TIN surfaces from points
Build triangulated terrain surfaces from survey points.
MODULE 02 / 12 · TERRAIN & POINT CLOUDS
Read the ground
like an engineer.
Build constrained ground models from survey points, breaklines, point clouds and elevation rasters, then query, compare, repair and inspect them in 2D and 3D. Imagery and online elevation sources sit beside the model with their attribution intact.

capabilities.
Your engineers work in the desktop workbench; your agent reaches the same project through typed local tools. Items tagged In development are being built now.
Surfaces
Breaklines and boundaries
Constrain surfaces with breaklines and boundaries; crossings without levels are refused, not guessed.
Surface holes and hide boundaries
Cut holes in surfaces or hide areas from display.
Contours at set intervals
Generate contours at chosen major and minor intervals.
Contour smoothing
Smooth contours for display within a stated deviation, while exports stay exact.
Elevation, slope and aspect analysis
Analyse surfaces by elevation, slope and aspect bands.
Surface profiles and sections
Sample surface profiles and sections along lines and saved alignments.
Select points by surface
Select points above, below or within a distance of a surface.
Minimum and maximum composites
Combine several surfaces into minimum or maximum composite surfaces.
Surface difference and arithmetic
Compute surface differences and weighted surface arithmetic.
Offset and layered surfaces
Create offset surfaces and variable-thickness layered sub-surfaces.
Surface merging and clipping
Merge surfaces or clip them to a boundary.
Terrain repair preview
Preview terrain repairs while the original survey data is preserved.
Mesh from 3D faces
Build terrain from DXF 3DFACE, polyface and mesh entities across layers.
Point clouds, rasters and sources
Point-cloud terrain import
Import LAS and LAZ point clouds into terrain with classification and area filters.
Raster elevation import
Import GeoTIFF elevation rasters as terrain.
Resolution and no-data handling
Control raster sampling resolution and declared no-data values.
Surface analysis settings exchange
Save and load contour and slope analysis settings files.
Surface rebuild propagation
Surface edits rebuild dependent contours and results, with cancel, undo and redo.
Terrain source provenance
Each terrain source records its hash and declared accuracy.
Imagery and online elevation
Imagery connectors
Connect to WMS imagery and WCS elevation services through a provider-neutral interface.
Your own imagery credentials
Configure your own provider credentials and entitlements.
Area-of-interest polygons
Define areas of interest as polygons or corridors.
Points of interest
Manage points of interest and collections.
Image, map and hybrid display
Image, map and hybrid display modes with transparency.
Resolution and mosaics
Choose imagery resolution and build mosaics.
Local georeferenced imagery
Import your own georeferenced images.
Image clipping and transparency
Clip images and set transparency.
Online elevation sources
Bring in elevation data through online source adapters.
Raster and point-cloud sources
Use survey rasters and point clouds as terrain sources.
Import-size preview
Preview terrain sampling and import size before downloading.
Historical imagery timelines
Browse historical imagery by date.
Date comparison
Compare imagery dates for sites and corridors.
Imagery draped on terrain
Drape imagery over terrain in 3D, with a CPU fallback.
CAD overlays on maps
Overlay CAD context on geographic viewers.
Locator image labels
Non-georeferenced locator images are clearly labelled.
Attribution and licence policy
Imagery caching follows attribution and licence policy.
Expired access handling
Handle unavailable providers and expired access cleanly.
HAND IT TO YOUR AGENT
Three briefs to start with.
BRIEF 01
“Build the existing-ground surface from the survey and the kerb breaklines, then report the contours at 0.5 m.”
BRIEF 02
“Import the LAZ scan, filter to ground and compare it with the survey surface.”
BRIEF 03
“Where is the site steeper than 1 in 3? Give me the areas and a slope map.”
