The Civil Visualization Extension is Available

As of today, those with AutoCAD Civil 3D on subscription will be able to download "The Civil Visualization Extension" (previously know as Dynamite VSP).

This extension provides a process to take Civil 3D surfaces and corridors and easily incorporate them in 3ds Max Design in order to create compelling visualizations.

There are two plug-ins in this extension. "The Civil 3D Exporter" allow us to export the data we select, and the "3ds Max Design Plug-in" does the magic. These plug-in work for the 2010 and 2011 versions of these applications.

If you do not own 3ds Max Design, a 30 day trial can be download from the Subscription Center as well.
