A powerful suite of applications extending LDT's capabalities




Contour Utilities
Features:

· Choose to generate up to 3 different contour layers

· Automatic generation of contour labels for designated layers

· User defined annotation spacing




Hidden boundaries by layer
The routine will automatically add boundary definitions to a surface based on polylines on a user selected layer.




Visibility / View Shed
This application is a must for the preparation of environmental impact statements. Useful for planning board meetings to present visual impact of proposed projects, as well an invaluable tool for evaluating sight distances at intersections and other critical points along a design.
Features:

· User defined viewing point

· 2D and 3D generation of view shed

· User definable sector

· Automatic generation of Boolean visibility surface



Sections
Features:
· Multiple Surfaces
· Long Sections (Profiles)
· Cross Sections
· User defined sampling intervals
· Automatic scaling based on LDD drawing scales
· Generation of volumes by cross sections between 2 surfaces including detailed report




Plot Grid Volumes

· Elevation Difference

· Existing elevation

· Proposed elevation

· Grid annotated with grid lines and labels

· Cut / Fill per grid cell

· ASCII report of volume calculations

· All annotation placed on appropriate layers for color coding and user customization







3D Landform Modeling tools
(includes: Poly UCS, Section to 3Dpoly, Section to Pointfile and Section to Breakline)
Suite of tools designed specifically with the land designer in mind, particular landscape architecture tasks. Allows for intuitive design of 3d polylines based on simple sections or profiles. The 3dpolylines generated may then be used as the basis for further generation of 3d land geometry and ultimately the definition of a design surface.
Features:

· Allows generation of 3dsections in any orientation

· Conversion of sections to real world space 3d polylines



Retaining wall design

Application to design retaining wall long sections, including foundation depths, and volume reports.
Features:
· Define plan location with standard LDD alignments
· Automatic sampling of 2 surfaces (upper and lower development)
· User defined sampling interval

· Automatic calculation of foundation depth based on user defined criteria

· Automatic calculation of volumes based on user defined criteria
