composite surface without ever having to do any work
to merge the surfaces.
This means there are no steps required to merge
surfaces, thereby saving time and reducing errors.
Also, if any surface of the SuperTin™ is modified, the
SuperTin™ is also instantly updated.
This means even further time saving and reduction of
errors.
The SuperTin™ can be used in any 12d® Model™
option where a normal surface is used.
Massive Data Sets? No Problem!
Today, with various forms of data collection available
(such as LIDAR and laser scanners,) organisations are
working with larger data sets than ever before.
In response to this, 12d® Solutions has created a
purpose-built 64-bit version, which utilises the full
power of 64-bit technology. This has allowed users to
load up to 250 million data points into a single project.
Clients requiring this capability for projects such as
flood risk assessments and large reclamation projects
have found it to be invaluable for saving them time and
therefore money.
12d®Model™ is a standalone program designed with a
civil engineering database. From the powerful 3D
database to the user interface, it has been developed
by 12d®Solutions to create a fast, stable and
integrated solution for the civil engineering, surveying
and construction industries.
From the start, operators can enjoy ease of use and a
short learning curve.
Our users are highly involved in shaping 12d®, and
we encourage feedback to enhance the product to
meet their needs.
3D String Based Design
Since inception, 12d® Model™ has been developed as
a 3D string based civil package.
12d®’s dynamic user interface caters for everyone
from designer to manager. Any combination of Plan,
Section and Perspective views gives the user
complete control of how the design data is displayed.
Users can control the number, size and configuration
of plan, section and perspective views.
Rapid Processing Power
At the heart of 12d®Model™ is the fast triangulation
and computation engine.
Processing millions of points takes seconds, not
minutes or hours.
This results in:
• Efficient triangulation operations
• Increased speed for all volume calculations
• Instantaneous surface analysis including cross
Why Choose 12d®? 12d®Model™ was specifically created for the civil engineering industry. It is a user-friendly, efficient tool that suits the needs of industry leading professionals and companies. It is now being used in over 60 countries.
independent horizontal and vertical geometry and are
created and edited interactively on plan and section
views.
The base includes ability to do simple road and rail
designs, building platforms, storage ponds, dams and
canals while the Detailed Alignment Design module is
available for more complex work. When adjustments
are made to the strings or templates, a simple recalc
facility automatically removes redundant information
and replaces it with the updated geometry and
volumes. This is particularly useful when many trials
are needed to determine the best position for the final
design.
Three types of views – plan, section and perspective –
can be created by the user for examining, constructing
and editing information. All views are automatically
linked so that data can be viewed and manipulated
using more than one view. The 12d®Model™ section
view extends the concept of a section to include a
corridor either side of the string being profiled. Any
strings in the corridor can be displayed in the section
view. Hence potential clashes between the profile
string and utilities are easy to detect. The
12d®Model™ ‘super string’ provides a simple tool for
3d modelling of utilities such as telephone lines,
electricity cables, gas lines and water pipes.
Base Product The 12d®Model™ base product contains all the options necessary to produce a digital terrain model (DTM or TIN), including fast triangulation, contouring and sectioning routines. It is graphically interactive to give immediate feedback to the user.
A powerful object-based programming language is
included in the base product. With this language, users
can build their own options using 12d®Model™’s vast
Grids. These include converting between AMG/ISG co
-ordinates and MGA co-ordinates for Australia and
converting between old and new Circuits for New
Zealand.
Elevation (height) adjustments including a simple
constant, user defined planes or difference surfaces.
Setout points, triangulations, centre line alignments
and design cross sections can be created and
uploaded to Total Stations and GPS controllers.
12d®Model™ provides seamless interface with TP
Setout and TP Stakeout and full support for Trimble
Link.
A full suite of COGO functions is included.
Complete plan drawings including line styles, symbols,
hatching and title blocks can be produced. Extensive
drafting operations are available so a separate CAD
system is not required.
Raw data from survey instruments is downloaded by
12d®Model™ or read from a PC Card and converted
to 12d®Model™’s ‘Field File’, ready for reduction.
During reduction, a mapping file is used to apply line
styles and symbols, colors and line weights, and to
separate the data into models (layers), all based on
your field coding.
Field data is automatically ‘strung’ based on field
codes. Coding by Field Templates is supported,
allowing dramatic increases in field productivity for
string based surveys.
Field pickup includes arcs, pipes and culverts.
Corrections to field data (typically mis-coding or mis-
numbering of strings) are done on screen, and the
corrections are written back to the Field File. This
provides an audit trail of the office work, and allows an
UNDO facility to be provided. The original
observations are always available.
12d® includes both solar and star reductions without
requiring almanac details.
Geodetic calculations include interactive reporting of
longitude and latitude, Easting and Northing,
projection bearing and distance, and ellipsoid
distance. Full geodetic calculations are available in
reduction.
Traverse adjustment by Transit, Bowditch, Crandall,
Compass or Least Squares.
Zone to Zone and general conversions between
Latitude/Longitude and Universal Transverse Mercator
(UTM) projections, Transverse Mercator and most
other projections.
Survey With the Survey module, users are able to reduce survey data, apply adjustments and transformations, create and label subdivision (estate) lots, create traverse spreadsheets, and create and upload setout data.
with the same software that is used in the office to
design and finalise projects.
Site needs have continually been added to the
functionality of the product, providing a solution that
has evolved from the industry itself.
How Does 12d® Field Work?
12d® Field communicates directly
from the tablet with survey grade
GPS units and Total Station
instruments.
12d® connects to the instruments via:
Surveyed data is displayed live on screen in
conjunction with 12d®Model™’s complete civil
engineering and surveying software solution.
A Tool Specifically Designed By
Surveyors…
12d® Field includes two key features: Pickup and
Setout.
12d® Field Pickup provides the ultimate approach for
surveyed data collection.12d®’s unique hierarchical
attribute method with simple-to-manage coding,
templating and live functionality gives the user
12d® Field 12d® Field gives Surveyors and Engineers the ability to use the full functionality of 12d®Model™ on small daylight-readable tablets and notebooks in the field.
complete control of the project and output, from the
field.
12d® Field Setout has been developed to enable
surveyors and engineers to set out (using both GPS
and TPS instruments) for construction projects.
Options include point setout, string setout, batter
setout, tin setout, grid setout, tunnel setout, crossfall
setout and basic pickup.
Interaction & Flexibility
In both Pickup and Setout, information is displayed
live as it is surveyed.
This, combined with the ability to simultaneously
display detailed design and existing data, ensures
total control and flexibility through 12d®’s interactive
plan, section, and perspective views.
Survey instrument control and enhanced data flow in
12d® Field add to the existing power and functionality
of 12d®Model™ to create an invaluable tool for
productivity and information management.
Surveyors & Engineers - On The
Same Page!
Now all professionals on a construction site can work
volumes within a user defined polygon using either
end area or exact calculations. Volumes can be
calculated between a triangulated model and a fixed
height or between two triangulated models. Reports of
cut and fill areas and volumes are given on a section
by section basis using the end area method, a height
range basis by the cell method, or on a depth range
basis using exact volumes. Depth volumes can be
colour coded for validation and plots.
Volumetrics, Tin Analysis &
Earthworks 12d®Model™ provides a very systematic approach to volume calculations with good provision for independent calculation checks. It is a general-purpose volume computation routine suitable for a wide variety of applications.
The triangulation analysis module has options to
calculate surface area, depth contours (isopachs), the
intersection of triangulations, and options for slope,
aspect and viewshed analysis. Colour coding can be
used for the slope and aspect analysis. Land use
studies, landscaping and other civil design tasks can
benefit from this comprehensive suite of triangulation
alignment in the Base product to fully support fixed
and floating and IP design, design speed tables,
where minimum and maximum radii, transitions,
superelevation and curve widening are automatically
calculated for specified design speeds.
Designs often change, but it is the computator features
of the alignment in 12d that lessens the impact of such
changes.
Computated alignments are alignments that are
positioned relative to other alignments. Typical
examples may be exit and entry ramps on a motorway
connecting interchanges, urban intersections with left
and right turn lanes, traffic islands, roundabouts and
general land development intersections.
Each alignment can be computated in the horizontal
and vertical, allowing one or more of these alignments
the ability to reposition automatically should a major
reference alignment move.
The parametric geometry generator quickly produces
fully linked objects for intersections, turning lanes and
roundabouts.
The Detailed Alignment Design module also provides
string generation and modifcation operations to allow
interactive design of the most complex civil situations.
The modifiers include:
• modifying design cross-fall, road width and string
height between chainages
• projecting the cross-fall between two existing
strings
Detailed Alignment Design Alignment design adds another dimension to 12d®Model™, providing the tools to carry out the full range of civil design work, from land development to multi lane highways with major intersections and exits.
• widening out to an existing string
• creating cross sections at user specified chainages
• modifying the height and/or offset of the hinge
string (allows easy design of roads with offset
crown).
A separate Kerb return function uses the grades and
cross-falls at the ends of the kerb return to
automatically create vertical geometry. This enables
the user to rapidly create and edit kerb return
alignments and gives the ability to immediately see
the effects of the entire intersection design.
Decisions can be used in the design cross section to
allow, among other things, complicated cut and fill
requirements (multiple strata), decisions based on
depth below one or more strata or strings, multi-level
decisions (i.e. depth decisions, etc) and extended
battering including repetitive battering, fixed width
batters and battering relative to a string or strata.
Alignment design is fully interactive and changes
made in the design will be automatically reflected in
other segments of your projects including design
strings, cross sections, triangulations, long and cross
The Urban Drainage and Wastewater suite consists of
three drainage modules - Drainage, Drainage Analysis
and Dynamic Drainage Analysis - and the Sewer
module for wastewater reticulation.
Drainage
12d® is the tool to create your drainage network.
Layout your drainage network on screen or by
importing data from 12d® drawings and spreadsheets.
Urban Drainage & Wastewater 12d®Model™ substantially reduces the time required to design a complete drainage network, and increases design quality through holistic handling of design surfaces, utilities (e.g. water, gas, electricity), clash checking and trench quantities.
12d® creates plan drawings with pipes to scale or
stylised using line types for pipe sizes/classes.
Automatically generate "intelligent" title blocks to plot
directly to your plotter, complete with your logos and
auto incremented drawing numbers. The user
determines the look of the drawings.
Excavation volumes and pipe system quantities can
be calculated within 12d®. User defined templates are
applied for trench shapes that vary with depth and
pipe size. Excavation volumes may be summarised by
depth (volumetrics module). Pipe schedules are
categorised by pipe types, sizes and/or depths. You
specify the ranges and groupings.
Construction schedules can be printed or the data
exported to spreadsheets including road chainages,
modelling setup time for river, flood plain, & open
channel studies.
Start with survey data, airborne laser scanning

section or perspective views. Flood inundation maps
with depth contours and coloring by depth ranges can
be quickly and easily prepared.
Engineering type drawings (river profiles and cross
sections) showing bed levels and multiple water level
profiles are produced. Drawings are complete with
"intelligent" title blocks containing both custom and
automatically generated data.
3D images of flood levels and ‘flights’ down the river
are recorded in AVI movie format. Movies of the
project showing flood limits and buildings are perfect
for public presentations.
Full design features for engineered waterways as well
as volume calculation for storage areas, excavations
and embankments are also available.
channel improvements and design.12d®Model™
efficiently handles several million points, making it
ideal for the dense data that results from LIDAR,
photogrammetry and traditional surveys of large areas.
For additional clarity, aerial photographs can be used
as backdrops for your work.
The user specifies the river centre line, overbanks and
cross-section (straight line or bent) locations.
12d®Model™ automatically determines river levees
and exports the 3d river system to programs such as
HEC-RAS, Mike 11, UNET, ISIS and XP SWMM. ISIS
and XP SWMM storage/reservoirs receive stage-area
curves directly from the surface tin.
The water levels are read from the output files or users
can create their own flood level files to map observed
floods. Calculated flood limits can be shown in plan,
A rendered perspective view or drive through provides
a realistic three dimensional image which is often the
easiest way to convey a design to a non-technical
audience.
The Visualisation module has a large number of tools
to quickly build and display realistic scenes of terrain
and design data.
Aerial photographs can be draped over triangulated
surfaces to produce realistic backgrounds for the
renderings.
Shading and textures are used on the new design to
improve realism.
Visualisation The Visualisation module quickly produces realistic perspective scenes of your design. Surfaces can be shaded, photos draped onto the terrain, textures applied to surfaces and shapes extruded along strings.
A library of objects such as trees, lights, guard rails,
fences and walls is supplied with 12d®Model™ so that
new users can immediately produce results. New
objects can be created using faces and extrusions to
cover almost all situations.
Routines to create road line markings, signs and
billboards complete the overall effect.
Timelines add moving cars and other objects to create
functionality but the AMG to MGA module may also be
purchased separately.
Digitizing
This module is used to capture existing drawings for
use as base data. Optional "stream mode" allows fast
capture of strings, especially contours. A filter may be
Additional Modules In addition to covering all facets of survey, mapping and design, 12d®Model™ offers optional modules covering a wide range of applications, so the user can complete the job within one software package.
Estate Lots
With this module, users can create and label
subdivision (estate) lots. This functionality is included
in the Survey module but may also be purchased
separately. For more details on Estate Lots please see
the Survey section of this brochure.
LINZ Landonline - eSurvey
Landonline is Land Information New Zealand’s
electronic database of land title and survey
information. With this module, data extracted from
Landonline can be used in 12d® traverse
