Alignment Design

Alignment Design Services

The alignment design option enables horizontal and vertical profile designs to be combined in a single 3D alignment. It is this alignment for which other features can be designed.

The alignment design options give:

  • Dynamic alignment creation
  • Variety of transition types
  • Comprehensive geometric reporting
  • Snap to existing terrain features with clearance checking
  • Parallel alignment creation
  • Automatic curve and gradient optimization
  • Real-time 3D visualization of design changes
  • Integration with topographic and survey data
  • Precise control over elevation and slope parameters
  • Compatibility with road, rail, and pipeline design modules
  • Enhanced accuracy for construction layout and earthwork estimation

The ‘rubber banding’ dynamic placement and embedment of alignments speeds the creation of alignments and promotes creativity and investigation of alternative designs, leading to a better quality design.
