TopoGX Intelligent Conversion of 2D DXF Survey Data to 3D

Pressbox (Press Release) - opoGX 2D to 3D DXF Converter
TopoGX is a high quality software application which can intelligently convert a 2D DXF drawing into a useful 3D DXF drawing. It is intended for surveyor produced drawings, but is equally suited to any 2D drawing where the Z levels are represented as text items.

Additionally TopoGX contains a powerful triangulation engine which can produce a constrained delaunay triangulation (viewable surface) of the 3D drawing almost instantaneously.

Automatic 2D to 3D DXF Conversion.
TopoGX performs the conversion of 100,000�s of points in a matter of seconds (typically 5 seconds on a modern computer system), with a simple click of a button.

TopoGX intelligently converts numeric text to Z levels, with the X and Y values being selected from an assigned cross, block or line end. Automatic level range correction will filter out incorrect levels, and provide interpolation along polylines where levels may be missing.

2D Viewer
An intuitive 2D viewer enables the user to Zoom, Pan, Window and Centre the imported DXF in plan view. Colour shading the converted 3D DXF according to level height, providing visual feedback of the terrain for quick and easy site appraisal.

3D Viewer
The free Google Earth application allows for easy movement around the 3D DXF. Using Clear Surface provides quick viewing of any survey errors.

TopoGX viewer provides additional functionality to display and control contour lines and directional arrows to fully understand the undulations of the surveyed area.

Drawing Editor
TopoGX includes a simple set of DXF Tools to insert and edit both 2D and 3D points. A Breakline/Constraint tool provides further DXF editing where the original data may have been missing or incorrect.

Output File Formats

3D Polyline mesh in a DXF file.
ASCII X,Y,Z file.
MicroDrainageTM triangulated surface *.pwf file.
Google EarthTM Placemark (for UK OS-Grid) *.kml file.
