Coordinator

A pre-entry level version of the product, Coordinator allows the user to download (or import) and reduce field information from a range of survey instruments and data collectors via Civilcads Neutral Editor up to a maximum point limit of 5000 points.

Traverse information logged on site can be adjusted when necessary and the user can set up survey codes to appear as required. All reports can be printed out to any standard Windows based printer.

Coordinator allows the opening and saving of Civilcad jobs files to share with other Civilcad users

Base

Civilcads entry level package, Base has an no point restrictions, and offers all of the functionality of Coordinator plus:

Base Advantage

This module develops on the Base package by introducing the ability to produce Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) and produce subsequent contours displayed as either straight lines or curved elements.

DTMs can be edited once they are have been created, with fully interactive triangle editing tools available such as Long Triangle Deletion and Boundary Clipping.

Contours are created 'on the fly' and their display parameters are fully configurable.

Survey Standard & Professional

The features of this module include reduction for both total station data collector and manually entered data but adds additional advanced co-ordinate geometry, terrain modelling and volume calculation using a variety of methods.

Designed for smaller survey projects, the number of points each Civilcad Survey Standard job can process is limited to 5000. The Professional version has all the features of Survey Standard but has no point limitation.

It also functions as a compiler and editor of drawings. It will accept and merge drawings from all of the civilcad modules and allows for preview and graphical editing to take place before plotting.

Survey Advantage Standard & Professional

Builds on the functionality of Survey Standard and Professional by adding the ability to create, manipulate and output cross sections and long sections using a comprehensive section editor

Civilcads Section Editor

The same 5000 and unlimited point options apply to the Standard and Professioanl versions respectively.

Survey & Roads Standard & Professional

The final pair of modules incoraparate all of the above features but include a comprehensive Road Design module. This version incorporates all the facilities you need to design a simple rural road, or
accomplish an intricate design for a multi-lane divided highway. It is equally adept at handling the most complex road reconstruction project.


This module allows for a wide range of data entry methods and provides the user with the ability to
specify the longitudinal and cross section plotting to suit their own requirements.


The user can create a library of design and plotting tables to apply to specific jobs, therefore saving
operator time by applying a stored table of information as required. Additional features of the Roads module include:
