SierraSoft Infra Design Studio features and specs

• User Interface: Beautiful and functional
  The ergonomic and refined User Interface of SierraSoft Infra Design Studio is focused on the user’s experience. The result is a simple and effective Interface with a wider graphic area and the access to functionalities is natural and more intuitive.
• Graphic engine: Extraordinarily fast
  Based on the special flexible and very high-performance 3D graphic engine, the CAD of SierraSoft Infra Design Studio is extremely fast and convenient, even with huge quantities of vector data and images.
• Database: A stable base for your projects
  SierraSoft Infra Design Studio includes a powerful, stable and high-performance database, with an excellent level of data compression, in order to minimize the used space. The security data is ensured by the backup function and SmartSave, which avoid the loss of information in case of unexpected stop of the software (for example a blackout).
• Memory manager: Everything you need without waste
  SierraSoft Infra Design Studio can use all the memory made available by the Windows 64-bit operating system (64GB). It has an optimized management, which uses just the necessary memory and free memory as soon as possible. The memory management is automatic and smart, in order to make the most of the resources of the computer.
• Data exchange: Fast and accurate data access
  Through the data exchange functionalities SierraSoft Infra Design Studio can directly read and write CAD data (DXG and DXF) and data of other formats such as GIS, TXT without any dependence on other software. Data exchange recognizes the entities present in various files and transforms them into its internal entities by reproducing their information.
• International: Work without boundaries
  SierraSoft Infra Design Studio is international by nature and manages different languages (English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French) and several units of measure. You can choose different languages among interface, project data and printouts. So you can work in your favourite language and deliver your work in the language that your client wants.
• Parametric engine: Automate the impossible
  It is possible to control the design like never before, drastically reduce designing time thanks to 3D real time cross-section on planimetry. By changing a parameter everything is updated automatically. The result can be immediately checked even before creating the final project. Maximum control over the entire design and over every detail.
• Modification and check in real time
  It is possible to control the design like never before, drastically reduce designing time thanks to 3D real time cross-section on planimetry. By changing a parameter everything is updated automatically. The result can be immediately checked even before creating the final project. Maximum control over the entire design and over every detail.
• Dynamic engine - The results in real time
  SierraSoft Infra Design Studio is equipped with a dynamic processing engine, which combined with the parametric engine allows you to obtain complex results in real time and facilitate all design and modeling activities
• Stereoscopic engine: Improve accuracy with stereoscopic viewing
  Stereoscopy visualization is integrated into the SierraSoft Infra Design Studio CAD system. Hardware interfaces are managed such as: NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards, NVIDIA 3D Vision Steroscopic Glasses, or 3DpluraView stereoscopic stations.
• Point clouds: Upload and manage point clouds in a very simple way.
  SierraSoft Infra Design Studio easy handle one or more point clouds of any size. Loading and display are really fast, drawing and extraction functions occur in real time. A special tool “SierraSoft Mass Data Converter” converts LAS, XYZ, PTS, XCF, E57 and DEM GeoTIFF files so that you can manage them with ease.
• Help: Learning by doing
  Learning tools are included in SierraSoft Infra Design Studio. The Smarthelp guides the user while working with the software by providing context-sensitive information. The user guide of the product is integrated in the Interface through retractable control panels and always available.
• BIM Software: Modeling, sharing, checking
  SierraSoft Infra Design Studio is a powerful software that allows you to integrate land surveying work, infrastructure design and construction within the processes, guidelines and tools used for BIM. Information exchange, information modeling, information analysis, and information verification occur through the functionality of BIM software extensions (SierraSoft BIM Modeling, SierraSoft BIM Exchange an SierraSoft BIM Checking)
• Mega projects: When size matters
  With SierraSoft Infra Design Studio you can manage big quantities of data. Only necessary data are loaded into memory and the ones on the disk are automatically compressed in order to create small files. Your projects will have no limits.
• Policy - Free to design where you prefer
  Calculations, checks and policies checks: SierraSoft Infra Design Studio checks if your project complies with the policy. Check the congruence of the design parameters of the axes with the selected policy. Generate and test the visibility diagram and the speed diagram. Generate the speed diagram. The calculation of the superelevations and widenings takes place automatically. The calculation of the overhangs and widenings takes place automatically. Get a detailed report of the verification, element by element, with the provisions of the policy. The software will suggest, where possible, the maximum and minimum values to be adopted. Several policies are already present in the software, and thanks to an open and intuitive system, you can extend the existing regulations with the new ones you need.
