Generating 3D Views
In Civil Designer's Survey and Terrain Module, the 3D Terrain View function
allows you to generate and display a 3D view based on the line polygons in the terrain model.
You can select to generate the view for only a base surface, or for a base and terrace surface. In either case the line polygons that define the surface are decomposed into triangles for the view. As each triangle is created it is filled with a colour determined by the slope of the triangle.
If you have a bitmap attached to your project, overlaying the dtm, you can also drape it over the 3D
view by selecting a texture under the material selection in the 3D View.

Customer Quote |

"With Civil Designer you can design your banks on top of survey data and then present the final image in a combined 3D view. You can then fly through, go back and progress up the ramp in different stages to get an accurate picture.
Paving and graded entrances were a pleasure to design with Civil Designer, as designs were presentable to less technical people in a visually understandable manner."
