TerrainCAD for AutoCAD - Terrain modeling plug-in for AutoCAD

TerrainCAD for AutoCAD is a terrain modeling plug-in for AutoCAD. This plug-in gives AutoCAD the ability to generate a terrain mesh from a set of unordered points, contours and polylines. The terrain mesh is created as a Delaunay Triangulation, which is regarded as the best method to create a terrain mesh from unorganized point data. TerrainCAD for AutoCAD can also import a set of points from a text file containing point coordinate data.

TerrainCAD for AutoCAD can solidify a terrain mesh by giving it thickness. It also has a command to calculate the mass properties of a mesh such as volume and surface area.

TerrainCAD for AutoCAD is designed to be extremely user friendly and easy to understand. It adds new commands to AutoCAD and also a sub menu called "TerrainCAD" which houses these commands.

TerrainCAD for AutoCAD is powered by TerrainLib, a state of the art terrain mesh generation, editing and modeling library developed by SYCODE. TerrainLib employs blazing fast algorithms and cutting-edge technology to yield superior terrain models in very less time.

TerrainCAD for AutoCAD comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a set of tutorials to get you started in the shortest possible time.
