In PLS-CADD you concentrate on designing your line instead of wasting your time drafting. The effects of this structure move will be instantly visible in all views including the plan & profile sheet view.
When you drag a structure off the current alignment PLS-CADD will generate new profiles and update all affected structure and wire positions. The PLS-CADD model is much more than just a picture or CAD drawing since PLS-CADD understands the relationship between these elements. The model can be viewed in a number of different ways: profile views, plan views, plan & profile sheets, 3-D views, staking lists. This model includes the terrain, the structures and all the wires. This image was created by "draping" the same photo shown in the left pane over a digital terrain model.Īt the heart of PLS-CADD is a sophisticated three-dimensional engineering model. The left pane of the image shows an isometric view of the same section of line in the right pane. The contour lines were generated from the digital terrain model and can be displayed at user selected intervals. The right pane of this image shows a top view of a line superposed over an aerial photo. The PLS-CADD solution is so clearly superior to any alternative that it has been adopted by more than 1400 organizations in over 115 countries. This sophistication and integration leads to more cost-effective designs being produced in only a fraction of the time required by traditional methods. No other program can match the sophisticated engineering capabilities available in PLS-CADD. It integrates all aspects of line design into a single stand-alone program with a simple, logical, consistent interface. PLS-CADD runs under Microsoft Windows and features an easy to use graphical user interface.
