Civil 3D automation · Lafayette, Indiana

Software that takes the busywork out of civil design.

Ouiatenon Systems builds add-ins and AI-assisted tools for Autodesk Civil 3D, made for small civil engineering firms that need production speed without a dedicated CAD-management team.

Projects

What we're building

A flagship product plus focused tools, each built on Autodesk's desktop and cloud APIs and tested against real civil engineering workflows.

Flagship · MVP in development

Civil3D-AI

A natural-language assistant for Civil 3D. Describe a task in plain English, such as creating an alignment, adjusting a profile, or labeling a pipe network, and the assistant translates it into Civil 3D API operations you can review before they run.

The MVP is being prepared for a pilot with a working civil engineering firm.

Drawing Standards Checker

Audits a drawing's layers, styles, and label sets against a firm's CAD standard and produces a fix-it report, so QA happens before plans go out the door.

Approach

Built by someone who has drafted the plans

Every tool starts from a real production pain point, not a feature list.

01

Field-tested

Tools are developed alongside working engineers and validated on real project data before release.

02

Reviewable automation

Automation, AI included, shows you what it will change before it changes it. The engineer stays in control of the drawing.

03

Small-firm first

Simple installs, sensible defaults, and pricing that makes sense for a two-person shop, not just an enterprise.
