Carlson Software’s revolutionary Precision 3D platform combines the easy and delight of a completely 3D environment with the rigor and precision of sophisticated engineering tools. Much more than 3D just as a visualization tool, the software utilizes the newest technologies to allow users to easily combine data from a wide variety of sources to create high fidelity 3D surfaces (P3D Topo) and hydrology-related deliverables (P3D Hydro).
Carlson® Precision 3D - Topo
Surface Creation:
Create surfaces from point cloud data
No reduction for highest resolution
Grid Reduction for faster loading of large surfaces
Simplification
Create surfaces from imported points and polylines
Add points and breakline polylines to existing surfaces
Crop and merge surfaces
Surface Editing:
Real-time surface editing with dynamic contours
Unified calculate volumes command and includes new surface to surface volumes
Surfaces created or used as top surface display cut/fill volumes in properties window
Add/remove points
Add breaklines
Swap triangle edges
Remove triangles
Edit point elevation
Set point elevation from slope
Surface smoothing
Improve ridges and valleys
Remove dimples (small shallow spots)
Create PAD template surfaces for cut and fill
Simple texturing using polylines
Crop surfaces to polyline
Merge Surface
