Carlson Survey 2008

Surveyors will use the point-based CAD/COGO commands extensively, since it has more of them than any other product available today. Add the one-step contouring, volume calculation, profiling and construction stakeout features built into this innovative product, and surveyors can do all their mapping and construction stakeout -- from start to finish -- without having to resort to using any other software.

LotNet

Quickly define an entire subdivision of lots based on an outer boundary, interior ROW's or centerlines and a simple set of user-defined rules for lot area, minimum setbacks, frontage and other key parameters.

RoadNet

Lay out a network of intersecting roads and clean up all intersections and cul-de-sacs, horizontal AND vertical, with a single click of the "Process" button. If it's not quite right you can easily add or remove roads, cul-de-sacs or roundabouts. Changing the vertical alignment of a road will automatically update all other roads in the network impacted by the change. You can also elevate all adjacent lot lines and/or internal pads based on the elevation of a selected feature of the road, like the edge of pavement.

StormNet

Full 3D road and lot design feeds directly into flow calculations and drainage design - thisis the end of hand entry of runoff coefficients and guessing-game calculations of flows over surfaces. Complex calculations of surface flows are integrated with the precise DTMs inside an AutoCAD® drawing.

Tap extensive libraries on rainfall, inlets, manholes, outlets
Calculate inlet intercepted and bypass flows, gutter spread and depth, pipe flow depth and velocity, and hydraulic and energy grade lines
Get warnings for collisions, excessive pipe lengths, insufficient cover, lack of slope, excessive flow rates, and more
Track runoff and analyze watershed - choose entire area or the watershed above a point such as a catch basin
Design ponds, culverts, channels and outlets
Draft sewer pipe dynamically in plans, profiles and 3D

SiteNet

Simply define which drawing layers represent existing conditions and which layers represent proposed design and SiteNet generates each surface and calculates volumes. Apply special treatments such as topsoil stripping and placement and subgrade excavations by using closed polylines. And, new to 2008, you can apply grading rules to balance your cut and fill.

With Carlson Software you can:

Pay considerably less than you woud pay for other civil/survey software on the market
Work with any AutoCAD® product- Release 2000 or newer
Avoid the cost of upgrading your computers and other hardware
Design and grade a network of roads in minutes-including fine grading intersections and cul-de-sacs
Generate automatic 2d and 3d linework from survey data
Automate lot layout based on lot sizes AND setbacks - lots, labels & setbacks update when the road does!
Create a proposed surface model from nothing but spot elevations and polylines
Design ponds, culverts, channels and outlets and then draft pipes dynamically in plans, profiles and 3D

All of this... And FREE technical support from the home office!
