VESTRA Civil 3D for AutoCAD Civil 3D
VESTRA Civil 3D is the Roadway-Design Plug-in for AutoCAD Civil 3D. Wizard interfaces help you to accomplish complex design tasks such as junctions, intersections, roundabouts, and turnarounds/Cul-de-Sacs. According to VESTRA's key concept of geometric relationships between design elements, updates in one place are instantly reflected by any object. This dynamic engineering model makes changes faster and easier.

• Automatic constructions of intersections, Cul-de-Sacs, and roundabouts
• Use of templates for repetitive design tasks
• Vehicle swept path analysis
• All design elements are stored in DWG files
• Design changes are updated automatically through dynamic linked alignments

Junction Wizard
Click to enlarge
• At-grade junctions can be automatically created using the Junction Wizard.
• Roadway Design with all important types of curves, e.g. simple curve with taper, or compound curve
• Produce right-turn and left-turn lanes with adjustable parameters such as taper style, lane width, and length.
• Use the wizard to create freely adjustable divisional as well as triangular islands.
• Automatic construction of medians with the choice between three different types of noses (semicircular, bullet-nose end, or modified bullet-nose end).

Roundabout Wizard

• The Roundabout Wizard works – as well as the Junction Wizard – with the intelligent concept of corresponding elements: updates made in one place are instantly reflected by any related object.
• The wizard covers all existing categories of roundabouts
• Junctions: Just define parameters such as entry radius, exit radius, lane width, and edge of pavement alignments are automatically generated.
• Automatic creation of approach leg islands or splitter islands
• Define right-turn bypass lane with acceleration lane, or yield at exit
• Use Inscribed Circle Mode and generate best fitting circle size and position – all results according to standards.

Dynamic Swept Path Calculation
• The Dynamic Swept Path module allows you to evaluate vehicle paths and movement. Various algorithms can be used for calculation. Design vehicles are provided in extensive vehicle libraries. Additionally, users can create their own vehicle types and add them to new or existing libraries

Turnaround & Subdivision Wizard
• Helping wizards have been created for standard procedures such as the construction of Cul-de-Sacs, and traffic calming facilities. Parking lanes and bus bays as well as pedestrian crossings, lane narrowings, or raised medians can be created and edited graphically.

Railway Design
• Powerful alignment design capabilities using Alignment Manager and Alignment Wizard interfaces
• Automatic inclusion of switches and track connections in the calculation
• Section Design
• Calculation of the superelevations taking account of dynamic parameters (automatic calculation of standard values)
• Automatic generation of line and switch elevation plans.
