A New Home

Posted by James Wedding, P.E. on 31st July 2007

In case you hadn’t noticed, Civil3d.com has been running slow of late. To hopefully remedy this situation, we’re moving homes. Please bear with us as we move servers over the next weekday. You’ll see some odd things, and perhaps get some links, but we’re working to make the transition as easy as possible.

Thanks for visiting, subscribing, and supporting civil3d.com.
