Need some advice for choosing software

[Anonymous]

Hi, My name is Hoan, i'm a student from Faculty of Geology, Hanoi
University of Natural Science, Vietnam, not specializing in Designs
and Architecture. For my final thesis, i want to 3D modelling
geomorphology of a small valley in rock mountain area from 2D images (canon 700ED).
So i dont known how to choose your products for working my opinion.
Can you guys give me some advice, please? Thank you so much. Hoan

Hi,

with Map your options are limited - you can add a terrain and drap images on it. You can color terrain by height etc.

Have a look at Map help:

Hi, normally i'm a big fan of Map 3D.

But in your case, I will propose Civil 3D. You will have much more features in designing the geomorphology (surfacve).

• You can modify each point of a real Modell.
• You can use breaklines
• Intersections are possible
• great analysis functions are integrated, like water direction (sorry don't know teh right word in englisch)
• Cuts through the surface along at free drawed lines
• etc.

So when you have the option, get Civil 3D and you will get much more for your work.
