LSS Vista
The ideal solution for most users processing and preparing surveys
and designs. LSS Vista is a powerful DTM system providing the ideal
'Field-to-Finish' solution for surveyors and engineers alike. Enhanced text
handling and surface code application are included in the long list of
facilities offered. Plan plotting and bi-directional transfer of DXF and MOSS
data are amongst those most widely used. Data may be 'digitised' via the mouse
and simple designs added.
LSS Vista
also provides fully rendered 3D views and realtime virtual tours with textured
and heighted features, such as trees, hedges, fences etc. and image draping ,
such as raster maps and aerial orthophotos- valuable when interpreting a site
or design. In addition, this product offers many powerful volume calculation,
section reporting and plotting facilities. Plans may be digitised from an
external tablet and models merged together for the creation of final design
plans and views.
Everything in
LSS Solo, plus the following facilities

- Plotting of plans via most
plotters and ANY Windows-compatible printer including the ability to
overplot more than one survey (e.g. for detail not in the DTM such as
services or 2D map information) and plotting hatching and shading for
surface codes
- Enhanced application of text and
surface features
- Input of data from other systems,
such as DXF for AutoCAD™
- Interrogate and import from MX (MOSS)
Model files (in addition to GENIO in Solo)
- Export ESRI ASCII Grid format (in addition to import of this format in Solo)
- Export to selected GPS Machine
Guidance and Machine Control Systems
- Cut and paste DTM models
- Design of parallel offset features
- Query maximum, minimum and total
lengths of selected linear features.
- Conversion of Ordnance Survey MasterMap (GML).

- Three dimensional views and
realtime fly-bys (virtual tours). Textures may be applied to the DTM in
order to represent different materials or zones and images applied to
point and link features to represent such things as trees, hedges, walls,
fences and buildings

- Raster maps and aerial orthophotos
may also be draped onto the DTM with the minimum of user intervention and
the combined model flown or walked through in real time with joystick, gamepad
or keyboard control of 3D virtual tours
- Display up to seven DTMs in the
same 3D view simultaneously, with full control over transparency
- Animated water 'flood' level
facility within the 3D view and virtual tour

- Calculation of volumes between two
surveys, broken down by surface feature if required, using cross sections
or highly accurate complex triangular vertical prisms
- Volumes can take into account formation level information such as concrete slab thickness or road construction depths
- Calculation of areas and volumes
to a datum, as defined by surface features if required
- Plotting of sections through up to
50 DTMs simultaneously to any Windows-compatible printer or plotter or DXF
file
- Reporting and export of section
data
- Digitising of plans via a tablet,
including the ability to 'stream' and condition contour data
- Design of variable offset features
- Determination of Ponding
Extents for the analysis of ponded water
