Caddie GIS

'Put simply, GIS or Geographic Information System is a application for accessing, assembling and analysing information'

How Could Using GIS Benefit Me

Well, even if you only ever consult the weather, or search for the fastest map route, then you're probably already using GIS.
So let GIS work for you and make sourcing, analysing and presenting accurate geographical information faster and easier than ever before

By using GIS, you can link data to geographic location, overlay maps and information such as boundaries, buildings, roads, flood plains, contours and much more, building up layers of information that can prove invaluable in developing a comprehensive picture of the sites and locations you work on. And using Caddie GIS' powerful interrogation tools you can develop an even deeper understanding, accessing not only the mapping data, but also the associated data files that include information on, ownership, status, areas and heights that provide the all-important context and allow bigger picture interpretations.

Why Choose Caddie GIS

GIS is an industry in its own right, replete with systems designed for those concerned only with the pursuit and portrayal of information.

However, for many professionals, GIS is more the beginning of the journey that is their design process. A journey that begins with the assembly and analysis of data, progressing through concept, scheme and approval to the realisation of an informed solution on site.

Specifically, for the designers, Caddie GIS provides an unique solution to the problem of combining the access and assimilation of GIS data with the speed, functionality, and compatibility of a full feature CAD system.

Caddie GIS also includes PostGIS and MySQL database support to enable you to create, control and access your own data without penalty or ongoing Cloud storage costs, plus access to data sources stored in the Caddie GIS database on Amazon Web Server.

'Caddie GIS helps you gain a more profound understanding of an area, and with it develop more sustainable, coherent, and appropriate solutions for that area, its community, and the infrastructure that serves it'

Simple to use

To make accessing data simple, Caddie GIS incorporates pre-defined links for accessing popular raster and vector data sources, including;

Google and Bing, Hybrid and Satellite mapping	OS Road Leisure, Outdoor and Light Mapping
OpenStreetMap Raster & Vector Mapping	Shape Files Read + GIS Query and Filtering

Data Layering, Filtering and Interrogation

Using Caddie GIS, you can select, switch and study multiple data sources simultaneously, layering information to create snapshots in, and narratives through time that are limited only by the data sources you include and how you choose to combine and present them.

Caddie GIS provides the tools you need to distil and interrogate your data too, enabling the easy identification, filtering and selection of GIS objects by individual or common property, as well as the presentation and write of non-geographic information to your drawings.

Total GIS-CAD Integration

Accessing and presenting GIS information is not new. However, the ability to be able to access, analyse, and present GIS data in a form completely integrated with the 2D CAD drawing and 3D CAD models that otherwise define a project delivers both GIS and CAD to a new level.

'Caddie GIS provides an unique solution, delivering seamless integration and presentation of GIS information with traditional CAD drawings and models in an intuitive and visually accessible way'

Caddie .DWG Architecture compatible training

At Caddie we understand that the key to successful implementation of the change to any new software is effective training. Training which not only addresses your needs as a user, and the type of work you do, but deals with them in terms you can understand and relate to rather, than just in computer jargon.

Our Caddie training courses are specifically designed to make learning Caddie easy, whether you are new to the package and using it for the first time, or wanting to develop your existing skills to increase your productivity even further. Each course breaks down the things you need to know into series of manageable exercises, and uses examples taken from real world situations to maintain relevance and make learning easier.

What’s more, class sizes are kept to an absolute minimum with each person normally having their own computer to work on for the duration of the course. This way you can be sure that you get off to the best possible start with Caddie, no matter what your prior knowledge or experience.

Quick Start Basic Caddie Course - 2 days

The perfect course for those new to Caddie, dealing with everything you need to know to get you drawing effectively. This course begins by introducing you to the basic concepts and principles of drawing, teaching you how to use Caddie’s flexible drafting tools to prepare surveys and create your own designs in plan, section and elevation.

You will learn how to make and edit blocks, incorporate hatches, colour fills, text, dimensions and even photographs within your drawings, all using simple to follow exercises. And once you have mastered the basics, we take you further into the system, showing you how to produce floor plans, detailed sections and elevations, using Caddie’s fantastically quick architectural tools; arranging and printing your drawings on your own title sheets..

Caddie Introduction to 3D - 1 day

For those wishing to develop their ideas in three-dimensions, this course provides the ideal start. Learn how to create 3D models quickly and easily using Caddie’s advanced 3D tools, convert your existing 2D drawings to 3D, even add life-like textures to your models to provide that extra sense of realism. And for when you need to go that extra mile, let us teach you how to create ‘walkthroughs’ to really sell your ideas.

Caddie Introduction to Caddie VIO - 1 day

Learn how to maximise the impact of your schemes by adding material textures to your models that reflect your real-life design choices, viewing them live in your drawings and enabling realistic snapshots from any angle or direction instantly.
