Access doors, windows, furniture, people, cars, trees, and more for professional, detailed drawings. | SANS CalculationsAmend existing fenestration & lighting calculations. Apply amendments quickly, ensuring compliance with SANS standards and reducing manual errors. | OpeningsSmart Openings in Walls Insert Openings in solid and cavity walls with easy relocation and removal for faster editing | Features and DetailingAdd brick features and coursing Speed up elevation and section drawing adding brick bull's eye and coursing in seconds |
In addition to the above functionality, Caddie Budget DTM Includes:
Automatic generation of 3D pointsProduce a 3D model of your site from a 2D survey drawing in seconds, saving time and reducing transcription errors | Automatic 3D TIN generation from 3D pointsProduce a 3D TIN (Triangular Irregular Network) model of your site from 3D point height data as supplied by Promap with their DSM (surface) and DTM (terrain) mapping data | Site Levelling with volume change informationRevise your site model including any changes in level and get an instant readout of the volume difference to save time and reducing the need for manual calculation | Optimised cut and fillAutomatic calculation of optimum level for cut and fill schemes including soil type shrinkage factor to help reduce transport of material to and from site and minimize environmental impact |
Automatic generation of site sectionsCreate site sections in seconds, complete with section markers, reference heights and datum levels, saving hours of plotting points, transcribing information and reducing errors. If the site changes, simply regenerate the section in a couple of clicks. | Volume difference calculationAutomatic calculation of the volume difference between TIN models to help in the planning and costing of site re-modelling | Automatic generation of site contoursCreate site contour drawings in seconds, complete with major and minor contours and height labels to provide a 2D representation of 3D site make-up | Site Smoothing and DrapingAutomatic generation of a 'softened' 3D Mesh from a 3D TIN model to provide a more natural and smoothed site appearance. Map aerial photographs and other images onto your site models to bring the features of your site model 'to life' |
