CADASTRAL SURVEYING IN SURVEY & TERRAIN
 |
The Survey & Terrain module is the primary module used by Land Surveyors. It is a digital terrain modeling module that provides interactive earthworks design and calculations as well as complex survey calculations. The program allows electronic input of data and supports a variety of formats.
|
The module can convert distances, areas and volumes and has a Unit Conversion Dialog Box that allows the user to select the appropriate conversion.
For example, it has predetermined conversion factors to convert Cape Feet or Cape Roods to the standard metre. It also allows for a user defined conversion factor and contains a number of transformations between different projection systems.
In the Survey & Terrain module there is general interoperability between the functions as imported survey measurements and coordinates can be recalled from the imported data as well as computed data.

"The detailed reticulation layouts, longitudinal sections and schedules of quantities in Civil Designer have enabled us to cut down on design times dramatically. In fact I would guess we have saved at least 60% design time."
