ZWCAD Civil Roads allows roads planning and design, earthworks design and calculation, and all-inclusive surveying and treatment of upper and underground infrastructure. The software combines powerful design options, accurate and high-speed results, and supreme usability setting new standards for roads engineers worldwide.
Roads contractors, earthworks and land development contractors which are using the software, acknowledge ZWCAD Civil Roads as their primary tool for getting the job done.
ZWCAD Civil Roads Features:
Horizontal and Vertical Alignment Design
Changes made to certain segments of the road’s alignment geometry are reflected in the vertical alignment
Automatic highlight of the cut-fill transition point in horizontal alignment
Sub layers associated with existing, structure and design layers are differentiated and displayed according to the defined material and thickness
Unique and advanced visibility evaluation mechanism with export and reporting capabilities
Ability to attach a ditch to an offset reference-line in the cross section
Automatic alert and delete mechanism of an overlapping area between two topography surfaces
Ability to automatically create frequent backups of the project revisions with quick restore capabilities
Ability to extend existing road design using automatically obtainable parameters
Automatic road segments selection
Visual indication of cut-fill minimum and maximum extents
