TerrainCAD for Bricscad 1.0

TerrainCAD for Bricscad 1.0 is designed as a professional and powerful tool which you can create a terrain mesh from a set of unordered points, lines and polylines. The terrain mesh is created as a Delaunay Triangulation, which is regarded as the best method to create a terrain mesh from unorganized point data. TerrainCAD for Bricscad can also import a set of points from a text file containing point coordinate data.

Installation & Usage:

• TerrainCAD is a standalone software.
• Simply run the installer and accept the default installation options.
• Detailed documentation accompanies the software along with a few tutorials to get you started immediately.

Major Features:

1. Terrain Generation
   
   • TerrainCAD creates a terrain mesh from a set of unorganized survey points, breaklines and contours. The terrain mesh is created as a Delaunay Triangulation, which is regarded as the best method to create a terrain mesh from unorganized point data. TerrainCAD can also  generate a terrain mesh directly from contours only. Breaklines can be employed to give TerrainCAD the intelligence to create superior terrain meshes that accurately resemble the actual landscape to be recreated.
2. Terrain Editing
   
   • Often terrain meshes need to be manually edited for various reasons. TerrainCAD makes this very easy by offering a host of terrain mesh editing commands. TerrainCAD has very useful commands to edit vertices, edges and faces of a terrain mesh. The terrain editing commands are listed below:
   • Vertex Editing Commands  
   • Delete Vertex: Delete a vertex of the terrain mesh
   • Move Vertex:  Move a vertex of the terrain mesh   
   • Edge Editing Commands  
   • Delete Edge: Delete an edge of the terrain mesh
   • Move Edge: Move an edge of the terrain mesh
   • Collapse Edge: Collapse an edge to its mid point
   • Swap Edge: Swap an edge of the terrain mesh
   • Split Edge: Split an edge of the terrain
   • Face Editing Commands  
   • Add Face : Add a new face to the terrain mesh
   • Delete Face: Delete a face of the terrain mesh
   • Move Face: Move a face of the terrain mesh
   • Collapse Face: Collapse a face to its centroid
   • Split Face: Split a face of the terrain
   • Sub-Divide Face: Sub-divide a single face of the terrain mesh
   • Break Quad Face: Bread a single quad face into two triangle faces
   • Flip Face: Flip the direction of a face of the terrain mesh
3. Terrain Modeling
   
   • TerrainCAD also offers several mesh modeling commands. These commands help in altering the general topology of the mesh thereby making it suitable for further operations. The mesh modeling commands are listed below:
   • Mesh Modeling Commands  
   • Move: Move the terrain mesh in space
   • Rotate: Rotate the terrain mesh about an axis
   • Scale : Scale the terrain mesh
   • Fill Hole: Fill a single hole in the terrain mesh
   • Fill Holes :  Fill all the holes in the terrain mesh
   • Sub-Divide: Sub-divide the terrain mesh
   • Break Quads : Break all quad faces to triangle faces
   • Flip :Flip the face normals of the terrain mesh
   • Face Upwards: Make the terrain mesh face upwards
   • Smooth: Smooth a set of vertices of the terrain mesh
   • Solidify : Create a solid from the terrain mesh by giving it thickness
