progeEARTH Civil Survey

This Survey, COGO, DTM, and Road Design software, used with progeCAD Professional, provides a low-cost alternative to otherwise high priced Land survey, coordinate geometry, digital terrain modeling, and corridor design software.

---

This software is ideal for Professional Land Surveyors and Civil Engineers who need an economical software solution. It also provides a low-cost way for Architects to communicate their data to the Engineer.

---

This Survey, COGO, DTM, and Road Design software provides a total solution for point entry, point manipulation, lot design and annotation, contours, profiles, cross sections and corridor design.

Survey and COGO includes Traverse and Label (which allows you to draw a traverse using Bearing and Distances), Utilities, and Closure Reporting.

Setpoints

Set points by entering Northing & Eastings or pick a point. (if you pick a point on a 3D object, the elevation will be used for the point). You may also set points by entering a station and offset.

Automatic Linework and Point Symbols

Note: Whenever you add points to the drawing a user definable block can also be placed there automatically, such as an iron pipe or a power pole etc. Linework may also be imported from field codes.

Point Protection

Complete point protection gives you the choice of overwriting existing points or renumbering points as they are imported.

Boundary Traverse and Sideshot

Set points using a boundary traverse or sideshot with turned angle, North azimuth or South azimuth (use vertical angle or difference in elevation).

Radial Stakeout

Select the points you need for a radial stakeout. Create a radial stakeout report using Turned Angle or North or South Azimuth.

Inverse Points

Inverse points by entering the point number.

Intersections

Find intersections by Bearing - Bearing, Bearing - Distance, Az - Az, Az - Distance, Distance - Distance, Line - Arc, and Point offset to a line.

Draw by Point Number

You may draw a line from point to point by entering a range of point numbers.

Import / Export

Import points from an ascii file or export points to an ascii file. A file is created with Point Number, Northing, Easting, Elevation and Description. You may also create a Point List for viewing in the same format.

Manipulate Points

You may manipulate points in the drawing by moving or rotating them, you may change the elevation of a group of points, you may resize existing points in the drawing and you may also pivot the points about their placement point.

Labels

You may label the bearing (or North or South Azimuth) and distance of a line by selecting it or by picking points. You may label a curve (radius, length) or (delta, radius, tangent, length and chord bearing & length) by selecting it or by picking points. Label coordinates, areas, station and offset from an alignment (line, polyline or arc).

Bearing and Distance Listing

You may list the bearing and distance of a line by selecting it. You may list a curve (delta, radius, tangent, length and chord bearing & length) by selecting it.

Compute Areas

You may let the program automatically compute lot areas by Slide Bearing or Radial methods.

Drafting Aids

To help you in creating your drawing, we offer a collection of drafting aids. You may import a text file, insert a graphic scale or place crowsfeet on a line. You may Label stations on an alignment, create a profile coordinate system, label elevations by picking and extract a profile from 3d faces or from 3D lines. You may place text in a line or find and replace text in the drawing.

• Create a TIN (triangulated irregular network) of a set of points. Any point file in the xyz format can be used to create a surface model. Fault lines may be added to the model to control the triangulation process. Boundaries and voids may also be used to control the appearance of the model.
• Contours may be created at user defined intervals and placed on user defined layers.
• A mesh may be created of the surface.
• Volume calculations may be made between two surfaces.
• Create an unlimited number of surfaces.
• DTM Profile Cutter
• Select a polyline alignment and cut a profile from the surface. The profile may then be imported into a drawing. The program places a grid around the profile and annotates stations and existing ground elevations on a user defined interval. You may overlay the existing profile with a new profile cut from a modified surface model.

• Cut profiles and cross sections at user defined intervals along an alignment.
• Define and display proposed profiles along with vertical curves.
• Define and apply roadway templates to the cross sections.
• Place ditches by elevation or depth.
• Define backslopes or pin to an offset.
• Calculate cut and fill volumes based on average end areas.
