Work with Autodesk® Civil 3D data

Use displayed proxy Civil 3D objects as a reference or import Civil 3D objects to BricsCAD civil objects for easy access to object information and use for further design.

SCAN TO TIN

Accurate TIN Surfaces from scanned data

Create, edit, and manage highly accurate and lightweight TIN surfaces with scanned data from aerial, terrestrial, or bathymetric LiDAR captures.

Pc attach  - Icon

Import and manage point clouds

Import point-cloud data from multiple formats and classify to filter out unnecessary data.

Copy string to group - Icon

Create survey features from point clouds

Classify point clouds to exclude non-ground features and use 3D strings and snapping to create survey features accurately.

Aimleaderedit add - Icon

Generate annotated drawings

Generate CAD deliverables with surveyor-focused drafting tools such as transparent commands, line and curve labels, and geometry creator.

Tincreate - Icon

Refine and manage TIN surfaces and contours

Filter out unnecessary points, add and remove breaklines, and remove outer edges. Display and label contours, and use surface smoothing to fine-tune a TIN Surface.

Tinsurface shared  - Icon

Share TIN surfaces across collaborative drawings

Smart referencing enables lightweight parallel working with the same TIN surface. Any design changes to the original drawing prompts other users to update to the newest iteration.
