Get Powerful Automation
What might take days with other civil software takes just hours, or even minutes, with the powerful, intuitive Carlson Civil. Road NETwork. Build all roads, intersections and cul-de-sacs in 2D and 3D with a single click of the “PROCESS” button. Site NETwork. Elevate your estimating accuracy with this intuitive layer-based surface generator and earthwork calculator. Lot NETwork. Quickly define an entire subdivision of lots based on an outer boundary, interior ROWs or Centerlines, and a simple set of user-defined “rules,” then pick “PROCESS” and the lots appear, defined and labeled.

Carlson GIS

Put Your Designs on the Map
Advanced Technology
Providing tools for data capture and linking, data labeling, import/export of SHP files, polygon topology creation and analysis, and more, Carlson GIS is an awesome GIS “Swiss Army Knife” for the surveyor or engineer. The routines for managing aerial images enable users to improve the quality of the geographic positioning of their designs.
Other attributes include ability to:
  • Import images and terrain from both Google Earth and Esri®
  • Activate a geolocated background map
  • Import GIS layers as linework with GIS data with Web Feature Service (WFS)
  • Use Web Map Service (WMS) to place images from Carlson Image Server or user-specified server
With Carlson GIS’ powerful GIS automation, users can input, edit, label, inspect, and report GIS data to entities via simple tools, in addition to obtaining topographic and planimetric features from county databases.
GIS Brochure
Carlson Hydrology provides a system-wide stormwater solution in3D, offering enhanced 3D options plus a command to run multiple rain events at the same time. The software also provides warnings for collisions, excessive pipe lengths, insufficient cover, lack of slope, excessive flow rates, and more.

Carlson Hydrology

Complete Hydrologic & Hydraulic Solution
Comprehensive, yet easy-to-master, Carlson Hydrology provides the automation to meet your hydrology needs and all in the CAD environment of polylines, text, and layers. Full 3D road and lot design feed directly into flow calculations and drainage design.
Top attributes include :
  • Site Drainage-using either Rational or SCS Method
  • Runoff Analysis to determine watershed area, time of concentration and peak flow rates
  • Storm Drain System design and drafting
  • Pond, culvert, channels, and outlet design and sizing
  • Extensive libraries on rainfall, inlets, manholes, outlets

Carlson CADNet

CADnet Brochure
Carlson CADnet allows users to create CAD from non-CAD documents such as PDFs, raster images, and paper plans. CAD text can also be generated from raster images with CADnet's built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR).
Carlson CADnet users get the ability to import BIM models (doors, windows, walls, roofs, etc.) and bring them into CAD as CAD entities; plus CADnet includes a routine to export surfaces into BIM. Users can import PDF files as well as BIM using IFC files; convert raster images to vector CAD entities; and, modify Raster images using cut, copy, remove speckles and thicken commands. Project setup is easy with flexible data storage methods. CADnet incorporates handy tools for working in AutoCAD such as Join Nearest, Shrinkwrap Entities, Polyline Utilities, Drawing Inspector, Layer Inspector, and Twist Screen. Carlson office software solutions all come with IntelliCAD® built-in and work on AutoCAD®. Carlson CADnet is part of the Carlson Takeoff R-series, which comes as a full AutoCAD OEM.
