Civil Site Design for AutoCAD refers to using specialized software tools—most commonly Civil Site Design (CSD)—in combination with AutoCAD or AutoCAD Civil 3D to produce detailed designs for civil engineering projects like roads, subdivisions, stormwater systems, and grading.

Here’s a detailed overview of Civil Site Design for AutoCAD:

🔧 What is Civil Site Design?
Civil Site Design (CSD) is a third-party plugin developed by Civil Survey Solutions. It enhances AutoCAD and Civil 3D capabilities, providing automation and design tools tailored for civil engineers. It is used globally for:

Road and intersection design

Site grading

Pipe networks (stormwater, sewer, water)

Lot grading for subdivisions

Earthworks calculations

Corridor modeling

🛠️ Platforms Supported
Civil Site Design works with:

AutoCAD (standard or Map 3D)

AutoCAD Civil 3D

BricsCAD

AutoCAD 2025 and earlier (check compatibility with your version)
