Creating a tin and contours from survey data

Liam Callaghan

Is there a way to tin or create a dtm from survey points direct in Bricscad and then display it as contours?

We have a number of small jobs come in with survey points that I have to pull into 12d for tin and contour then issue back out to cad and it seems a lot of work.

If its not a function now any chance we can add it?

By "we" I mean the Bricscad development team of course

Cheers,

Liam

Try this link TIN from Theswamp. It is pretty robust with well formed data.

 Hello,

The plugin intelliMAP (www.intellimap.fr) , that we developp, has one function which can do that (DTM + countourlines). But it's a commercial product with lots of other surveying and GIS functions.

If you are interested on it you can ask to me for more information.

Best regards.

Etienne.

 Liam I'm curious why not just model in 12D.

I gather you have 12D. 

12D is robust and once in their format options for future manipulation, design etc are always available. 

I do all my modelling in survey software then import into BricsCad.

I might be speaking to the converted here so pardon any butting in. 

I'd be nice to have a robust application for modelling and design with volumes, sections etc at a reasonable price for BricsCad.

Etienne is that available in English please?
I'd be interested to see what it does.

 Thanks guys I'll have a look at the links and intellimap

I do have 12d Richard and its awesome!  Unfortunately we only have 2 licenses for 12d and only 2 users but a few more team members running smaller jobs.  They are more than capable of processing it but seems a shame they have to stop work and wait for one of us to do it.

Be nice to have more 12d users and I think we'll head that way but its a large expense for a small company.

Check out the store. There are several options, most are part of bigger solutions.

Advanced Road Design, CGS Software, Dotsoft, Plateia, include DTM and contouring capabilities in English. I know there are more ...
