  • Import, create, clean and refine terrains
  • Dress up terrains with contour maps and color them with respect to the height
  • Geolocate terrains for natural positioning on site
  • Manage geolocation at import or export consistently with the infrastructure
  • Prepare data for infrastructure design such as excavation
  • Support large clouds of points
  • Provide terrains ready to use in the drawing process

Terrain Preparation includes a set of geolocation tools that can be reused in other apps. Geolocation and design range management are two distinct functionalities.
