The AutoCAD tool palettes in SolidCivil are your go-to for clear and easily accessible design elements. These personalized palettes centralize the categories of AutoCAD objects used by the “MTMD,” such as texts, blocks, hatching, polylines, and multilines. Each item is accompanied by clear descriptions and is classified by themes or object types, such as existing, demolition, and proposed states.

These palettes are designed to make new users operational quickly, minimizing the learning curve. Additionally, when you use them, objects are automatically placed on standard layers, eliminating the need to manually search through reference documents for layer settings.

Are you familiar with the “Sheet Set Manager” functionality in AutoCAD and Civil 3D? SolidCivil takes this feature to the next level by integrating it into the “MTMD” layouts and title blocks. With this configuration, users can fill in title block information across all sheets quickly and apply changes instantly to multiple layouts. This automation eliminates the tedious and repetitive nature of manually updating title blocks, saving you valuable time.

For creating field survey drawings and existing surfaces efficiently, SolidCivil provides a preconfigured Civil 3D template that’s tailored for these tasks. The template integrates the “MTMD” coding system, both numeric and alphanumeric, into the Survey module. This feature enables seamless importation of land surveys and automatic generation of 3D symbols and lines based on the “MTMD” line code standards, making survey drawing faster and more precise.

SolidCivil offers a comprehensive catalog of standard dimension pipes—including Concrete, Cast Iron, PVC, HDPE, and TTOG—as well as manholes and catch basins made of concrete, all compliant with Quebec manufacturer standards. These configurations and networks are fully ready to use, making your gravity network design tasks efficient and accurate.

Designing pressurized networks has never been easier. SolidCivil includes a catalog of custom components such as standard PVC and ductile iron pipes, as well as accessories like elbows, plugs, crosses, tees, reducers, valves, and fire hydrants. These components come with pre-configured styles and are fully integrated into the starting template, allowing you to design and implement pressurized networks with confidence and ease.
