Description

Road and Site Design Made Easy

Carlson Civil provides the most robust automation and ease-of-use of any civil design solution available today, and it does dynamic updating without a single custom object. Carlson Civil’s wide selection of “power” tools enable users to increase their productivity as they create better road, site, and subdivision designs in less time.

Carlson Civil is comparable to civil design programs such as: DCA/Softdesk/Land Desktop, AutoCAD Map, Civil 3d, Eagle Point, TerraModel, GeoPak and InRoads. Some features of Carlson Civil also match up well to construction estimating software such as Paydirt, Quest and Agtek.

Carlson Civil can be purchased as a standalone module or as part of the Civil Suite which also includes Survey, Hydrology and GIS. It can run standalone with the included license of IntelliCAD or on top of a separately purchased license of full AutoCAD.

All Carlson Software purchases will be delivered by email with your new serial number and download instructions within two business days.

Carlson Civil users have an extensive selection of analysis and design tools at their fingertips, including these favorites:

  • Road NETwork – Use it for the design of streets, highways, roadway intersections, Cul-de-Sacs, traffic circles and more!
  • Lot NETwork – Design and layout of tracts of land including residential subdivisions, office parks and commercial property development projects!
  • Site NETwork – Automate the tasks of subgrade design, takeoffs, cost-estimating and surface model generation and migrate this data to GPS-assisted machine control products including Carlson Grade!
  • Design Pad Template – For complex grading scenarios involving foundation pads, drainage basins, parking lots and more!
  • Project Setups – Flexible data and settings storage
  • Data Compatibility – Supports industry stand LandXML, plus specific data conversion

CAD Standards:

  • Draw Standard Items: Create common CAD entities with pre-defined properties
  • Settings Explorer: Manage all program settings from single interface
  • Settings Libraries: setup tables for symbols, layers, road templates, etc.
  • Data Depot: Document management for workgroups and archiving

System Requirements

FOR CARLSON’S CAD-BASED PRODUCTS

Carlson products installed on top of the CAD products of IntelliCAD or AutoCAD, are subject to the same requirements as the CAD engine itself. Please follow the requirements for the CAD platform listed below and allow an additional 750 MB of hard-drive space for the Carlson application.

INTELLICAD

CARLSON 2020-2025 WITH INTELLICAD 9.X, 10.X, 11.X OR 12.X

  • Compatible with 64 bit Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 (Vista and 32 bit are not supported)

CARLSON 2016-2019 WITH INTELLICAD 8.X

  • Compatible with 32 or 64 bit Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10

 

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

Intel® Pentium® 4 or comparable (minimum), Intel i7 or at least Intel i5 or comparable (recommended). Due to the variety of processors on the market, one can use cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php to do comparative analysis. While the overall processor score matters, the single thread performance is of the most interest.

  • 32-bit Windows 7-8.1: 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM minimum, 4 GB recommended.
  • 64-bit Windows 7-10: 2 GB of RAM minimum, 8+ GB recommended.
  • Windows Vista: 1 GB of RAM minimum, 4 GB recommended.
  • Windows XP: 512 megabytes (MB) of RAM minimum, 2 GB recommended.

Graphics card compatible with OpenGL Version 1.4 or higher:

  • Recommended are desktop graphics level discrete (not integrated cards like Intel HD) graphics cards.
  • Preferably Nvidia Geforce due to their more consistent driver support.
  • Discrete ATI/AMD cards will be adequate, but ATI’s driver support has been spotty and user is frequently deferred to the computer manufacturer for support.
  • Professional Nvidia Quadro cards are not currently recommended due to driver issues.
  • Powerful gaming cards are not required and probably would not provide as much benefit as investment in more memory or better CPU
