Field Data Processing

Hello All Surveyors,

 

what is everybody's favorite method of processing field data? Carlson, Microstation w/Survey Inroads, ACAD Civil 3D, Microsurvey Starnet for traverse, TraversePC just to name a few, and thats just conventional surveying, not GPS (another topic)

 

looking to hearing who uses what and their opinions of it.

  • Revit is an Autodesk (Acad) product.

    Hey there!

    Mainly using a swedish program called SBG-geo, aswell as Civil 3D for my normal survey data.

    For TLS-data i mainly use the Leica Cyclone and Revit (from Autodesk), atm looking abit towards using the GOM inspect for asbuilt comparisons to models.

    Besides those programs i also use Arcview etc for later data-processing.

    As for my opinions i´ll divide them abit:

    SBG-geo: very powerful program, capable of doing most things with surveydata (from terrainmodels and roadsections, to traverses and machinecontrol).

    Civil 3D: Can sometimes feel abit too big for itself. Can get confusing with all the functionality.

    Revit: Wounderful for automodelling of buildings and piping, good tutorials on youtube.

    GOM inspect: haven´t really gotten into this program yet, but think it will make the industrial measurements with tls alot better.

    Cyclone: Can do most things, but nothing is really done with ease... takes alot of memory and does not support the .las file!

    thats my 5 cents :)
