String-based Modeling for Road and Highway Design


Features
At its core, MXROAD uses 3D string modeling technology – a proven, powerful and concise method of creating any 3D surface. Localised to many country standards MXROAD includes for:

Data Interoperability

  • Seamless integration between CAD platforms – in both DGN and DWG environments
  • Ability to import data from almost any source including Land XML
  • Referencing of CAD files “on the fly” including multiple formats or Raster images
  • Available as a Stand-Alone environment with high quality, fully functional CAD tools built-in
  • Save as DGN and DWG
  • Publish to 2D and 3D Adobe PDF format

Alignment Design

  • Dynamic, advanced tools for interactive alignment creation
  • Variety of transition types to most international standards
  • Comprehensive geometric reporting, including “on the fly” volumetrics to allow optimisation of cut and fill percentages
  • Ability to snap to existing terrain features with clearance checking
  • Parallel alignment creation
  • Creation of alignments directly from CAD elements

Road Design

  • Library of standard road styles to many standards
  • Ability to widen roads using linear or reverse curves, controlling gradients throughout
  • Built-in rules for fast and efficient application of superelevation
  • Junction and roundabout design in 3D with the ability to dynamically re-grade kerb returns
  • Storage of different road styles and modeling of pavement construction

Interactive Design Editing

  • 3D design data editing via cross sections at individual or over a range of chainages / stations
  • Ability to edit section elements by slope or push out points, updating cross section and plan views simultaneously
  • Rapid design through the ability to restrict design to pre-defined boundaries (e.g. right-of-way limits)

Quantities and Reports

  • Quantities Manager providing automatic extraction of quantities for estimating
  • Dynamic Reports provide access to a wide range of reporting options from an expanding toolbar
  • User-definable horizontal and vertical alignment geometry reports
  • Ability to create reports from Volumetric Analysis tool for calculating cut and fill areas and volumes

Earthworks Design

  • Ability to design any engineering earthworks strategy applicable to any geological condition and to any standard
  • Intuitive, easy to us graphical user interface allowing you to drag and drop styles to define complex, custom cut/fill strategies
  • Storage of strategies in a library of simple, multiple and combination slopes, including a thumbnail preview for easy review

Google Earth Integration

  • Publish MX models to KML or KMZ files
  • Share, open and view data in Google Earth
  • Publish Saved Views from MX to the Google Earth environment
  • Add 2D drawings and other high resolution overlays
  • Augment imagery with Digital Terrain Mapping (DTM)

Integration with Bentley Content Management and Publishing Solutions

  • Tight integration wit Bentley content management and publishing solutions to bring collaborative design data to the entire project team in a secure environment
  • Integration of Digital Interplot at the production end, enabling automated plot set generation and Web-based access to plot archives
