What do you like best about Civil Designer?

What I liked most about Civil Designer as a first-time user was its integration across modules — being able to move easily between road design, drainage, earthworks, and hydraulics without switching environments. The cross-sectioning and stormwater tools were particularly helpful for the project I worked on, and the fly-throughs and visuals added an immersive touch that I really liked. I also appreciated the logical workflow, clean interface, and helpful support features, all of which made the overall experience feel polished and professional.

What do you dislike about Civil Designer?

There are a few limitations — for instance, the undo (Ctrl + Z) function didn't always behave consistently across modules, sometimes not working, or undoing more steps than intended. Another aspect that took some getting used to was the sheet file creation process, which felt a little less intuitive at first but became clearer after spending some time exploring it.

What problems is Civil Designer solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a 4th year BEng student working on a road design project, Civil Designer helped me bring together several aspects of the design process in one place, from setting out road geometry and cross-sections to analysing stormwater flow and drainage requirements. It essentially solved the challenge of having to use multiple programs for different tasks, which made my workflow much smoother and more efficient. For me, it was also a great introduction to professional civil engineering software, giving practical insight into how road and stormwater designs are developed and assessed in real projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
