New Release: Version 11

V11 has arrived
 

Built from your feedback. Focused on finding efficiency. 

RoadEng  & Terrain Tools Version 11 are inspired by real user feedback, and driven by a need to innovate an easier way to engineer. 



Terrain Module Feature Enhancements

Watersheds​
Creates features for independent flow catchment areas of the TIN model. 

Watershed Calculation

Streams & Ponds​
Expected location of streams in the TIN model, as well as locations where water would pool, represented as ponds. 

Streams and Pond Calculation | Terrain Modelling

Drainage to a Point​
Calculates the area that drains towards each selected point or feature.​ ​Also calculates the Most Hydraulically Remote Flow Path & centroid.

Drainage Calculation | Terrain Modelling

Flow Paths 
Calculates all flow paths from each selected point or feature. 

 

Flow Path Calculation from Points + Features | Terrain Modelling

Hydro-Enforced Features
Allows flow through a feature rather than on the surface. Can be used in conjunction with other hydrology tools.

Hydro-Enforced Features | Hydrology Tools | Terrain Modelling

Thinning: Closest Point Removal (3D) 
Points close to other points (less than the minimum distance both horizontally and vertically), will be discarded.

Location Module Feature Enhancements

Polyline to Alignment:​ *Support-Exclusive Feature*
Generate an alignment with curves based on an input polyline. Applies to traverses,  Total Station centrelines, shapefiles & more!

3D Corridor Surfaces ​
New Projects use default settings. Save and use custom settings in future.

New alignments from multiple features​
If starting new alignments from a terrain features or Landxml, you can create several alignments at once.

Multiple Alignment Import | RoadEng

Multi-Plot: Multiple alignments in a book​
Create multi-plot books with more than one alignment. You can set each chapter with its own alignment.

Multi-Plot | V11 | RoadEng

Softree Optimal (add-on) Feature Enhancements

Smart Curves: ​
Vertical Curve Simplification Tool 
*Support-Exclusive Feature*
Simplifies vertical alignment through merging Curves and Vertical IP Reduction. 

Smart Curves | Vertical Alignment Tool

Path Explorer AI *Support-Exclusive Feature*
Explore options to get from Point A to Point B in minutes. Path Explorer returns optimized alignment options within a matter of minutes.
