MXROAD V8i (SELECTSeries 4) 08.11.09.904

MXROAD helps you improve design quality by combining traditional engineering workflows of plan, profile, and cross-sections with innovative 3D modeling technology based on parametric relationships and constraints. Create a 3D model at the beginning of your project and perform preliminary analysis and design visualization in real time with information-rich modeling integrated with mapping, GIS, and business tools such as PDFs, i-models, and hypermodels.

Capabilities:
- Acquire and incorporate surveys
Work with any type of field-data survey, ASCII, GPS, LiDAR, contour maps, photogrammetric, and many other forms of data. You can modify and process the data as needed and when the design is complete, upload design data to data collectors for stakeout or automated machine guidance for site preparation.

- Create horizontal and vertical alignments
Use object-oriented coordinate geometry and alignment design capabilities that provide intelligent updating as you quickly create precision horizontal and vertical alignments. Use elevation profiles to display surface information as well as vertical alignments associated with horizontal alignments.

- Create profiles and cross sections
​Create profiles and cross sections from any point within the design. View updates on the fly as the design is modified with dynamic cross sections. You can see the ground changing to reflect design edits. Include surface features, roadway components, and notations such as limits or stationing.

- Create project base maps
Combine engineering and GIS data to create project base maps that combine analysis, visualization, and presentation to ensure better project communication via stunning maps and intelligent PDFs.

- Design and analyze corridors
Use immersive corridor modeling capabilities that support complex modeling and file federation demands required by BIM Level 2 and beyond. Streamline the complex development of every aspect of the roadway in a single, parametric presentation. You can move rapidly along a corridor at controlled intervals, viewing and dynamically designing all roadway components in concert.

- Generate civil project deliverables
Generate consistent, high-quality paper and digital deliverables such as paper plots, reports, 2D/3D PDFs, and 3D physical models. Automate and speed annotation, display styles, and reports by generating them directly from the embedded properties of objects. The software provides design, volume, and cross-section data in XML industry-standard formats for data exchange.

- Incorporate third-party models in civil designs
Ensure models are real-time and real-place referenced using third-party models in your design project. Import models from Trimble SketchUp to readily view the model holistically in the proposed environment.

- Incorporate topography and aerial imagery
Jump-start the conceptual design process by importing imagery and topographic data from USGS to view the design in a real-world setting. Drape imagery on TIN surfaces for quick 3D surface visualization. You can readily view the site’s capabilities in any location to gain insight in the design.

- Model, analyze, and design complete stormwater and sanitary sewer networks
Create, manipulate, design, and analyze stormwater and sewer networks that are fully integrated with your roadway designs. You can manipulate networks in plan or profile views, displaying not only the drainage model but also other utilities.

- Model and analyze terrain
Create intelligent models containing not only terrain data but also roadway or site features. You can use features to visually distinguish structure, appearance, and symbology in the design.

- Reuse common design layouts
Use civil cells to ensure standards are implemented, increase design quality, and eliminate the need to repeatedly design common configurations. If you can design it, a civil cell can handle it. There is no limit to the simplicity or complexity of a civil cell.

- Simulate vehicle path movement
Reduce costly design errors by simulating vehicle path movement throughout the site design process to readily identify issues early in the project. Use a pre-populated library of vehicle templates or design custom templates to meet your project needs. You can export files in DWG, Land XML, and PDF formats.

- Visualize designs
Experience your designs in real time with constraint-driven templates, a context sensitive intuitive interface, and dynamic 3D modeling. Visualize the design at any time and on demand within the modeling workflow. No translations, software, or special workflow process is needed.
