set of commands from basic to very detailed, from the initial Working platform:

input of survey data through to plotting and the creation of

AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD, AutoCAD Map 3D, BricsCAD

3D models that can be used for further design analysis.

Supported languages:

Plateia assists an engineer in preparation of their professional

drawings and technical documentation including volume calculations with comprehensive mass-haul diagrams. The 3D model environment further enables the user to carry out various forms of design analysis such as swept path, visibility and road water runoff.

Plateia is designed to work in conjunction with several CAD applications however, when used in conjunction with AutoCAD

Important new features!

Easy to learn and use

Highlights Flexible Automated “Design in one draw in several� concept allows efficient processing of cross-sections.

Several degrees of automation allow the user to retain full control over the design process while maintaining the relations between elements.

Compatible Plateia is a perfect companion to AutoCAD Civil 3D, It's connected to the Civil 3D DTM, you can transfer road geometry both ways.

Comprehensive Tools are available for tasks from preliminary studies all the way to the construction documentation.

Well structured menus enable fast learning for the first time user while ribbon and toolbox command options are provided for the convenience of experienced users.

Proven Plateia has been localized and used in several countries for projects ranging from urban roads and intersections to countless reconstructions and large scale highway projects.
