Software for Surveying in Civil Engineering

Central system component for all other BBSoft® modules: manages project administration, structures the data foundation, and controls interfaces as well as system logic.

• Import survey data and process it immediately
• Automatically generate point and staking-out lists
• Central symbol management – find quickly instead of searching
• Clear layer structure for maximum project clarity
• Create as-built plans with just a few clicks
• Easily import Shape data and use it directly
• Flexibly adjust drawings – intuitively control scale, line types, and labeling
• Automatically transform survey points and convert them correctly
• Direct conversion and mapping of 2D and 3D survey points
• Automatically detect and calculate areas
• Output coordinate lists at the push of a button
• Import terrain data directly from the field book
• Conveniently filter, edit, and check survey points

BBSoft® processes survey data directly within CAD – enabling further processing of data captured by total station or laser scanning in 2D and 3D, with standards-compliant output.

• CAD visualization with plan and elevation data in 2D and 3D
• Direct processing in DWG format – no conversion required
• Integrated interfaces: DXF/DWG, REB, Shape, XML, KML, ISYBAU, and DWA
• Manage geodata via CivilDesign® interface
• Assign background hatching to survey point attributes
• Automatically or manually adjust attribute positions – associations remain intact
• Insert legends with symbols and descriptions into the drawing with a single click
• Block manager for managing civil engineering-compliant symbols
• Create as-built plans directly from CAD survey data

Automatically generate and display cross-sections from survey data – standards-compliant output in CAD for road construction, river surveying, and as-built documentation.

• Automatically generate cross-sections from terrain models and survey data – e.g. in road construction
• Display riverbed, water level, bank areas, and vegetation structures in cross-sections
• Cross-section surveying with freely configurable grids and layouts
• Import and process echo sounding data for watercourse cross-sections
• Display high-water marks, dike crests, bridges, and thresholds in cross-sections
• Historical profile evaluations possible for Switzerland (BAFU standard)
• Clearance profile evaluations for Germany
• Data exchange via GPRO and DA66
• List outputs and reports for all cross-sections

Cadastral surveying in CAD: capture parcels and integrate them into existing plans – coordinate system transformation from Gauss-Krüger to ETRS89/UTM according to the NTv2 standard.

• Coordinate system transformation from Gauss-Krüger to ETRS89/UTM according to the NTv2 transformation model (BeTa2007)
• Import parcels and property boundaries from cadastral data and display them in CAD
• Free stationing using polar coordinates or Helmert/affine transformation
• Intersection methods: arc intersection, forward intersection, backward intersection (according to Cassini)
• Traverse calculation for single-sided and double-sided connected traverses
• Adjustment of angular misclosure; optional adjustment of coordinate misclosure
• Output of transformation parameters and standard deviations in reports
• Support for leading surveying equipment manufacturers: Trimble, Leica, Topcon, Sokkia, Geodimeter
• Station resection – output of orientation unknowns and standard deviation

Import, create, edit, and delete survey point files – automatically generate them from all CAD objects and connect them into polylines via dialog-controlled functions.

• Automatically generate survey points from CAD points, block references, texts, lines, arcs, and polylines
• Assign symbols to each survey point via point code – custom symbols can be created
• Connect survey points into polylines via dialog-controlled functions
• Conversion table (IOC editor) to transform various survey point files into BBSoft® format (INP file)
• Plausibility check: delete or edit duplicate points (same coordinates, point numbers, or point codes)
• Output survey point elevations relative to a base elevation
• Save all settings as templates for consistent office standards
• Transform Gauss-Krüger coordinates into ETRS coordinates
• Transfer coding and/or elevation from one survey point to another
• Draw leader lines for attributes such as point number, code, and elevation
• Import/export via DXF/DWG and REB-compliant interfaces

Geodetic calculation methods directly from the field book – including coordinate system transformation from Gauss-Krüger to ETRS89/UTM.

• Extends the field book interface of the base module with surveying-specific calculations
• Support for leading surveying equipment manufacturers (including Trimble, Leica, Topcon, Sokkia, Geodimeter)
• Free stationing (polar coordinates, Helmert/affine transformation)
• Intersection methods: arc intersection, forward intersection, backward intersection (Cassini)
• Station resection including output of orientation unknowns and standard deviation
• Polar attachment and traverse calculation
• Transfer results directly to CAD or back to the field book – for subsequent evaluation

• Select different north arrows and title blocks
• Create custom title blocks with company logo – for a consistent layout
• Freely position and design title blocks in terms of appearance, text content, and size
• Add additional symbols (e.g. QR codes) next to the north arrow and title block
• Set plan formats to standard or freely definable sizes
• Customize all border texts in position and appearance – including fold marks
• Combine plans with different output scales
• Display a second viewport – also with a different scale
• Automatically arrange drawing frames along an alignment including overlap calculation (drawing frame group)
• Configure coordinate labels at the borders in terms of appearance and text size
• Export and import drawing frame settings as .txt files
• CSV export with object ID, layout name, insertion point, and angle
