Features and Highlights
Create Professional Maps
Easily communicate both simple and complex spatial data. The app gives you the tools to create high-quality maps to clearly deliver your message to coworkers, clients, and stakeholders.
Model Data in Multi-Dimensions
Gain deeper insights into your data when viewed in three-dimensional space. The software’s 3D viewer makes it easy to model, analyze, and understand all aspects of your data. Switching between the app’s 2D and 3D perspectives ensures you discover all of your data’s patterns and trends.
LiDAR Point Clouds
LiDAR is an increasingly popular data collection method used within many fields including archaeology, surveying, GIS, and more. Use The app’s extensive LiDAR processing and visualization features to take advantage of all that LiDAR has to offer.
Streamlined Workflows
You will be up and running in matter of minutes. The tool’s user interface was designed to take the guesswork out of learning a new program. We worked hard to streamline workflows so you don’t have to.
Enhance Maps & Models
The software gives you the tools to visualize and model all types of data, but it doesn’t stop there. The app’s extensive customization options allow you to convey complex ideas in an easy to understand manner. Enhance your maps and models with a variety of customizations options.
Full Grid Control
The app gives you extensive control over grid files. Create isopach maps for structural geology, calculate volumes for inventory management or derivatives for terrain analysis, and even create site suitability models all with grid files. Achieve a complete understanding of your underlying data.
Edit Contours
Edit contour lines down to the finest detail. The software’s grid editor lets you quickly adjust contour lines by interactively editing the underlying grid file. Brush, warp, smooth, push down or up, and erase grid nodes, and immediately see the changes to your grid-based maps.
Grid Data with Certainty
Have complete confidence in the accuracy of your model. The tool provides numerous interpolation methods to grid regularly or irregularly spaced data onto a grid or raster, and each interpolation method provides complete control over gridding parameters. Plus, no time is wasted with multithreaded gridding!
Make Meaningful Decisions
Get answers to your questions with the program’s geoprocessing tools. Process your data and analyze relationships. Narrow down areas of interest, highlight important intersections, or perform mathematical calculations on the underlying data to make informed decisions.
Immediate Access to Online Data
An abundance of data is at your fingertips waiting to be visualized. The tool gives you immediate access to worldwide aerial imagery, Open Street Map imagery, worldwide vector data, and terrain data. If you have your own favorite data servers or access to a private data server, include a custom link to that source for easy access. The app makes it easy to access the surplus of online data.
Work Seamlessly with all Coordinate Systems
Your job is to transform data into valuable visualizations. The software’s job is to make it easy for you. The product effortlessly manages unreferenced data and data projected in different/multiple coordinate systems. It really is that easy.
Complete Compatibility
Seamlessly visualize and analyze data from multiple sources. The tool natively reads numerous file formats including SHP, DXF, and XLSX. The program also supports all popular export formats. An extensive set of data management tools are at your disposal for complete compatibility.
Collaborate with Confidence
Quickly share your work with colleagues, stakeholders, and clients. The app models are ready for printed publication with the high quality export formats including PDF or TIF. Alternatively, share your work online with web compatible formats like JPG or PNG. If you are preparing for a presentation, simply copy and paste your map or model into presentation tools such as Microsoft PowerPoint or Word.
