3D MAPPING & SITE DESIGN

Unlock the Power of 3D for your Site Projects

A comprehensive software solution for advanced 3D site engineering. Offering robust capabilities for handling survey data, precise stockpile volume calculations, and detailed mine surveying, this platform supports accurate quantity takeoffs and efficient pad, pond, and landfill site design. Leverage its powerful geological mapping, surface contouring, and visualization tools. Core functionalities include surveying, coordinate geometry, image manipulation, digital terrain modeling, contouring, volume and earthwork calculations, design, grading, visualization, and report generation, providing a complete workflow for site development projects.

3D Display
3D window shows a perspective display of features and TIN surfaces. Includes drive-through mode for use with linear features.

Cable Logging Planning
In the forest-industry version, includes complete functionality for cable planning analysis. Analyze payload, clearance, and line tensions. Evaluate different types of equipment and logging configurations. Plot various carriage positions for a given midspan deflection (third point method).

Digital Terrain & Surface Modelling
A complete set of functions for creating a 3D surfaces and Digital Terrain Model (DTM), including break lines and boundary areas. Contours can be generated at user specified intervals with full control of color, line types and labels. Contours can be updated at any time.

Site Design and Grading
Site design made easy with intuitive grading functions, feature creation and design of polygonal shapes such as ponds, pads, pits etc.

3D Mapping & Site Design Features & Functions

LiDAR Import & Thinning Control
Create surface models from large LiDAR and UAV datasets. Have complete control over your point data thinning functionality. Thinning to polygons, corridors, coordinates regions, or exterior regions.

Survey Data Management
Import and management of a variety of survey and file formats, including: total station, LiDAR, ASCII, DWG, DGN, USGS DEM, LandXMl and image formats (TIFF, BMP, JPG). Total station data can be included with automatic control of linear features, breaklines and symbology. Import georeferenced background imagery from our Live Maps tool.

Volume Calculations & Reporting
Calculate stockpile volumes using average end-area method. Easily calculate volumes between entire surfaces. Set a boundary feature and determine the polygon's surface properties (surface area, volume, average slope and aspect).
Calculate volumes between surfaces or enclosed within a single surface.

Feature Tools
Format features with annotation, line-type, symbols and hatching control. Manipulate features by moving, sizing, rotating, breaking, joining. Easily manage feature properties: modelled, displayed, draped, breakline, connected, and boundary.

Output Sheet Creation
Create your own customized output sheet with plan, profile windows, title blocks, legends and more. Export your output sheet for use with Avenza PDF Maps.

Watershed & Hydrology Tools
Easily determine catchment areas of the TIN model and create corresponding features. The automatic calculation of watershed areas is based on a regular grid. The user can choose the grid cell size. An additional drainage area feature allows users to determine the drainage area associated with a specific point, useful in culvert design projects (new Version 10 feature).

CAD Engine Not Required
Terrain Tools does not require a CAD engine to run. It is a stand-alone program designed for engineering over drafting. It is compatible with AutoCAD and Bentley products and can be saved in standard output formats: LandXML, DXN, DGN, DWG and more.
