Foresight CDS - Standard Alone, Civil Design & Survey System

Model:

Terrain Modeling with Contours and Volumes. Interpolate Sections across any Model. Shade models by height and slope. 'Blend' models to create 'as-built' model simply.

Road:

Design Roads. whether rural, urban, or highways using either section templates or design strings. Also used for other regular structures such as airfields, channels, conveyors, railways etc.

# CDS New UI features
Windows ribbon based user interface with docking windows as necessary.
All the menu items have an associated bitmap.
Bitmaps are bigger than the old menu item and makes it easier to select.
It makes the program usable in the field on a tablet.
Many of the display options are now one click.
In the office we have a QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) across the top.
Bump maps when displaying triangle colors by height gives a
realistic 3D effect.
Tributaries show how water runs across a surface and
helps you understand the surface better.
