July 2007
3-D Road Modeling flexibility has been enhanced: Individual corridors may now be configured to use both local and global preferences. Left or right offset curbs, medians and/or intersections may also be independently assigned specific assemblies, sub-grade depths, controls and resolution values.

ASE Civil surface management now includes the creation and dynamic updating of an “Integrated Site” surface that includes all roads, pads and user-defined features on the site. Volume results now include the “Integrated Site” with the individual corridor volumes for easy comparison. The preferences dialog has also been simplified.

June 2007
ASE Civil alignments have been modified to provide enhanced support for commercial & site grading applications.

Curb labels may now be copied and attached to any alignment and component.

May 2007
Base Map Control definitions may now be displayed graphically in plan view from any drawing connected to an ASE Civil project.

April 2007
ASE Civil now automatically initiates and manages surface building, contouring and earthworks calculations and reporting for alignments and sites using the Land Desktop or Civil 3D TIN modeling interface. Corridor and cumulative volume are reported as-needed or automatically after each design data export cycle and includes the top or datum surface of 3D Road Models, ASE Pads and Pad Ties, as well as user-defined geometry and boundaries.

March 2007
Curb return tangent point elevations now automatically adjust to account for changes in the vertical design.

New custom 3D Road Modeling assemblies have been added.

February 2007
Profile grade labels will now automatically adjust their positions on the profile to avoid text conflict and enhance legibility.

Profile-based vertical design controls have been enhanced.

Plan-view grade labels have been refined and improved.

3D Road Model output now includes section geometry through assemblies for easier viewing.

Vertical curves can be defined through cul-de-sac and knuckle offset curb runs.

Curb design control may now reference various user-specified locations on curb assemblies.

New custom 3D Road Modeling assemblies were added.

January 2007
28 new videos have been added to the Video Training Tutorials page to provide additional technical support to our clients.
