without having the screen
cluttered with data that is not in
use.
Survey data
viewing
•
Dynamic graphical viewing of processed
survey data
•
2D and 3D viewing and editing of survey
points and chains
•
Automatic graphical attributes of points and
chains as determined by feature code
•
Automatic graphical annotation of points
and chains as determined by feature code
or global settings
•
Multiple 2D and 3D camera positions with
independent zoom settings
•
Custom control of lighting for enhanced 3D
views and presentations
•
Ability to easily attach or create cell files
from MicroStation or AutoCAD applications
•
Automatic patterning of survey chains with
text containing cells for items such as
underground utilities
The ability to interactively check
for errors in 3D makes it easy
to find incorrect elevation data
and correct it before passing it
to the design department. The
3D drive-through capability
enhances client presentations,
is easy to set up, and is
available in real time.
The ability to segregate data by
feature code gives you control
over any automatic symbology
created.
DTM modeling
and viewing
Powerful and fast DTM algorithms mean your
systems perform well even with large DTMs.
DTM features include the following:
•
Ability to easily handle large data sets such
as USGS DEM (digital elevation models)
•
Ability to drape single or multiple USGS
7.5-minute quad maps onto a DTM surface
model
•
Simplified point and breakline editing
•
Cross-section construction
•
Tagging of obscured areas
•
Easy loading and construction
•
Curved breaklines
•
Viewing, rendering, and editing
•
Freehand cross sections and profiles
•
Terrain and DTM visualization
•
Color by elevation
•
Breakline crossing resolution
•
Ability to easily combine existing and
proposed surface models
•
Accurate earthwork computation using
surface-to-surface volumes
•
Ability to view aerial photographs at correct
location, scale, and orientation
•
Ability to drape aerial photographs onto
DTM surfaces
•
Ability to map images to real-world
coordinates
•
Realistic, on-the-fly renditions of survey
data
•
AVI files for drive-throughs, reviews, and
client presentations
Fast DTM creation, viewing, and
editing increase your
productivity. By combining
spreadsheet–type interfaces
with real-time graphical
updates, you can make fast
edits without having to
regenerate complex graphics.
The Auto Track feature built into
the DTM creation and editing
tools enables you to
automatically pan to a specific
area of interest, without having
to spend extra time panning
and zooming around the project
area.
