Welcome to Quux Software!

We specialize in Civil 3D,
and only in Civil 3D!

Quux Software is the home of the Sincpac-C3D™, the premier generic toolset extension for Autodesk Civil® and Civil 3D® software.  Now in its fourth year of development, the Sincpac-C3D is a great compliment to the built-in features of Civil 3D.

The Sincpac C3D adds more than 100 general commands and features, and has often been likened to "Express Tools for Civil 3D".  For many users, the Sincpac C3D will pay for itself within the first few days of use, or even within the first few hours of use!

All features and tools in the Sincpac C3D are designed entirely for use in Autodesk Civil 3D® 2008-2012 software (or Autodesk Civil® 2009 or 2010), and all commands work on default Civil 3D entities.  Since no custom objects are involved, your drawings may be shared freely with people who do not have the Sincpac C3D.

Sincpac C3D v2.20 Released!

We've now released Version 2.20 of the Sincpac-C3D. This version introduces a lot of brand new commands, as well as improvements to older commands.

Here's a summary of the new commands added in this release:

  • CreateCurbs - A variation on CreatePads, this command will create multiple horizontal and vertical offsets from Feature Lines.  It can also be used on polylines, which are first converted to Feature Lines, with an option to get the elevations from a Surface.
  • TopoStationLabeler - Labels the Station, Offset, and Point description of points along an alignment. Labels are placed a set distance off centerline, 90 degrees to the alignment.
  • SortConnectedPipes – Sorts pipes connected to Structures by their size, smallest to largest. This allows the TextForEach to display them in the ‘correct’ order in the labels.
  • ChPipeHydraulicsFactors - Changes the selected pipe hydraulic factor values of the selected pipes. Hydraulic factors include Manning's Value, Hazen Williams Coefficient, and Darcy Weisbach Factor.
  • DLSewerLaterals - Create dynamic links between pipes, to keep laterals in sync with the main pipe.
  • DLSewerLateralsManager - Remove dynamic links between pipes.
  • DLSewerLateralUpdateRules - Update the lateral rules for linked pipes.
  • SPImportTrimbleDescKeys - Reads the description keys FXL file created by the Trimble software and import them into a C3D description key set, creating layers, blocks (symbols), and PointStyles as needed.
  • 'POS - "Point On Surface" transparent command, which can be used at any prompt that asks you to pick a point.  The return value is the X-Y value of the selected point, with the Z value from the selected Surface.

And we're still just beginning!

There is still much more to come!  A number of exciting tools are slated for release in the near future, along with many improvements to the existing tools.  Look for all three Sincpac C3D modules to gain significant additional functionality in the coming weeks and months.  Your purchase of a license includes updates for one year from the date of purchase, so you will gain access to all new tools and features as they are released.

The tools and commands in the Sincpac C3D feature balloon help in the dialog boxes, so most can be used without even reading a help file.  But should you need it, complete help is available at the click of a button.  The help file is available here on-line, so feel free to browse the list of commands and tools in the current version.  Starting with the 2010 version, the Sincpac C3D also features a Ribbon Interface.

And while the Full Edition of the Sincpac-C3D provides the most value, the functionality has been split into three modules, which can be purchased individually or in any combination.  So, if funds are tight, or you really only need a portion of the full functionality, you can select only the module(s) that will give you the greatest benefit in your line of work.  See the Product Matrix for details on which features are available in each module.  Also, feel free to download the complete Sincpac-C3D and request a free trial.
