CDS 3.0.0.29

CDS3 was failing when registering software for users that didn't have admin access. You are now prompted manually for a site-key.

Cogo -> chainage and offset calcs. When doing calcs between 2 points the results were wrong for 3rd and subsequent chainage/offset calculations.

We have uploaded two new videos to youtube.com on new drain features

Ezigrade 4.1.40

Drains _ 

You can now use "stop banks" to control where the bank batter intersects the surface. Design the bank as always. Click in some stop banks and the batters will stop at the stop bank as long as they are within the drain corridor. ie you can lengthen and shorten the batters:

drains:

Ability to try and balance cut and fill at each section. This cuts down on the amount of dirt needed to be moved along the drain.

We have added in a new drain batter type called variable. This lets the drain batter or batter length vary between preset limits. The appropriate values are used by Ezigrade to balance cut and fill at each drainage section. Click on variable button and click on grades to fill in the table. Do for left and right templates.



Ezigrade 4.1.40

drains again:
In the profile section we have added in a function to raise and lower the design a preset amount.
We have also added in a button called "Balance" that makes sure the cut and the fill balances for the design. It takes into account the cut/fill ratio.
We have also added in some edit box's showing the volume as a guide when doing the profile design.



Ezigrade 4.1.40

More drains:

We need to be able to see how the volume is distributed along the bank so that we can plan the earth movement. We now have an option to create a mass-haulage diagram. Click on
Drain -> Volume
and you will see the option to create a pdf showing mass/haulage.

We also have an option to create a csv for excel showing areas and progressive volumes.


 

Ezigrade 4.1.40

Upgrades to contour banks and drains section.

(1) When designing it is a big help to be able to see a cross section through the drain/bank. You want to be able to see this while you are still designing. We now have a section view that you can move along a bank while designing:  Click on  
Measure -> Drain to see the section view
Window -> Tile Horizontal
