How it works

Five steps, inside your own drawing

Constraints in, graded surfaces out, and back into Civil 3D without breaking the dependency chain.

Screen recording: Clean 2D boundaries

Import alignments and parcels, then clean 2D boundaries before grading.

Key features

Accuracy, speed, and a grade you can trust

Geometry checks, live grading, multi-solution comparison, manual editing, and finished lot grade export to CAD

  • 2D linework geometry check

    2D checks

    We verify the 2D linework is closed before grading, no overhangs, underhangs, overlaps, or geometry errors.

  • 3D feature line elevation check

    3D Checks / Feature Line Creation

    We create every feature line within your lot, in a minute, on a thousand home sites.

  • Slope, setback, and drainage constraint setup

    Set up constraints & presets

    Slope, setback, and drainage presets carry forward from Civil 3D. Then the grade runs against those constraints from the first pass.

  • Real-time grade updates as constraints change

    Live grading

    Constraints and checks update the grade as you change inputs. You see the result immediately, not after a full redo.

  • Multiple grading solutions compared side by side

    Multiple solutions

    Generate more than one valid grade for the same lot. Then compare scenarios side by side before you commit.

  • Manual inline grade edits after generation

    Manual edits

    Refine the grade inline after generation. You keep the parametric result instead of throwing it away.

  • Approved grade exported back into Civil 3D

    Export to CAD

    Push approved feature lines and surfaces back into Civil 3D. They land in your drawing without breaking the dependency chain.

Why drtwrk

Built by civil engineers

Accuracy, speed, and confidence on finished lot grades, not speculative layouts.

  • Time vs. manual

    Hours of hand grading become seconds. Change one constraint and the grade updates everywhere it applies. No starting over. Grade every feature line in a lot, in a minute, at thousand-home-site scale.

  • Not another layout tool

    Finished lot grades for Civil 3D. Feature lines and surfaces that land in your drawing. Built for your existing Civil 3D workflow. Not speculative massing or a layout exercise. Not a Civil 3D replacement.

  • Cost of Change

    Design changes that once meant hours of rework now cost almost nothing. Shift a setback or adjust a constraint. The grade rebuilds in place. Less risk per iteration means you explore options instead of the first workable answer.
