Description
OpenRoads Designer offers a holistic modeling environment aimed at enhancing construction-driven engineering, which in turn accelerates the delivery of road network projects by seamlessly integrating design and construction processes from initial concept through to final completion. This innovative application boasts comprehensive design capabilities that encompass surveying, drainage, subsurface utilities, and roadway design, effectively replacing all previous functionalities found in InRoads, GEOPAK, MX, and PowerCivil. By redefining the best practices for generating design and construction deliverables, OpenRoads Designer facilitates smooth data exchange across the entire project delivery and asset lifecycle. Additionally, users can swiftly compile context data from multiple sources, including traditional surveys, point clouds, 3D reality meshes, terrain information, images, and geospatial data, thereby enriching their project with authentic real-world contexts. This capability not only enhances design accuracy but also improves collaboration among project stakeholders throughout the development process.
Description
What used to take hours of manual imagery imports, screenshots, and per-pixel alignment now takes minutes. Plex-Earth pulls satellite and aerial imagery straight into AutoCAD, fully georeferenced, so engineers can skip the guesswork and get to designing.
Choose from basemap providers like Google Maps, Google Elevations, Azure, and OpenStreetMap, add custom WMS/WMTS connections, or tap into premium providers such as Nearmap, Vexcel, Hexagon, Airbus, and Vantor. Every mosaic tile is individually georeferenced for precision, a feature unique to Plex-Earth.
For terrain, you can generate contours in seconds, run slope and aspect analysis, calculate cut and fill, or bring in GeoTIFFs and premium DTM/DSM data. Two-way KML functionality moves data between AutoCAD and Google Earth without file juggling.
Compatible with AutoCAD 2020–2027, Civil 3D, Map 3D, and BricsCAD.
