Design 3D

Design 3D offers several tools that can be used in different workflows and can be useful in different situations to:

• Create 3D polylines.

• Create a project sideslope.

• Calculate the project surface.

• Manage construction sites to simplify the calculation of a 3D model to perform an excavation and the calculation of the access ramp to the excavation.

• Split, cut and merge surfaces.

  

New empty surface: how to creates a new empty surface element in project manager.

Surface properties: surface subproject properties.

Lay polyline to surface: how to lay a polyline to a surface.

Lay polyline to plane: how to lay a polyline to a reference plane.

Polyline elevation: how to set a specific elevation for polyline vertexes.

Surface perimeter: calculates the perimeter of a selected surface.

Sideslope to surface: generates a sideslope from a polyline to a surface.

Sideslope to elevation: generates a sideslope from a polyline to a reference elevation.

Sideslope by offset: generates a sideslope entering the offset values.

Sideslope between two polylines: generates a sideslipe between two polylines.

Excavation surface: creates an excavation surface from a polyline to an excavation bottom.

Add ramp: creates a ramp surface.

Extrude to create a surface: extrudes a 2D object into a 3D surface.

Triangulate polyline: how to triangulate a closed polyline.

Merge surfaces: how to merge surfaces.

Delete area: how to delete an area from a surface.

Divide: how to divide a surface along a polyline.

Cut: how to cut a surface along a polyline.

Offset: how to apply an offset to a surface.
