AI-Powered

AI agent workflows that automate repetitive Civil 3D tasks

Give your AI agent the tools to route duct banks at a fixed cover depth, check pipe crossings against your clearance rules and pull quantities out of a Civil 3D model. Automate repetitive work using your project standards.

Agent Workflows

Give your AI agent a task and review the results.

Full workflow access requires a paid plan.

Route a duct bank at fixed cover

Lay a conduit run along an existing alignment and hold it at a set depth below the ground surface. Review the stations and inverts before anything is written.

Check crossings before issue

Find where a new run crosses existing services and compare each crossing against your clearance rules. Get a list to resolve rather than a drawing full of surprises.

Build a surface from survey points

Import a coordinate file, group the points and build a surface from them. Prepare the ground model a route is going to be set against.

Label and quantify a network

Label a pipe network and export its lengths and structures to a spreadsheet. Turn what is already modelled into numbers you can issue.

Section a route for approval

Cut sample lines along a route and generate the section views. Prepare the cross sections a reviewer is going to ask for.

Apply company layers and styles

Move Civil objects onto your standard layers and report what did not match. Bring an inherited drawing in line with your own standards.

Get Started in Minutes

1

Download & Install

Download the latest release and run the installer.

2

Configure in Civil 3D

Open Civil 3D and find the AUTOM8LABS panel in the Add-ins tab. Click the MCP Connector button to configure.

3

Connect AI App

One-click auto-configuration for Claude Desktop, ChatGPT and Cursor. Restart the AI app and start automating.

What you need to run it

It installs beside Civil 3D and talks to the AI app you already use.

Civil 3D 2024, 2025, 2026 or 2027

Windows, full Civil 3D. Earlier releases are not supported. If you are on plain AutoCAD, the AutoCAD connector covers 2022 onwards instead.

An AI app you already have

Set up in one click for Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor and GitHub Copilot. Bring your own subscription. There are no AI charges from us.

Your drawing stays on your machine

The connector runs locally against your open session. Nothing is uploaded to us, and the drawing is only ever read by the AI app you connect.

You approve changes before they happen

Anything that changes a set of objects reports what it would do first, so you see the result before committing to it.
