Office Software

Newly released, Carlson Civil 2017 provides enhanced Civil features and support for AutoCAD® 2017 and the upgraded IntelliCAD®8.2. Carlson Civil is a complete civil engineering software.

Joining past focus on 3D features and enhanced collaboration options are a new Cut/Fill Movement Analysis command, which allows users to compare two surfaces and determine the optimized cut and fill for the site and provides reports by the distance moved, allowing users to analyze which equipment to use, such as dozers for shorter distances, shovel and trucks for longer distances.
Another top enhancement in Carlson Civil 2017 is the ability to create a curb ramp out of 3D polylines – the program adjusts the polylines to fit in the ramp to your specifications.

Carlson Software’s Civil Suite is a powerful bundle made up of: Carlson Survey, Carlson Civil, Carlson Hydrology, and Carlson GIS. These four civil-related modular programs, working together, will allow you to create all of your deliverables at a fraction of the long-term costs of other software providers.

Carlson Software Investigations (CSI) is designed with powerful forensic diagramming capabilities to measure and map crime scenes and traffic accidents. CSI is ideal for city and county police departments, State Police and consulting firms engaged in accident reconstruction.

Use Carlson Geology to manage drillhole data, plus calculate strata models, block models, quantities and qualities. The process from importing drillholes, validating the data and modeling the ore to reserve calculations is seamless.

Utilize correlated and validated drillhole data to generate isopach maps complete with custom colors and naming. Supports all the major geological modeling techniques, including triangulation, inverse distance, Kriging, polynomial and least squares. Calculate the reserves for each pit and bench instantly with the 3D Surface History and play it back in real time with 3D mine simulations.

With tools for data capture and linking, data labeling, import/export of SHP files, polygon topology creation and analysis, and more, Carlson GIS is an awesome GIS “Swiss Army Knife” for the surveyor or engineer.

The Carlson Surface Mining module enables users to find the most efficient mine design by testing layouts in plan, section and 3D view.
Accurately schedule and monitor your mine with Carlson’s color-coding that highlights your production timing and statistics, calendars that explore “what if?” scenarios, calendars to monitor equipment usage, plus the ability to base timing on calendar periods or tonnages or on volumes of overburden.

New, multiple slope groups are now easy to define for all pit blocks globally with symbols for different slope and bench templates on different sides. You can now cut through the benches whether working from the top down or the bottom up with automatic ramp building.

Carlson Survey is designed for use for land surveying. It provides a full toolkit for surveyors with everything from network least squares to surface modeling. Users get the ability to work seamlessly between the office and the field and they can establish company-wide design styles to ease and speed their work.

Survey GNSS post-processing software is a reliable and precise tool for all post-processing applications and is tightly integrated into the Carlson field and office workflow.

In keeping with the Carlson hallmark of interoperability with the greatest amount of GNSS hardware, SurveyGNSS is designed to accept GNSS data from any receiver in RINEX format. Furthermore, it will also accept proprietary GNSS data in an increasing number of manufacturer formats including NovAtel, Hemisphere GNSS, Altus/Septentrio, and Javad. Additional manufacturer formats will be added in concert with manufacturer cooperation and customer demand.

Take your designs from 2D to 3D in just a few minutes! An easy-(and fun)-to-use tool to enhance presentations, Carlson TerraVision is Carlson’s newest offering for civil engineering and survey professionals.

Carlson TerraVision enables users to go from a 2D line drawing to a 3D presentation complete with realistic paving and vegetation textures, trees and greenery, figures, buildings, vehicles, and heavy equipment. The finished depicting can also feature accurate shadowing depending on time-of-day selected.

Create complete mine projections and ventilations in minutes vs. hours with all the tools needed for precise design and scheduling.
The Carlson Underground Mining module enables users to individualize their design with:

- Choice of pillar designation and preferred method of locating pillars and rib lines
- Ability to choose ventilation directions including automatically placing stops, man-doors and escape ways
- Option to enter mine survey notes by azimuth or in a spreadsheet-type dialog
- Use of full array of mine symbols from the Mine Symbol Library or ability to define your own to create the final map

Surveying also means the ability to handle information and data from the field and office in a flexible way and – as far as possible – from anywhere with fast accessibility and seamless data transfer. Today and more than ever before, you also need to rely on a seamless workflow in all your projects. To fulfill this need, we have developed Leica Infinity: a user-friendly, intelligent software platform with intelligent information architecture that opens up previously un-imagined possibilities within many aspects of your workflow. More efficiency, greater transparency and simply better.

Leica MultiWorx for AutoCAD is for point cloud processing newcomers using Leica Nova MS60 MultiStation's integrated laser scanning capability. This plug-in for AutoCAD and Civil 3D lets drafters and designers work with rich, 3D point clouds in a familiar CAD environment. It also provides simpler and more powerful tools for navigating point clouds and creating deliverables than native CAD capabilities.

MicroSurvey Point Prep is an easy to use desktop program designed specifically for construction layout and MEP contractors. Point Prep will help you prepare all of the field data you’ll need on a job site before leaving the office.

Open AutoCAD DWG and DXF files with Point Prep and use the many built-in tools to help you hide or eliminate unnecessary data. Point Prep makes it easy to create coordinates, input plan data from paper plans, create point patterns, compute offset points, create DTM models and prepare as-built drawings.

MicroSurvey STAR*NET 8 is an easy-to-use Windows application that adjusts 2D/3D survey networks using rigorous Least Squares techniques.

STAR*NET handles networks containing conventional observations combined with GPS vectors, with up to 10,000 adjustable stations. Differential leveling observations can also be included within a 3D adjustment. Whether a survey consists of a single-loop traverse or a complex network of interconnecting traverses, all observations are adjusted simultaneously to produce a single best-fit solution. STAR*NET can reduce observations to NAD27, NAD83 or UTM with separate grid factors calculated for all distances and t-T corrections calculated for all angles.
