LSS Elite
LSS
Elite is the top of the range system boasting advanced terrain feature
design by use of templates and slope generation and extremely comprehensive
volume calculations. For earthworks calculations, the cut/fill line may
be generated as can isopachytes. A powerful landform merge function allows
levels in one DTM to be added or subtracted from another. LSS Elite also has tools to calculate concrete floor compliance and road planing quantities. Finally, for
those interested in calculating the visual impact of a development, LSS
Elite is able to calculate ZVIs / ZTVs (Zones of Visual Influence and Intrusion)
and perform Line of Sight analyses.
