The software is also purpose built for the road reconstruction designers, and there are piping design tools for drainage and sewer designers. As you design, you will be drafting your outputs in-side AutoCAD®.

Here’s how Advanced Road Design can benefit you: Integrates design and drafting on your AutoCAD® based platform All-in-One Program – Surface, Alignment, Road and Pipe design Easy to learn – leverage your AutoCAD® skills Low cost – resides on top of your AutoCAD®

Surface Modelling

Turn your 3D drawing data into a Surface model and dynamically display contours and contour labels. You can create surface data from a multitude of data in the drawing, as well as external point files and LandXML.

Display the surface how you want—a wide range of sur-face analysis tools enable you to display slope arrows, elevation banding, direction shading and more.

It’s easy to share your data out to other design packages via LandXML transfer.

The benefits at a glance: Supports multiple data inputs Intuitive display controls Outputs dynamically represented in AutoCAD® Supports external point file data and LandXML Dynamic adjustments to contour settings Volume reports and supports surface merging AutoCAD® table output of surface analyses

When combined with Stringer Survey*, the surface modelling functionality provides a comprehensive to-pographical surface modelling solution. You can import your raw survey data into AutoCAD® to create COGO points.

Create your topographical surface with breaklines auto-matically added directly from the surveyed points.

You design in AutoCAD® and your drafting occurs in AutoCAD®, updating as you make your design changes. Save time, effort and risk with revision controls by man-aging the design and drafting in the one drawing.

Create numerous reports and tables from the design, such as surface analysis outputs, point setout or pit schedules.

Table outputs are generated as AutoCAD® table objects, enabling a high level control on the outputs.

Design long sections and cross sections output to sepa-rate drawings or as layouts in the current drawing—you get to customise the output to suit your drafting stan-dards during the plotting process.

The benefits at a glance: Outputs typically are made to external files (such as .csv) or AutoCAD® tables Table outputs can be customised by you Generate setout reports, volume reports, long and/or cross section plots at any time from your designs Quick and easy to use

Convert your AutoCAD® into a Civil Design package

Advanced Road Design

Advanced Road Design

Alignment design is easy in Advanced Road Design—just click on a polyline and it becomes an alignment object, complete with labelling.

Alignment editing tools provide quick adjustments to the tan-gents, curves and spirals. As you edit the alignment geometry the display updates in the drawing, including all labelling.

The benefits at a glance: Click button conversion from polylines to alignments Labelling is automatic, dynamic and fully customisable Labelling is automatically set to be plan readable Simple to use and easy to make edits Create AutoCAD alignment and curve tables

Alignment tables can be created when you create the alignment or during editing. You select the information to include in the Auto-CAD® table and update it when the design changes.

Alignment Design

Road Design—Road Networks, Road Reconstruction and String Design

Advanced Road Design combines template and string based de-sign and automates the inclusion of common design elements such as intersections, kerb returns and cul-de-sacs, providing for rapid creation and output of road subdivisions, reconstruction, rural, highway and other design projects.

With three dynamic and interactive views of your road design you can see the development of the plan, long and cross sections as edits are made. Plan drafting updates as the design changes, so you don’t need to worry about revision control.

Centralisation of the vertical grading and cross section editing tools makes designs simple and efficient.

Every alignment can be converted into a String for independent vertical grading, so you can construct whatever design you need.

Long and cross sections can be pub-lished at any time in the drawing – you control the sheet layout, scales, title block and more. Save and re-use plotting setups on any project.

Point setout can be generated at any time including external point files.

The software has been developed with road reconstruction in mind.

You can develop multi level sugrade layers, apply independent horizontal and/or verti-cal control over any part of your cross sec-

tion, match parts of your design to any surface, automate the verti-cal design by applying resheet/overlay depths, and more.

With multiple cross section window dis-plays, you can track changes to crossfalls and cut/fill depths along your road de-sign.

Using a String and modelling based ap-proach, you can tackle any type of de-sign, incorporating both new and exist-ing infrastructure into your design model.

Road Network Design and Outputs

Road Reconstruction

The benefits at a glance: Template and string based design Centralised vertical grading and cross section tools to streamline the design process Automates common road network elements such as inter-sections, kerb returns, cul-de-sacs and knuckles Comprehensive String design tools Dynamic and interactive views for long section, cross sec-tion and plan design and display Multiple vertical design windows to create and edit verti-cal geometry, including plan tracker Multiple cross section windows to view design sections at various chainages, with plan and vertical grading trackers

You can completely automate your road subdivision proc-esses using intelligent objects such as kerb returns, cul-de-sacs and knuckles. As the software understands the inter-actions between roads, kerb returns and cul-de-sacs, when you edit any road vertical or cross section geometry, the affected kerb re-turns and cul-de-sacs automati-cally update, including updating all linework and surfaces.

Sewer Designers—the benefits at a glance: Sewer house/property connections can check depth controls

and minimum levels along the sewer net-work House connections can be viewed in a vertical design window for editing Be alerted if sewer pipe edits result in any compliance issues with house/property con-nection levels Generate specific sewer reports to con-firm design compliance.

Advanced Road Design is a proven performer for large scale designs including service roads, 50+km of multi-ple divided carriage-ways and grade sepa-rated intersections. Advanced Road Design includes specific de-sign tools for highway designers in managing grade separated roads, multiple benching conditions and open drains.

You design it—the software will build it!

You can create your own design models in the software, applying any combination of roads, kerb returns, cul-de-sacs and other strings at user defined chainage ranges. This provides design freedom to model car parks, retaining walls, wetlands or other design features.

Surface models are created and can automatically update as any of the design strings change, as well as be shown in the cross sections.

Highway Design and Modelling

Pipe, Stormwater and Sewer Design

Pipe and Stormwater Designers—the benefits at a glance: Supports stormwater, sewer and general pipe design Avoid service obstructions and pipe conflicts Edit multiple pipe networks in Vertical Grading widows and interactively review crossing pipes Pipe networks are synchronised with and displayed on Road long and cross sections Drainage design is in accordance with Australian Rainfall and Runoff—review the design implications of making changes to pipe inverts and sizes, as you make the changes Easily create drainage catchments using surface and poly-lines in the drawing Easily create drainage catch-ments using surface and polylines in the drawing Plotting tools generate industry standard outputs complete with drainage details Customisable reports outputted directly to the drawing

Complete your pipe de-signs and generate your design outputs directly in the drawing.

You can take any polyline geometry in the drawing and convert it into a con-nected pipe network, then view and edit it verti-cally and in plan.

For stormwater drainage designers, assign catch-ments and rainfalls and have the software calculate pipe inverts and pipe sizes to accommodate the design flows. You can gener-ate long sections and reports of your designs.

The interactive vertical design windows make designing the pipe branches simple – see the pipe details in a design long section view including all crossing services, with conflicting pipes highlighted.

As you move pipes up and down and change pipe sizes you can re-view the design impacts.

Service Obstructions are created directly from polylines and are included in every vertical design window to avoid clashes.

For sewer designers, house/property connec-tions are included for depth controls and minimum levels along the sewer network. House connections (lot controls) are easy to create an edit.

The sewer pipes will automatically adjust to ensure compliance with the house/property controls. You can re-view and design your sewer pipe network in the vertical grading window, including display of all crossing pipes and house connec-tions.

Plotting and reports can be customised to suit your needs.
