OMFG!!! Subscription Advantage Pack Coming Soon!

Merry Christmas Civil 3D 2010 users!!

Ok...for months I've heard rumor swirling that "some kind of roundabout" tool would be coming soon for Civil 3D 2010. Imagine my surprise today when I saw it in action plus TONS of other tools available only to subscription Civil 3D customers.

More details to come, but check your subscription account SOON for the subscription advantage pack (SAP).

Note: this is just the tippity top of the iceberg.

• 2D roundabout layout tool. Not as powerful as the intersection tool - but a good start.
• Point cloud support. Navisworks has always been able to see these, now C3D can too. Lots of different file formats supported. Don't expect a TIN out of this - but you no longer need 3rd party software to deal with this data. No weeding of this data either (yet)...but hello??? POINT cloud support! Snap-to, measure and color-code this data.
  
• My personal favorite tool comes in the form of the surface enhancements. Remember this post? Totally useless now. You can now import a surface direct from SHP file or other geo-database.
• More profile creation tools.
• More alignment manipulations tools.
• More supported survey formats.
• More visualization tools! (Tools that answer the question, "Can drivers see over that statue of the Fonze?)
  
• Better export to Microstation.
  
• More!!!

I'm going to try to scam some screen caps from Dana and post more here.

Look for these tool in about a week. I'll post when they are available.
