Overview

Smart Utilities for AutoCAD Civil 3D (SmartUtils) is a software to create lightweight hydraulic network modules instead of the complicated Civil 3D modules. The SmartUtils modules are easier to create and manage and require less hardware resources and can handle huge networks without the need to split them into smaller networks over several files.

Drawing Layouts, Profiles and Clash Detection is significantly easier than C3D. Engineers can use SmartUtils to create, modify their network modules, detect, and fix any clashes with other networks, create profiles and layout styles themselves leaving the minor part of the job to the CAD technicians. 

The software is a Visual Lisp add-on to AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 and higher. It works with standard AutoCAD as well but some features will not be available like the functions related to surfaces and creating Civil 3D networks as they are not available in standard AutoCAD.

Additionally Smart-Utils comes with extra routines for daily CAD to increase productivity, like drawing rainbow corridors and clash detection between utilities and corridors, plus many more...

Hardware requirements depend on the project size, typically any hardware run Civil 3D efficiently will be sufficient.
