ARCHIVING PROJECTS
Civil Designer allows the placement of all relevant files from a selected project into a zip file for backup or for transmission via email (or other transport medium). The data stored in the zip file are sufficient to recreate the project in its entirety, including data paths. Note that this function is only available when no project is currently open (to prevent problems with unsaved data).

The Moroccan 'Plan Azur'
"Civil Designer's powerful terrain module was used to process the DTM for the entire 620 hectare site as well as the additional 1000 hectares surrounding the site. The 3D view module helped us generate perspectives with land use overlays which allowed planners to understand a very complex topographic landform in very little time, minimizing the time needed to physically validate planning products on field inspections."
