Field notes from building SheetAgent for Civil 3D — what we're shipping, what we're learning, and the math behind the manager portal.

Why match lines drift

Match lines get placed once at seams that always move. Here's why they drift in Civil 3D, and what changes when they follow the design.

The renumber nobody asked for

When the scope changes, the geometry holds still but the match lines break anyway .Here's how a renumber walks an off-by-one through every tiled drawing in the set.

When the design moves, the sheets pay for it Why sheet production hurts in Civil 3D, and what changes when the tool moves with the design.

"The first build of a sheet set is the easy 30%. The other 70% is everything that happens after the design moves."
