TerrainEngine

TerrainEngine is a specialized plugin for AutoCAD, BricsCAD, GstarCAD and ZWCAD — import, TIN meshes, alignments, point clouds, profiles and control exports in one ribbon. It is intensively used in our surveying practice and continues to be developed. It is not commercially available yet; contact us for a demo or collaboration.
