I like the functionality of this software in helping me site plan for road, rail and pipeline projects. It is a very useful tool in helping me with my civil designs and I used it a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there is no dislikes to this program, I feel it does everything I needed it to accomplish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best features of RoadEng are it's ability to handle large amounts of survey data and the speed that you can take a concept to a finished design.

We tend to deal with large amounts of LiDAR data. Civil3D has implemented point clouds and they work OK but if you are building large surfaces we have noticed that C3D will actually thin your data and won't use all the points. Worse yet is that it doesn't tell you that it's doing this. With RoadEng always uses all the points. Sometimes if you have too many points it will crash but then you can go back and thin the data in areas that don't matter as much. You have full control.

We have tried doing corridors in C3D but they just take so much longer to set up and to finish a design. All of the volume and drawing out puts from RoadEng are pretty much fully automated. I can run a first draft of a 10km road over tricky terrain in one day with RoadEng complete with volume outputs and a full set of drawings. There's no way I could do that in any other program.

The only downside is that you can only manage one corridor per file. It would be great if you could even assign an additional profile that drives certain template parameters such as ditch depth. I have found ways to do this in RoadEng but it's a cumbersome process.

The other downfall is that the drawing outputs are sometimes a little too automated. You can't make small adjustments to the page layout of individual pages. Usually this isn't a problem but sometimes a little bit of additional flexibility would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The accessibility. It is easy for me to use kn all devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The organization I would like the layout to be different. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the straightforward work flow the software provides. It doesn't take me long before I'm working on actual engineering rather than drafting and messing with program settings. I also appreciate the tech support provided by Softree. Whenever I call them with a question, they are very helpful and quick to help me solve the problem. Also, many of the technical support engineers are also the software engineers so their knowledge of the program is very in depth. Also, the software does a great job using handling LiDAR data.

I dislike some of the plot and layout options. The settings and layout workflow is a little less intuitive than some of the other software features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The multi-platform CAD capabilities. being able to integrate regular surveys with that of gps or lidar make our muliti-lateral engineering services that much more flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Terrain module does not permit more than ten profiles, nor more than one multi-plot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
