Autodesk has released its first extension designed specifically for civil engineers and road engineering professionals. The Vertical Alignment Editor Extension is a modular enhancement for the Autodesk Civil Design application. It is available only through the Autodesk subscription program. In September the company also released Autodesk Building and Mechanical and Autodesk Building Electrical. The applications are built on top of Autodesk Architectural Desktop 3.3 and AutoCAD 2002. The programs provide predefined design content (dimensional and performance information about pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and other elements) for the most common components in the building model.
