Project Assist AI: Context-Aware Support Inside CAD

Civil Site Design – Project Assist AI

Project Assist AI brings a new level of intelligence directly into the Civil Site Design environment. By understanding both your project data and design context, it provides instant assistance without leaving your drawing.

Whether you’re looking for technical guidance, reviewing specifications, or generating reports, Project Assist AI helps streamline everyday workflows and reduce time spent searching for information.

Tex: Your Technical Assistant and Reporting Tool

Tex generating reports and analysing drawings

Tex acts as your real-time support and reporting assistant, capable of analysing project data, answering technical questions, and generating detailed reports directly from your design.

By combining access to the Civil Site Design skill library with live drawing inspection, Tex can provide context-aware answers and export HTML reports with minimal effort.

Key Benefits

• Generate project reports automatically
• Receive contextual technical support
• Review specifications instantly
• Export reports directly from CAD

Intelligent Sections AI: Create Complex Conditional Sections Faster

Creating conditional cross sections no longer requires manually building complex decision tables.

Simply describe your desired section in plain language, including features such as table drains, bench batters, and retaining walls, and Intelligent Sections AI automatically generates the underlying logic and decision tables.

This dramatically reduces setup time while maintaining design flexibility.

FastTrack: AI-Powered Project Setup

FastTrack Interface

FastTrack, formerly known as Project Assist, helps users move from concept to design faster than ever.

Describe your project at a high level and FastTrack will automatically identify road centrelines, detect curb returns and boundaries, and recommend suitable cross section templates.

FastTrack Automatically:

• Identifies road centrelines
• Detects curb returns
• Recognises project boundaries
• Suggests cross section templates

Visual Model Editing with Interactive Trim Grips

Trim grips being dragged to update extents for a bridge

v27 introduces a more intuitive approach to model trimming.

Instead of manually entering chainages in Model Builder, visual trim grips can now be manipulated directly within the drawing. Simply drag the grips to adjust trim extents instantly.

The result is a faster, more interactive editing workflow with complete control over model limits.

Stage Storage: Advanced Basin Analysis and Visualisation

Storage calculations and 3D basin visualisation

The new Stage Storage tool automates basin and depression storage analysis, helping designers quickly evaluate detention basins and weirs.

By providing detailed insights into storage volumes and flood extents, engineers can optimise their designs for hydraulic performance and regulatory compliance.

Key Benefits

• Automated basin and depression storage analysis
• Optimise designs for hydraulic performance
• Ensure regulatory compliance

3D Visualisation: Enhanced Realism and Collaboration

Enhanced 3D visualisation

v27 takes 3D visualisation to the next level with enhanced realism and improved collaboration features.

With better rendering, material properties, and lighting, stakeholders can experience designs in a more immersive and understandable way. Share interactive 3D models with clients and team members, facilitating clearer communication and faster decision-making.

Key Benefits

• Enhanced realism in 3D models
• Improved material properties and lighting
• Share interactive 3D models
• Facilitate clearer communication

Pipe Network: Streamlined Design and Analysis

Pipe network design and analysis

The Pipe Network module in v27 offers a streamlined workflow for designing and analysing complex pipe systems.

From gravity pipes to pressure networks, engineers can quickly lay out pipes, define invert levels, and perform hydraulic calculations with ease. The improved interface and robust analysis tools ensure efficient and accurate pipe network designs.

Key Benefits

• Streamlined pipe network design
• Gravity and pressure network analysis
• Efficient hydraulic calculations

Stringer Topo: Advanced Surveying and Surface Modelling

Stringer Topo – Advanced Surveying and Surface Modelling

Stringer Topo in v27 provides advanced tools for surveying data processing and surface modelling, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in every project.

With enhanced point cloud capabilities, intelligent feature extraction, and robust surface creation tools, engineers can generate highly accurate digital terrain models and analyse complex topographical features with confidence.

Key Benefits

• Advanced surveying data processing
• Enhanced point cloud capabilities
• Intelligent feature extraction
• Robust surface creation tools
