  Base product‐DTM Builder 
 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.
 The 12d Model base product was written from the ground up for the civil and surveying market. Work flow follows traditional engineering ideas.
 The base includes the string types 2d, 3d, 4d, interface, pipe, text, alignment and super to allow accurate civil engineering and survey modeling.

  Volumetrics, Tin Analysis & Earthworks 
 This module is used for calculating earthworks volumes within a user defined
            polygon. 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. Then, depth volumes
            can be colour coded for validation and plots.
 using the end area method, a height range basis by
 The triangulation analysis module has options to calculate surface area, depth contours (isopachs), the intersection of triangulations.Land use studies, landscaping and other civil design tasks can benefit from this comprehensive suite of triangulation analysis options.

  Detailed Alignment design 
 The module carries out full range civil design work. It allows to design
            from basic roads to multi lane highways with major intersections and exits.
            The Detailed Alignment Design module provides design capability and string
            modifier operations to allow interactive design of the most complex civil
            situations.

 (1) Data link from UC-win/Road to 12d Model
 
 
 
                     Link of terrain data 
 Terrain data of UC-win/Road can be converted and exported to Tin file of
                    12d Ascii File Format.
 
 
 
  Link of road data 
 Data is divided into horizontal alignment data, vertical cross section data and cross section data. In 12d Model, horizontal alignment data and vertical cross section data are regarded as input data, while cross section data is regarded as result data. Therefore, horizontal alignment data and the cross section data is converted and exported to 12d Model. In addition, users can define the conversion of the the UC-win/Road 12d to the Alignment of the Super Alignment of the Ascii File Format.

 (2) 12d Data link from 12d Model to UC-win/Road
 
 
 
                     Link of terrain data 12d Model regards terrain data as TIN data structure and the range of the
terrain is not limited. UC-win/Road regards terrain data as grid data structure.
The size of the cell changes according to the size of the range of the
terrain. To express more detailed terrain data, UC-win/Road can generate
terrain patch. In addition, TIN model of 12d Model terrain can be converted
to UC-win/Road terrain data or terrain patch data.
 
 
 
  Link of road data There are two ways: Alignment and Super Alignment in 12d. Users can define
the Alignment or the Super Alignment when converting the road data.
