Webinar | Cogo Points for Design

Civil Site Design (CSD) includes a set of CSD Cogo Point tools to assist designers.

Users can add the elevation data stored in a Cogo Point directly to the vertical design of strings. This not only enables the locking of an IP to the vertical design, but the Cogo Point can reference other areas of the project for elevation data, such as a road or surface - updating when the reference is changed.

In this webinar, we will focus on using the CSD Cogo Points in a lot grading scenario, setting the elevations of the lot frontage to the road and setting the rear elevations using a reference to the front, and creating a model.
