Something good - for a change

[Anonymous]

I know, I've done a lot of harping on C3D when it bogs down on certain
things.
I thought I'd tell about something good for a change and to be fair.

We had to do some topo surveys and monometer readings on a few houses which
we're monitoring, hoping they don't slide down the hill...

With the new dynamic surfaces, it was really quick and easy to manipulate
the data, to show several readings in one drawing, to give them colored
elevation maps, slope analysis, contour, recontour, invert things, mask the
garage areas etc... Produce some slick looking exhibits.

I'm itching to do a show and tell, but due to contractual obligations I'm
not allowed. We may end up doing expert witnessing on this one, so I have to
keep my descriptions very conceptual.

After several readings are taken, I may end up taking this into 3D Studio or
similar and animating what is happening. Not that I hope the houses keep
sliding, but I do hope I get to do the animations, which I only get to do if
the houses keep sliding....

Connie,

I worked on a landfill monitoring project for a client many years back and this software would have been perfect for that.

Maybe we should let the people in Laguna Beach CA, who keep having the mud slides, know about this 🙂

It's is really great to hear some positive feedback!

Thanks,

Oh, and I love the fact that I can run TIN volume surfaces.
It's the more precise calc I would often get the request for, which LDDT
would always crash on. And I like the stratum definitions in the prospector
window where I can line up several stratums and export the results into XML.
Often I have 15-20 stratums to calc at once.
This is where C3D had the LDDT licked.
