2 4ce Professioal Fact Sheet Applicatios i CADD Cliet Templates, Drawig Templates ad Bitmap Images Whe opeig a ew Project a set of master defaults is copied ito the Project. Ay chages to default settigs relate to that Project uless the user elects to save them. Cliet Templates are empty Projects that cotai their ow set of defaults. These ca relate to jobs or cliets. Drawig Templates are pre-defied Drawigs (sheets of paper) with Title Box details ad possibly User Notes. Bitmap images ca be itroduced to Drawigs, icludig compay logos ad digital photography. OS Ladlie TM & User Defied DXF Filters ad Mastermap TM Imports OS Superpla TM DXF Filter Title Box with Bitmaps 4ce Professioal allows the import of OS DXF files i Ladlie ad Superpla data formats. These files have predefied layer ames, colours ad lie styles, which ca be chaged usig a filter. Uwated layers ca be filtered out ad/or give appropriate ames. Elemet colours ad style ca also be chaged. Other similar user defied filters ca be created for DXF data comig from favourite cliets. The OS are ow supplyig their data i a GIS Mastermap TM file format. 4ce will filter out the relevat vector data. Advaced CAD ad Backcloths Data used i 4ce ca come from a umber of sources ad ca the be combied to make up a composite picture. These secodary images, called Backcloths, may be a combiatio of CAD, Models, Aerial Photos or Aligmets, ad are especially useful whe creatig desigs, or extractig poits from CAD data. A Dedicated CAD Backcloth is attached to each Model ad accessed usig the Pecil Ico. This is where Tables, Tadpoles, Hatchig, Dimesioig, Curve Fitted Cotours ad Committed Model elemets will be stored. See the Tools meu opposite. Tools Meu - Dedicated CAD Backcloth Optios With CAD ad Model Backcloths, Lock Modes are available, allowig you to sap to Backcloth detail. 4ce Professioal icludes exteded CAD optios over the Lite editio, Poits from CAD CAD Backcloths are used i the extractio of poits from CAD data. CAD data ca be imported from exteral files or created with 4ce s ow CAD editor. Detail ca be isolated by turig Layers O/Off ad idividually selected or withi a rectagle, usig the Pick Optios. List Pick optio is also available. The process fids odes alog polylies, cetres of circles, eds of arcs, at symbol origis or from text. This latter optio is particularly useful if you have bee supplied with a 2D DXF file. Heights ca be as assiged by the CAD elemet, etered maually, dropped oto a DTM or i the case of Text, take from the text value itself. Additioal poits ca be iterpolated alog strigs. I the special case whe idividual lie segmets form a multi-segmet lie, as opposed to a polylies, duplicate poits may be created ad filtered out. Codes ca be take from layer ames.

3 4ce Professioal Fact Sheet Applicatios i CADD Modellig with Text, Poits ad Features 4ce has a umber of tools that will make editig surveys ad models less erroeous ad time cosumig. These tools maily relate to Poit ad Feature hadlig ad iclude Isert, Move ad Delete Poits; Close, Gap, Break, Split, Exted, Itersectios ad Cut Back Lies. Dimesios ad Tables 4ce ca hold additioal poit attributes, ormally i the form of umeric data, called Dimesios. These ca be user geerated or created by 4ce, ie. Chaiages ca appear i reports or plotted i Tables, as show below. List is used here. These optios work o existig poits ad features addig Comma Codes, where ecessary. Ay chages made graphically will be see i the Cotrol Grid where edits ca also be made, if more appropriate. Table of Chaiage Details Poit Sap ad Average Fuctios A Sap optio allows you to move selected poits to aother. Average allows you to replace selected poits with a sigle poit. Offsets from this poit are give i both cases ad ca be see i a dialog box. Poit Sappig 2D Trasformatios There may be occasios were you will eed to covert your arbitrary adopted coordiate system to aother, like the Natioal Grid. Feature Edit Meu List ad Pick Optios Aother power tool called, Select List, allows you to tag poits usig various criteria. This tool is available i both the Cotrol Grid ad Graphics ad works i cojuctio with the Pick optio. List Pick is i both CAD ad Models. With the Pick optio set to List, oly the poits o the List will be affected. Text Hadlig A automatic Height Text Filter uses priority weightig to remove overlappig height text. Further editig tools are available for Movig, Flippig, Deletig ad Rotatig Aotatio. Text ca be reset or recovered, if deleted. Trasformatio Dialog Box Two poit or multi poit Least Squares Helmhert optios are available with trasformatios beig saved so that they ca be applied to aother data folders i the project icludig Statios, CAD ad Models.

4 4ce Professioal Fact Sheet Applicatios i CADD Advaced DTM Editig ad Volumes The 4ce Professioal editio has exteded DTM editig optios, icludig Delete, Isert ad Force optios. Before The Force Feature show above allows you to stitch ew features ito a DTM. A Force Lie optio creates ew break lies, where lie features may be missig. Other useful optios are Apex Raise, Remove ad Iclude, with automatic reformig of the DTM aroud poits. The Isert optios allow you to maually stitch idividual poits ito a DTM. Model Creatio Optios allow you to Create, Copy ad Merge Models. After DTM Edit Meu otice Ico Optios Model Creatio Optios The Merge optio cuts model A ito model B to create a third model C. Poits uderlyig the merge model will be replaced ad its DTM stitched ito the base model, as show opposite. A Isopachytes optio allows you to create a height differece DTM. If you have a DXF CAD file with triagular facets these ca be read directly ito a model. Additioal Volume optios are available icludig Sectios ad Cotours. Group Depths ca provide Formatio Quatities. Mergig Models ad Templates Profiles Surface Desig Fuctios 4ce Professioal itroduces optios to create ew desigs usig tools like bech ad batter ad Templates. Backcloths ad copy optios are very useful here. I the example show left, a batter strig was geerated from a referece base strig. The dialog box allows you to set the Batter Slope, the closig Referece Surface, Code ad a Fa Agle for smoothig corers. Faig Batter Slopes o Corers Profile Template Profile Templates ca be created, as show above, ad swept alog a referece feature geeratig parallel strigs. Exteral batter strigs ca be projected to a referece DTM. AiC Ltd. reserve the right to chage the specificatios without otice. 4

5 4ce Professioal Fact Sheet Applicatios i CADD Sectios There are a umber of additioal optios for takig ad plottig sectios. Multi Profile Sectio Plot Sectios Meu CAD editig tools o plotted sectios are provided with 4ce Professioal icludig bedig drop lies, slope arrows, user defied profiles with maual labellig. Normal CAD tools are also available like hatchig. A special applicatio has bee developed for River Sectios. Here, sectios will be created directly from coded strigs, without the eed for a DTM. Each sectio will have a uique strig umber ad two base lie poits for referece. Structures like pipe ad bridge abutmets ca be projected oto these base lies to geerate a log sectio. Exports are available i Hec-Ras ad AiC s ow TRS format. A separate Excel VBA add-i imports these TRS files for further display, edits ad export optios. Sectio plottig ad editig takes o aother dimesio, with optios to add slope arrows, editig drop lies ad more. Multi or sigle plottig is available with River Sectios, Cross-Sectios ad Radial Sectios. Automatic removal of overlappig drop lie text is also possible. Sectios ca appear i CAD (Model) or Drawigs (Paper). A special optio allows Radial sectios to be used to plot Lies of Sight that ca be super-imposed oto a DTM ad aerial photography for Visibility Aalysis. The red lies idicate blocked lies of sight, whist light gree shows the clear lies of sight. Multi-Plottig with River Sectios AiC Ltd. reserve the right to chage the specificatios without otice. 5 Radial Sectio used I Visibility Aalysis

6 4ce Professioal Fact Sheet Applicatios i CADD Advaced 3D Viewig The 4ce Professioal editio has added optios for viewig Models i 3D. Multiple models ca be viewed i 3D, with a cut-i feature allowig a merge of models with oe model beig forced ito the foregroud. A mixture of wire frame ad ormal reder, as show opposite, allows two or more models to be viewed together. As each model may be roughly at the same level, models ca be give a false offset so that they may be viewed apart. Break Lies, Cotours ad a Sectio Grid ca be superimposed o the model surface. A grid referece ad Height Map for height redered images gives scale to these images. A exaggerated height scale ca be provided to elarge the 3 rd dimesio. Iteractive 3D Viewer Whilst 4ce ca hadle mass data there are situatios where the data format is used to aid storage. This is particularly beeficial with Lidar ad OS Profile Gridded data. With these data sets, iterestig 3D visuals ca be created, icludig the additio of aerial photography, which ca be draped over the Model, as show opposite. This model also has a proposed developmet super-imposed for impact studies. For more dyamic presetatios, data ca be exported to Criterio 4D for VR fly throughs. Photo Realism with Lidar 3D Viewig Partitios ad Key Plas Whe projects stretch over a umber of drawig sheets, or whe zoomig ito a survey with View Ports, it may be difficult to see where exactly a Drawig is beig created. A facility i 4ce Professioal allows the automatic creatio of Drawigs by splittig up a model ito Sheets, called Partitios. A Key Pla showig Partitios is show opposite. If chages are made to ay part of the Project, these Partitios are automatically updated. If the positio or sizig of the View Port i the Partitio is chaged i the Drawig, the Key Pla will be updated.
