Maysville, Kentucky, USA (September 2019)— Carlson’s latest release of Civil and Hydrology 2020 brings intuitive UI upgrades that provide a more dynamic work experience along with advanced new features including improved surface model and pipe network design.
The upgraded TIN creation and editing utilities are now much more dynamic in their operation. Users can easily make edits with the upgraded Triangulation Surface Manager, track those changes, and apply them when new data is entered. With improved entity linking, points and breaklines automatically update the TIN when modified manually or from Field to Finish.
Triangulation Utilities such as Crop, Cut, Smooth, Simplify, Clean, and the new Carlson Surface Object are designed to work on large surfaces such as those from Point Clouds.
Site Design tools such as the new Draw Template Polylines for creating curbs and the updated Edit-Assign Polyline Elevations greatly improve the efficiency of designing and creating a 3D model.
Dynamic Labels for 3D points, slopes, and polyline vertexes make editing a plan much quicker and easier.
New specific commands for creating parking areas, enhanced curb ramps, and polyline tools aid in parking lot designs.
The Hydrology module offers expanded support for HEC-RAS, EPA SWMM, and SCS routing. There are also enhancements to Culvert Design, Orifice Design, Chanel Lining Analysis, and the Spread Sheet editor, plus more reporting and advancements in utility line Collision Conflict Checking.
Existing users will also be very happy with the new simplified pipe network database that reduces the need for supplemental reference files.
Carlson Civil and Hydrology together with Carlson Survey and Carlson GIS make up the Carlson Civil Suite (carlsonsw.com/civilsuite), which was recently ranked highest for product quality, support, price fairness, and technological leadership in a recently Clear Seas poll.
