It allows cumulative, segment-based, or equal spacing measurements and includes options for placing blocks, breaking polylines, and creating dimensions in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Build Tools -> Build Tools -> Multi-Variable Measure Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is essential for surveyors, civil engineers, and CAD professionals working on road networks, pipelines, or any design requiring precise distance-based markings.

Offset 3d Polylines by Slope/Elevation: GT_3DOFFSETSLOPE – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_3DOFFSETSLOPE command in GeoTools extends the functionality of GT_3DOFFSET by allowing users to offset 3D polylines based on a specified slope and elevation change. Instead of defining horizontal and vertical offsets, this tool enables users to input a slope angle (in degrees or 1:n ratio) and a target elevation difference, making it ideal for civil engineering, road design, and terrain modeling applications. GeoTool -> Build Tools -> Build Tools -> Offset 3d polylines by slope/elevation Offset 3d Polylines by Slope/Elevation: GT_3DOFFSETSLOPE – GeoTools Command Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_3DOFFSETSLOPE, users can efficiently generate slope-aligned offsets for engineering, topographic, and infrastructure projects, ensuring smooth and accurate elevation transitions.

Offset 3d Polylines: GT_3DOFFSET – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_3DOFFSET command in GeoTools allows users to offset 3D polylines in the same way as 2D polylines, with the added flexibility of both horizontal and vertical offsets. This tool is particularly useful in civil engineering, road design, and terrain modeling, where creating parallel 3D alignments with specific elevation adjustments is required. GeoTool -> Build Tools -> Build Tools -> Offset 3d polylines Offset 3d Polylines: GT_3DOFFSET – GeoTools Command Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_3DOFFSET, users can efficiently create parallel 3D alignments, improving accuracy and productivity in infrastructure and topographic modeling.

Make Right of Way/Pavements/Ramps: GT_ROWMAKER – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_ROWMAKER command in GeoTools generates right-of-way (ROW) corridors by offsetting a centerline on both sides by a specified width. This tool is compatible with 2D and 3D polylines, as well as polylines containing arcs and spline objects, making it ideal for roadway design, pedestrian pathways, and transportation planning in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Build Tools -> Build Tools -> Make Right of Way/Pavements/Ramps Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is essential for civil engineers, urban planners, and transportation designers, simplifying the process of creating and managing ROWs in CAD environments.

Make Polylines/3dfaces Planar: GT_PLANARPOLY – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_PLANARPOLY command in GeoTools allows users to convert polylines and 3D faces into perfectly planar geometry, ensuring that all vertices align on a single plane. This is essential for photogrammetry, rendering, and 3D modeling applications, where non-planar geometry can cause errors in visualization and data processing. GeoTool -> Drawing Cleanup Tools -> Drawing Cleanup Tools -> Make polylines/3dfaces planar Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_PLANARPOLY, users can quickly fix non-planar geometry, improving data accuracy and visualization quality in CAD and GIS workflows.

Set Out of Range Elevation Values to Nearest Valid Elevation Values: GT_SET_Z_PL – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_SET_Z_PL command in GeoTools adjusts out-of-range elevation values in polylines by replacing them with the nearest valid non-zero elevation. This ensures a consistent elevation profile in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Drawing Cleanup Tools -> Drawing Cleanup Tools -> Set out-of-range elevation values to nearest valid elevation values Set Out of Range Elevation Values to Nearest Valid Elevation Values: GT_SET_Z_PL – GeoTools Command Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is particularly useful for surveying, civil engineering, and GIS applications, ensuring that polyline elevation data remains reliable and free of errors.

Check for Coincident (XY) Endpoints with Varying Z: GT_ENDELEVCHECK – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_ENDELEVCHECK command in GeoTools is used to detect line endpoints that share the same XY coordinates but have different Z elevations. It helps identify and manage elevation mismatches in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander, ensuring accurate 3D modeling and topographical consistency. GeoTool -> Drawing Cleanup Tools -> Drawing Cleanup Tools -> Check for coincident (XY) endpoints with varying Z spacing Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is essential for surveyors, civil engineers, and CAD professionals working with 3D elevation data and terrain models, providing an efficient way to manage elevation discrepancies in linework.

Weed Points Based on Spacing: GT_POINTWEED – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_POINTWEED command in GeoTools is designed to remove redundant points or blocks that are positioned too close to each other, based on a user-defined distance threshold in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. This tool is particularly useful for data cleanup, GIS mapping, and survey point reduction, ensuring a more streamlined and optimized point dataset. GeoTool -> Drawing Cleanup Tools -> Drawing Cleanup Tools -> Weed points based on spacing Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is essential for surveyors, CAD drafters, and GIS professionals, ensuring efficient point data management while maintaining the integrity of spatial information.
