft Excel as part of their estimating workflows.
