On the Workbench
Problems worth solving.
These are ideas, prototypes, and tools we’re exploring for Civil 3D. Some are further along than others.
Vote on our dumb ideas. Or give us a better one.
A vote isn’t a preorder or a promise we’ll build it - but it helps us decide what deserves our attention, or if we should just go golfing.

🟣 RESEARCH
🟢 EXPLORING
ET-002 Ross
The one that colours all of your TIN triangles automatically.
🟠IN DEVELOPMENT
ET-005 Ewan
The one that creates an exterior boundary from messy geometry.
🟢 EXPLORING
ET-009 Phoenix
The one that rebuilds exterior boundaries when Civil 3D says they’re no good.
🟠IN DEVELOPMENT
ET-012 Beck
The one that reads your redlines and actually makes the changes to your drawing while you’re chatting to Jim.
🟢 EXPLORING
ET-003 Edward
The one that patches design changes into coloured TIN models after Ross.
🟢 EXPLORING
ET-006 Noah
The one that fixes imported Microstation linework so it can be used in Civil 3D.
🟠IN DEVELOPMENT
ET-010 Studio
The one that gives you a complete, good-looking Civil 3D drawing setup from day one, without calling your Mom for help.
🟢 EXPLORING
ET-013 Echo
The one that lets you run commands just by saying them out loud. You’re not a Jedi.
🟢 EXPLORING
ET-004 Oliver
The one that draws grading tick marks for making drawings (properly).
🟢 EXPLORING
ET-008 Neo
The one that fixes your exterior boundary when it’s touching a break line and screwing up your contours.
🟣 RESEARCH
ET-011 Hamlet
The one that turns Civil 3D stage-storage reports into finished engineering tables automatically.
🟢 EXPLORING
ET-014 Bev
(AutoCAD and C3D)
The one that quietly learns how you use AutoCAD and builds a personalized ribbon around the tools you actually use. Local, adaptive, and designed to get better as your workflow changes.
