When sufficient data are available PLS-CADD can give you an even better perspective using contour lines, color renderings and even draped aerial photographs.Īltering your line route is easily accomplished by dragging P.I. Superposition of planimetric maps and aerial photographs can be used to better visualize the area around your line. PLS-CADD has a customizable data import routine that can read a wide range of survey data formats. Survey data can be keyed in, can be digitized using the built in heads-up digitizer, or can be electronically imported from a survey data file.

It accepts survey data in both the plan and the profile coordinate systems. In PLS-CADD you concentrate on designing your line instead of wasting your time drafting.Ĭlick here for full image PLS-CADD easily adapts to the wide range of technologies used for line surveys including total station instruments, airborne lasers and photogrammetry. The effects of this structure move will be instantly visible in all views including the plan & profile sheet view. When you drag a structure off the current alignment PLS-CADD will generate new profiles and update all affected structure and wire positions. The PLS-CADD model is much more than just a picture or CAD drawing since PLS-CADD understands the relationship between these elements. The model can be viewed in a number of different ways: profile views, plan views, plan & profile sheets, 3-D views, staking lists. This model includes the terrain, the structures and all the wires. The PLS-CADD solution is so clearly superior to any alternative that it has been adopted by more than 1400 organizations in over 115 countries.Īt the heart of PLS-CADD is a sophisticated three-dimensional engineering model. This sophistication and integration leads to more cost-effective designs being produced in only a fraction of the time required by traditional methods. No other program can match the sophisticated engineering capabilities available in PLS-CADD. It integrates all aspects of line design into a single stand-alone program with a simple, logical, consistent interface. PLS-CADD runs under Microsoft Windows and features an easy to use graphical user interface. PLS-CADD is the most powerful overhead power line design program on the market.
