DTM: streamlining terrain analysis with Pythagoras CAD 

Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) are essential for understanding and analyzing terrain in various projects, such as construction or environmental management. Pythagoras CAD provides robust tools for creating and managing DTMs, ensuring efficient and precise terrain analysis that enhances overall project execution.

DTM - Digital Terrain Model with Pythagoras CAD for Surveyors

Effortless DTM creation

Pythagoras CAD simplifies the generation of DTMs from GPS or 3D scanning data. Its intuitive interface and advanced algorithms empower users to create detailed and accurate terrain models quickly. This streamlined process facilitates comprehensive analysis and visualization of terrain features, enabling better decision-making and effective project planning.

As-built plan for surveyors

Monitoring: Comparing as-built with design

Pythagoras CAD also facilitates effective monitoring by allowing users to compare as-built conditions with the original design. This capability enables professionals to identify discrepancies between the planned and actual terrain, ensuring adherence to design specifications. By providing visual comparisons and analysis tools, Pythagoras CAD helps maintain project integrity and allows for timely adjustments when necessary.

Volume calculations made easy

Accurate DTMs are vital for calculating soil intake and removal volumes. Pythagoras CAD’s advanced tools automate these calculations, ensuring both accuracy and efficiency. By providing clear volume measurements, the software supports effective earthwork planning and execution, minimizing the risk of errors and optimizing resource management.
