Terrain Tools 3D

Terrain Tools^® 3D is a software toolkit for mapping, terrain modelling and land development. Versatile and easy to use, it includes functions for surveying, coordinate geometry, image manipulation, digital terrain modeling, site grading, design, visualization and report generation.

Terrain Tools is used everyday by 1000’s of civil engineers, surveyors, architects, geoscientists and planners. Applications include commercial and residential site development, landfills, dams, mines and pipelines.

Terrain: Import/Export and Coordinate Systems Import: TIF, JPG, BMP, ASCII, SHAPE, MS Excel, DXF, DWG, USGS DEM, SDTS, MrSID, ECW, GPX, MapInfo, LandXML, ARC Grid, KMZ, MIF/MID and GML. Export: ASCII, DWG, DXF, BMP, JPG, TIF, SHAPE, LandXML and KMZ. Direct interface to Garmin GPS devices. Thinning and coordinate transformation on import. Assignment of symbology, breaklines, and modelled properties on import. Support for coordinate systems including Lat/Lon, UTM, State Plane, Albers Equal Area and many others. Conversion between coordinate systems and datums using NADCON or NTv2 grid shift files.		Survey points and breaklines
Terrain: Mapping Creation and plan display of linear or point features. Entry of features by coordinate or bearing and distance. User defined attributes. Calculation of areas, lengths, bearings and slopes. Feature  formatting (annotation, linetypes, symbols hatching), and manipulation (move, size, rotate, break, join etc.). Curves, buffering and clipping. Feature/point densification and simplification. User definable symbols, linetypes and bitmap hatching. Image cropping, resolution control and rubber sheeting. Creation of output sheets including plan, profile, title blocks, legends etc.		Industrial site plan
Terrain: Surface Modelling TIN surface generation. Triangle control using breaklines, boundaries, void areas and maximum triangle side length. Surface shading by elevation, slope and aspect. Slope vector display. Surface to surface volume, surface area and average slope calculations. 3D display of features and TIN surfaces.		LIDAR Surface Model
Terrain: Profiles and Design Creation of profiles by draping over a surface model. Editing features in profile or cross section. Display of projected and intersected features in profile. Projection of features on multiple surfaces eg. sub-surfaces Grading design for polygonal shapes such as ponds, pads, pits etc. Merging TIN surfaces.		Grading Design
Terrain: Output and Reporting Creation of plan/profile sheets with automatic legends, title blocks, logos etc. Export coordinate and attributes to Microsoft Excel. Overlay design or survey information on Google Earth.		Plan, sections and 3D views.
