RoadEng includes functions for data collection, terrain modelling, contouring, site design, earthwork quantities, culverts, and corridor design.
Significantly different from other civil design software, RoadEng focuses on engineering, not CAD. RoadEng was designed from the ground up to work with objects such as surfaces, cross sections, alignments, drainage structures, and templates.
Stand-alone or with your existing civil design software, RoadEng® can add speed and power to your next corridor design project.
v6.0 [Feb 4, 2013]
1. Survey
- The Shot command allows quick entry of horizontal angle, vertical angle, slope distance, northing, easting and elevation.
- GPS real-time positioning is supported. Connect a NMEA device to see your current position on the map.
- Traverse by GPS. The coordinates from the GPS can be used to create new stations along the traverse.
- GPS coordinate entry for shifting and adjusting
traverses.
- Copy/paste coordinates.
- Linear Units and Coordinate Systems are now stored on each traverse document.
- Improved visibility of data records in Notes View.
2. Terrain
- Support for long feature names and layer names added.
- Added file formats including DGN, GPX, GML, DWG/DWG 2011, ArcView Grid and LAS
- LiDAR processing speed and memory usage improvements
- Save as grid functionality for creating cut/fill grids etc.
- Data import filtering and thinning by corridor and polygon.
- Export to HEC/RAS for hydrology analysis.
- Improvements to the grading object for handling corners.
- Added editing functions; Break All (explode), interpolation and automatic section generation.
