CAD suite delivers innovation to civil engineering professionals

1 June 2000

Intergraph Corporation has announced that its new SelectCAD V8 software suite is delivering innovation to civil engineering professionals worldwide. The SelectCAD software suite includes Intergraph's flagship road and site grading design product, InRoads SelectCAD and spans the entire civil engineering workflow with discipline-specific products including Survey SelectCAD, Site SelectCAD, Bridge SelectCAD and Storm & Sanitary SelectCAD. The software suite also includes two software bundles: Civil Office and Construction Office.
During the introduction of Civil SelectCAD V8 more than 1200 engineering professionals participated in the SelectCAD V8 seminar series. Attendees learned about the new innovations in InRoads version 8 and how this advanced software helps users with their transportation, site and water resources project workflows.
Developed by Intergraph, SelectCAD technology is unlike other engineering design software with products that are CAD-neutral, enabling civil engineers to select their CAD platform of choice.
SelectCAD technology maintains the engineering data at the core of the design process - ensuring that final drawings are produced from live engineering data instead of graphics. Integration between the live data and downstream functions such as GIS and plotting is easy, with data integrity maintained throughout the project workflow.
SelectCAD V8 delivers innovative tools that reduce design time for engineering professionals. New capabilities include timesaving tools for design, modelling and analysis, as well as data integration.
These tools include a rich feature-based DTM that allows users to automatically reflect model features in plan and sections. Pen/Pencil, a new industry innovation, significantly reduces project design time by tracking all features placed during the design process. These features are automatically updated when changes are requested ensuring that graphics reflect the latest design. Pen/Pencil technology enables updating of cross sections avoiding reprocessing. Style locks and customisable tool bars greatly reduce the number of operations and allow the user to customise the products to their workflow
