Key Features
Terrain Modeling
Assemble context data rapidly from traditional survey, point clouds, 3D reality meshes and terrain data.[reference:14]
Corridor & Alignment Design
Design road corridors, alignments and profiles with dynamic 3D modeling that updates drawings automatically when changes are made.[reference:15]
3D Drive-Through & Visualization
Get 3D look and feel of engineered road models with camera controls, embankment cut/fill transitions, intersections, safety barriers and pavement markings.[reference:16]
Drainage & Utilities
Complete detailed design capabilities for drainage, subsurface utilities and roadway engineering.[reference:17]
Concept Station Integration
Import and export conceptual alignments and 3D terrain meshes between ConceptStation and detailed design workflows.[reference:18]
Plan & Profile Production
Customize plan and profile sheets and annotations; all drawings update automatically when alignment changes.[reference:19]
Capabilities
- Design roads of any length in one go — no limit on road length for design[reference:20]
- Import designed centerlines from MX Roads and continue detailed design[reference:21]
- Export reports in Excel or other formats; publish i-models of complete designs[reference:22]
- Split terrain models into smaller sections for multi-user collaboration[reference:23]
- Import terrain mesh from Google Earth for real-world context[reference:24]
