12d Model Version 5.0 rolls out
Announcement posted by 12D Solutions 15 Jun 2001
The initial roll-out of 4D Solutions Australian-developed civil and surveying software, 12d Model Version 5.0, is all but complete with the product being demonstrated at seminars countrywide.
4D Solutions Managing Director Dr Lee Gregory reports that the new product, incorporating significant enhancements for surveyors and civil designers, has been well received.
12d Model was previously known as 4d Model which was used widely throughout Australia. The softwares name was changed last December to maintain consistency and name recognition, following 4d Models European roll-out as 12d Model. The new name is also indicative of the breadth of features the new Version 5.0 introduces.
12d is a very powerful and yet highly usable survey package, says independent valuer Noel Burton. With a solid existing user base in design and the enthusiasm of the 4D Solutions staff to incorporate new features into the survey software, 12d has a promising future with both Australian and overseas surveyors.
Version 5.0 enhancements include a new Graphical Field File Editor, field templates for quick road pickup, pipe and attribute data capture and display, continual upgrading of the integration with various field data recorders, AMG<->MGA, Zone to Zone and traverse adjustment.
New features streamlining civil engineering applications include the use of raster (orthophoto) images, dynamic zoom and pan, true-type fonts, new text options, flip triangles, colouring by depth and height ranges between surfaces, volumes by height ranges, DWG I/O, and online help.
The upgrade also provides comprehensive support for drainage packages such as PC Drain, Drains, RAT2000, RAT HGL, Microdrainage and ILSAX. Support for HEC RAS, Mike11, XPSWMM, UNET and ISIS is also incorporated.
