SCC – Design

The SCC design module includes a wide range of tools for processing road, rail and tunnel data.  Click here for rail tools.  Click here for a youtube playlist of some road related functions.  Design tools available include

• Import alignments from MX/MOSS, DOER, and LandXML (AutoCAD Civil, InRoads, etc..)
• Export of geometric information to supported loggers / roading programs.
• Comprehensive access to design chainage / offset system for modelling and spreadsheet functions, including extraction of sub-models and data sets by chainage / offset range, and bi-directional conversion of chainage, offset, level data to X,Y,Z data

• Volume optimization including cut & fill balancing, and minimization of cut volumes along an alignment
• Interactive design of:
  • Horizontal alignments
  • Vertical alignments
  • Section templates with multiple surfaces with cut/fill specific elements
  • Creation of alignments from existing survey strings
  • Building footprint design
  • Real time side slope analysis
• Create alignments from surveyed strings
• Set the gradient through selected points to establish 3d designs from plans
• Create offset strings from the alignment, with fixed or variable side slopes

• Comprehensive real-time 3d viewer which can be distributed at no extra cost to your user, including
  • Extensive of default and customisable linear objects, including stone and brick walls, fences, hedges, berms and overhead lines complete with realistic catenaries.
  • Huge range of discreet objects including street furniture and vegetation covering all common species at various stages of growth.
  • Huge range of textures including numerous types grass, earth, and man-made materials, and support for inclusion of aerial photography.
• Visual intrusion analysis (ZVI), ideal for environmental impact studies

• Highlight all the areas in a model where specific objects are visible or hidden from the ground or a specific viewer height above the ground.
• Remove ‘noise’ from scanned data, such as removing cars when processing a scanned road surface
• Optimize large models and massively reduce their size while preserving accuracy
