What’s new in Autodesk Vault 2025
Vault 2025 is the latest version which is packed with a variety of new features and improvements aimed at enhancing security, streamlining processes, and improving user experience.
In January 2020, Excitech was acquired by Addnode Group, the owner of Symetri, Europe’s leading provider of software and services for design and engineering activities.
Excitech has now become Symetri, operating as one company since the beginning of January 2021. Please rest assured it is business as usual for us and your service experience will not be impacted.
When you are modelling grading objects in Civil 3D, you may require using different slopes along the same feature line. While this is simple enough (just select ‘No’ when you get the ‘Apply to entire length?’ prompt in the command line), modelling the transition between those grading objects can require more care.
If the transition occurs along a straight line, you can use the ‘Create Transition’ tool, as shown below:
However, this tool in Civil 3D will not help if you want the transition to take place on a corner. In that particular case, the process is more manual. You will need to complete the top or toe of the slope with a feature line and then model the transition as an infill. The workflow is detailed below:
Depending on the constraints that you have, you may want to model the transition with a different geometry like an arc or a straight line.
I hope you found this useful. If you’re looking for further assistance with Autodesk Civil 3D to improve drafting, design, and construction documentation, we provide consultancy and training based on your specific needs.
