At its core, MXROAD uses 3D string modeling technologya proven, powerful and concise method of creating any 3D surface. Localized to many country standards MXROAD includes for:

Data Interoperability

* Seamless integration between CAD platformsin both DGN and DWG environments
* Ability to import data from almost any source including Land XML
* Referencing of CAD files on the fly, including multiple formats or raster images
* Available as a stand-alone environment with high quality, fully functional CAD tools built-in
* Save as DGN and DWG
* Publish to 2D and 3D Adobe PDF format

Alignment Design

* Dynamic, advanced tools for interactive alignment creation
* Variety of transition types to most international standards
* Comprehensive geometric reporting, including on-the-fly volumetrics to allow optimization of cut and fill percentages
* Ability to snap to existing terrain features with clearance checking
* Parallel Alignment creation
* Creation of alignments directly from CAD elements

Road Design

* Library of standard road styles to many standards
* Ability to widen roads using linear or reverse curves, controlling gradients throughout
* Built-in rules for fast and efficient application of superelevation
* Junction and roundabout design in 3D with the ability to dynamically re-grade kerb returns
* Storage of different road styles and modeling of pavement construction

Interactive Design Editing

* 3D design data editing via cross sections at individual or over a range of chainages / stations
* Ability to edit section elements by slope or push out points, updating cross section and plan views simultaneously
* Rapid design through the ability to restrict design to pre-defined boundaries (for example: right-of-way limits)

Quantities and Reports

* Quantities Manager providing automatic extraction of quantities for estimating
* Dynamic Reports provide access to a wide range of reporting options from an expanding toolbar
* User-definable horizontal and vertical alignment geometry reports
* Ability to create reports from Volumetric Analysis tool for calculating cut and fill areas and volumes

Earthworks Design

* Ability to design any engineering earthworks strategy applicable to any geological condition and to any standard
* Intuitive, easy to use graphical user interface allowing you to drag and drop styles to define complex, custom cut/fill strategies
* Storage of strategies in a library of simple, multiple and combination slopes, including a thumbnail preview for easy review

Google Earth Integration

* Publish MX models to KML or KMZ files
* Share, open and view data in Google Earth
* Publish Saved Views from MX to the Google Earth environment
* Add 2D drawings and other high resolution overlays
* Augment imagery with Digital Terrain Mapping (DTM)

Integration with Bentley Content Management and Publishing Solutions

* Tight integration with Bentley content management and publishing solutions to bring collaborative design data to the entire project team in a secure environment
* Integration of Digital Interplot at the production end, enabling automated plot set generation and Web-based access to plot archives
