String-based Modeling for Road and Highway Design


Advantages
Rapid, Accurate Design of All Road Types in 3D
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 an extensive library of road styles, the ability to design and dynamically re-grade junctions and roundabouts plus built-in rules for fast and efficient application of superelevation.

By designing your road completely in 3D, the included surface analysis tools allow engineers and designers to identify and correct potential problems during the design phase rather than incur the high cost of re-work on site.

No CAD Required!
MXROAD runs on the most popular CAD platforms, but the Stand-Alone version provides fully functional, high quality CAD tools built in. Eliminating the need for an additional CAD environment or package, users can Reference CAD files “on the fly” including DGN’s, DWG’s and raster images, Save As a DGN or DWG or publish designs to 2D and 3D Adobe PDF formats, all from the stand-alone version.
You can do it all and never leave MX!

Full Alignment Design Capability
MXROAD includes multiple alignment design methods, ranging from the ability to create alignments directly from CAD elements, dynamic “rubber-banding” with on-the-fly volumetrics, to highly advanced tools for interactive alignment creation to local standards.

Comprehensive geometric reports are available at every step of the process, making the optimization of cut and fill percentages and therefore exploration of different design scenario’s, a simple process. Ultimately saving the user time, money and resulting in a better design.

Proven Technology
MXROAD employs proven technology, representing more than 30 years of civil engineering design know how. Software tools such as MX Command Language and Input Files use simple, repeatable commands that can be recorded and replayed using Wizards.

Unique to the MXROAD product family, Input Files save time when exploring different design scenarios and iterations, enabling new designs to be quickly and easily created, bringing a new level of productivity and competitiveness to your design office.

Native DGN and DWG Support
MXROAD enables you to work natively with DGN or DWG files and put an end to the wasted time and effort involved in importing and exporting between file formats.

With direct PDF and Google Earth publishing capabilities, MXROAD facilitates design sharing with all stakeholders. Never let file format issues impact your personal productivity again!
