Pojects such as roads, channels, storage tanks, subdivisions, landscaping, rail studies, major pipelines, waste water reticulation and general site works are efficiently handled with 12d Model.

12d Model includes a powerful programming language which allows users to build their own options from 12dModel’s extensive programming library.

Features include intuitive screen menus, fast interactive graphics and a powerful programming language which allows users to customise the software to suit their own needs.

12d Model’s interactive capabilities provide the user with immediate feedback at every stage of the design process.

12d Model features data exchange with drainage and river analysis packages including Drains, ILSAX, PC Drain, RATHGL, HEC-RAS, Mike 11 and UNET, survey packages such as TP Setout as well as the CAD systems Intellicad, AutoCAD and Microstation.

12d Model has been specifically designed for easy use. It is ideal for use at all stages of projects, and is particularly useful for large route selection and corridor studies.

12d Model is an essential tool in today’s fiercely competitive business climate.

12d Model Checklist

• Integrated and graphically driven allowing an unlimited number of dynamically linked plan, section and perspective views to be displayed together on screen.
• Designed to use throughout the life of the project, from initial site investigation, concept and detailed design, through to construction and quality checks.
• Includes comprehensive inputs and outputs, undo and redo, and an integrated programming language for special tailoring.
• Available on Windows 2000, XP and Windows Vista.
• Modularised so that you only need purchase what you require.
• Uses double precision throughout for increased accuracy.

DTM Formation

• All necessary functions to produce a triangulated digital terrain model, including fast triangulation, contouring and sectioning routines. Breaklines are supported.
• Support of unlimited surfaces for representing ground, different strata, and water levels
• Slope, aspect, and viewshed analysis
• SuperTins to allow combined surfaces to be quickly generated and modified
• Dynamic corridor analysis on section views

Plotting

• Extensive plot parameters for tailoring plan, long section and cross section plots
• User-defined title blocks, linestyles, symbols and text styles
• Plot drawings directly to the plotter or output CAD systems such as IntelliCAD, AutoCAD dxf/dwg of Microstation dgn

Programming Language

• A powerful programming language is included to enable users to build their own options using 12d Model’s vast library of graphics and analysis commands or by defining their own routines.

Surveying

• Download from most instruments and convert to the 12d Model Field File ready for reduction
• Field pickup includes arcs, pipes and culverts. Field templates for road surveys
• Corrections to field data (typically mis-coding or mis-numbering of strings) are done on screen, and the correction written back to the 12d Field File. This provides an audit trail of the office work, and allows an UNDO facility to be provided
• Traverse adjustment by Transit, Crandall, Compass or Least Squares
• Zone to Zone and general conversions between Lat/Long and Universal Transverse Mercator projections
• Conversion between AGD datum and GDA datum using parameters or the NTv2 Grid
• Create and upload points, horizontal and vertical geometry and design sections for most instruments
• Seamless interface with TP Setout

Design and Construction

• String and template design methods for total flexibility for jobs from rural roads to multi-lane divided roads
• Support of unlimited alignments
• Production of fast earthwork quantities using end area and exact methods
• Special kerb return function for intersection and roundabout design
• Automatic display of service clashes on screen and on plots
• A recalculation facility to allow rapid redesign as modifications are made
• Support of drainage and sewer strings

Earthworks

• Calculate earthwork volumes using either end area or exact calculations
• Volumes can be calculated between a triangulation and a fixed height or between two triangulations
• Reports of cut and fill areas and volumes are given on a section-by-section basis using the end area method or on a depth basis using exact volumes
• Depth volumes can be colour-coded for validation and plots
• Calculate surface area, depth contours (isopachs) and the intersection of triangulations
• Slope, aspect and viewshed analysis including colour-coding for slope and aspect analysis
• Land use studies, landscaping, and other civil design tasks can benefit from this comprehensive suite of triangulation analysis options

Urban Drainage

• Create drainage networks on screen or by importing data from spread sheets
• Exports pit inlet capacities and bypass routes
• Define catchments
• Plot drainage long sections complete with hydraulic data
• Interfaces for Drains, ILSAX, MicroDrainage, PC Drain, RAT 2000, XP-SWMM, XP-UDD32

Rivers

• Create complete data sets for river design packages
• Automatically determine river levees
• Quickly and easily prepare flood innundation maps with depth contours and coloured by depth
• Plots river long sections and cross sections
• Prepare 3D images of your flood levels and flights down the river in AVI movie files
• Interfaces for HEC-RAS, Mike 11, UNET, XP SWMM
