 THE COMPLETE
INTEGRATED SOLUTION

The Civil Designer

range of integrated software
offers you the benefits of working
in a visual design environment with
seamless interaction between the design
tools for even greater productivity.
 THE HISTORY OF CIVIL DESIGNER
Knowledge Base was started in
1989 with a very simple mission
statement: to develop professional
software for civil engineers. Initially we
developed software to analyse and
design sewer and stormwater
networks. In time we formed a close
relationship with the developers of
Stardust and AllyCAD.
This lead to a basic form of data
exchange between the various
programs, largely by means of macros
and external routines to query the
DTM and CAD databases. Although
this worked, we wanted a simpler and
more efficient system to extract
ground levels for use in our Sewer
and Stormwater programs.
In 1995 we purchased Stardust from
Rob Wooding Associates which
enabled us to develop an improved
interface between the three programs.
For six months we burnt the
midnight oil as we tried to understand
the code while sorting out the bugs,
but it was well worth the effort as we
released Stardust V5.14 in
November 1995.
By the beginning of 1997 we had
mastered the Stardust code and
started on the project that was
destined to become Civil Designer.
Initially we only wanted to integrate
Stardust, Sewer and Stormwater, but
we soon discovered that our existing

 WHAT IS CIVIL DESIGNER?
Civil Designer consists of a suite
of fully interactive design modules
which combine to form an integrated
data gathering, drawing, surface
modelling and design system for civil
engineering infrastructure.
All the modules interact with the
user and each other through a
simplified and logical interface. There
is little inter-dependency between
different routines in the suite. You can
run virtually any routine at any time
which means that you have complete
freedom and flexibility to decide how
to handle your tasks.
This seamless interaction between
the design tools results in even
greater productivity. No longer do you
have to transfer data between
different design programs. In Civil
Designer each design module will
share its data with the other modules
when required.
The industrial-strength CAD
engine allows you to easily display
backdrop drawings or bitmaps, and to
use CAD functions to define the
design elements.
For example, you could load a
cadastral drawing of a new housing
development, import ASCII data from
the topographical survey, and
generate the DTM. Now you can
switch on the contour display or slope
shading. When a design module
needs an elevation it simply queries “For me, using Civil

 YOU AND CIVIL DESIGNER
When you become a member of
the international community of Civil
Designer users you are buying into
much more than just a CD and a
manual, you will be signing on to the
broad range of support services that all
Civil Designer users enjoy.
These services include regular
upgrades, hotline support, specialised
training to meet your needs and
regular bulletins.
Civil Designer is continually
evolving in response to requests from
the user community. Our Upgrade and
Support contract will therefore ensure
that you receive the latest updates as
soon as they are released.
We have also established a
well known Support Centre that is
manned by highly experienced and
dedicated professionals who have an
extensive knowledge of the software.
They are available to help registered

between 08h00 and 17h00 (CAT).
The support team has the added
benefit of having our development
staff just across the corridor in the
event of a specialised query. We are
dedicated to ensuring that all your
enquiries are answered.
Our outcomes-based training
programs will show you how to
become efficient and productive users
of Civil Designer. The courses have

 DESIGN CENTRE
Design Centre is the
heart of the system and
includes the Graphical and
Topographical Engines. It allows you
to create new drawings with
supporting digital terrain modeling
(DTM) data.
Design Centre lets you read in and
reduce survey data from various
sources. We support a number of data
logging programs and total stations.
The terrain database has a theoretical
limit of two thousand million points,
which may be allocated into any one
of 128 terrain surfaces.
You can create a digital terrain
model from the raw coordinates with
full control over the break and feature
lines on the site. If you want to
remove the background clutter simply
filter the points display to show only
certain points and break lines.
When you use the interactive
graphical functions to manipulate the
data, the contours will be updated as
you change the break or feature lines.
Intelli-Line break line generation
allows you to use cheap computer
time to define the model features as
opposed to slow and painful manual
breakline definition.
Thereafter, you can fill in the rest
of the site in a matter of seconds, or
alternatively, use the lightning
fast triangulation option for
more uniform sites.
You can generate contours with
user-defined intervals, highlighting

 SURVEY + TERRAIN
Survey+Terrain is a
digital terrain modeling
module that provides
interactive earthworks design and
calculations.
In addition to the functions in
Design Centre, this module
incorporates more complex survey
calculations, error figures and
control surveys.
You can create a terrace in a
number of ways by importing, typing
or graphically defining the corner
coordinates. Generate the terrace
banks and toepoints with variable
slopes by simply specifying the
bank criteria. If you do not like the
terrace you can change the layout
or simply drag it to another position
on the site.
Calculate the volume of a terrace
in seconds or balance the cut and fill
volumes with the optimization
function. You can even manipulate
an individual terrace on a
multi-terrace site.
The ability to store the terrace
design in any one of the 128 surfaces
allows you to very easily switch
between different ‘what-if’ scenarios,
and to calculate the difference in
volume in each case. Once you have
finalised your design you can merge
the terrace with the
underlying ground profile to
create a final site model “We needed to know

 ROADS
Roads is an interactive
embankment design module
that is eminently suitable for
urban and rural roads, freeways,
airports, railways and dams.
You can create multiple design
codes for horizontal and vertical
alignment as well as super-elevation
and simply load the one you require
for a particular job. Roads will
determine the horizontal curve radii,
vertical curve lengths and super-
elevation based on the design speed
and design criteria.
The Road Rehabilitation function
will calculate the horizontal
alignment, vertical alignment and
super-elevation of an existing road
from cross sections.
Display a bitmap showing the
natural features, the cadastral layout
drawing or the site contours while
defining the horizontal alignment
graphically by indicating the position
of the HPIs. Once the HPIs have been
defined you can drag them to modify
the alignment.
The vertical alignment function
allows you to display up to 4 profiles
such as the ground and rock profiles
at the centre line, as well as the left
and right road reserves. The cursor
position is dynamically displayed on
the plan view so you know exactly
where the horizontal curves are.
Precise control of the

 MAP
MAP is a fast and easy
to use GIS (Geographic
Information System) module.
It is designed for use by local
authorities, government bodies,
non-government bodies and all others
who need to represent physical
entities with an associated database
of information.
MAP allows you to work in a
defined projection using a selected
datum in either the southern or
northern hemisphere. You can model
point, line and region objects with
user-defined attributes (database
information) for each entity.
Import and export Arcview SHP
files, MapInfo MID/MIF files and even
Regis Feature files. MAP will calculate
the length, perimeter and area of
entities automatically.
You have full control over the way
themes are displayed as well as the
redraw order of the themes. You can
also overlay drawings, bitmaps,
topographical data and annotations.
Use the thematic mapping
to display themes in an intuitive
graphical form for quick recognition of
the spatial relationship between
objects.
Database information can
be accessed locally or across your
network.

a specified tracking path.
It has been designed for ease of
use. You simply draw or select the
vehicle path, select the vehicle for the
simulation, and then specify either a
forward or a reverse run to create the
track or swept path envelope.
Vehicle Libraries are completely
user configurable. Libraries for TRH
17 design vehicles and various
commercial aircraft are distributed
with the program. You can create new
libraries and add your own vehicles to
the library by simply entering the
dimensions for the new vehicle into a
graphical vehicle dimension dialog.
A full range of vehicle
configurations is supported. Single
unit vehicles include passenger cars,
buses, trucks and forklifts. Trailer and
semi-trailer combinations such as
cars with trailers, articulated vehicles
and interlinks are also supported, as
well as nose-steer and tail-steer
aircraft.
Forward and reverse movement
for any of the supported
configurations can be simulated
along a specified track path. You can
generate minimum turning
envelopes by simply
indicating a start position
and an initial direction of movement. “I was able to

used to determine how close the

Additional points, within
or beyond the vehicle’s
body, can be tracked using
the Cargo Point Tracking
function. This allows you to
track the position of cranes,
side mirrors or cargo extremes along
the track path. “Without Turn for

 THE FACTS

So why do civil engineers prefer Civil Designer?

1. It is the only truly integrated design platform. Seamless data compatibility

between design programs is a fact.

2. Provides a comprehensive design program - not just a draughting tool.

The program “thinks” in a way that aids the engineer to create the design
within the criteria with minimum effort. “Civil Designer was

6. Supports multiple large bitmaps such as aerial survey photographs or
orthophotos as a backdrop to the design. This gives you the ability to view
the spatial relationship of the design to other services or natural features.

7. It is compatible with AutoCAD and other popular CAD systems and design
programmes. Exchange data without having to leave the integrated
design environment.

8. There is no need to tie up an expensive CAD workstation. Civil Designer

is a complete design environment and creates your final drawings for you.
