- So you will have seen that I have plugged the Dynamite VSP Plugin to Civil 3D a couple of times. This is for high end visualisation and animation using 3DS Max.
But there is another plugin to Civil 3D that has been available from the start.

For that daily quick and easy way to visualise your project but also for checking your design for sight lines.
At AU this year they annouced a new application that takes this checking to a new level.
Below is some information about it and also two webinars that are planned for the next two days.

Through 3D analysis the Rapid Road Safety Analyzer will help customers make informed decisions regarding road safety based on a complete picture and full understanding of the roadway environment.
Project planners face daily critical design issues relating to budgets, cost, and deadlines. Traditionally geometric road design has been based upon mathematic equations where site distance is a key factor driving design parameters. In the real world, things are much more complex. With over 1.2 million fatalities worldwide annually in road crashes - it is clear that more can be done from a design and analysis perspective to improve roadway safety.
Learn more about this amazing new tool by participating in the webinar on the Rapid Road Safety Analyzer on:
Tuesday December 11th at 16:00 GMT, 11:00 Eastern Time, 8:00 Pacific Time.
Wednesday December 12th at 19:00 New ZealandTime, 17:00 Sydney Time.
The 45 minute live webinar sessions take a task oriented approach aimed at solving everyday real-life visualization challenges that face civil engineers, designers and land planners. The series will provide a broad base of information for all interested parties regardless of the design and visualization software they are using today. Civil 3D users will find extra value in the online seminars as the concepts are both optimized and will be demonstrated in the Civil 3D platform.
