Carlson Civil
Carlson Software’s Civil Suite is a powerful software bundle made up of: Carlson Survey, Carlson Civil, Carlson Hydrology, and Carlson GIS. These four civil-related modular programs, working together, will allow you to create all of your deliverables at a fraction of the long-term costs compared to other software alternatives. Carlson Civil provides the most robust automation and ease-of-use of any civil design solution available today, and it does dynamic updating without a single custom object. Carlson Civil’s wide selection of “power” tools enable users to increase their productivity as they create better road, site, and subdivision designs in less time. Carlson Hydrology is a comprehensive, yet easy-to-master hydrologic and hydraulic software solution that works simply in the commonly user CAD environment of polylines, text and layers. Carlson Hydrology provides site drainage and runoff analysis, plus storm drain system design and drafting, and pond design and sizing.

Carlson Survey
Carlson Survey is designed to complement land surveying operations and provides a variety of survey features to process data from surface modeling to least squares network adjustment. Users work seamlessly between the office and the field by utilizing company-wide design styles for ease of use and efficiency. Upload and download to popular data collectors. Spreadsheet editor for raw data with graphics and processing for traverse adjustments. Draw points with styles and in point groups set by point descriptions and draw linework by several flexible methods. Inspect all field-to-finish elements, see description source and re-draw based on descriptions edits. Transform coordinates and screen entities between lat/lon and grid projections as well as local to local by Helmert and least-squares methods. Enter deed by description, read deed data from deed file, deed reports, deed correlation and generate legal description from drawing.

ABViewer
ABViewer is universal software for PC for working with drawings. It enables you to view, edit, convert, measure and print DWG and other CAD files, as well as 3D models and raster images. You can work with a separate fragment of a drawing or, on the contrary, with a group of files. All this at an attractive price! ABViewer allows converting single files or a group of files. Batch conversion provides a wide range of export settings, for example, black-and-white mode, specifying the output file size, etc. The 3D section panel has controls for setting up visual display of 3D models and section planes. The panel is available in the 3D Viewer mode. The commands and options of the 3D Section panel enable to customize 3D model viewing. To display parts of a model, section and gizmo use the settings located at the top of the form. It is possible to create several planes at the same time.

FreeCAD
FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters. FreeCAD allows you to sketch geometry constrained 2D shapes and use them as a base to build other objects. It contains many components to adjust dimensions or extract design details from 3D models to create high quality production ready drawings. FreeCAD is a multiplatfom (Windows, Mac and Linux), highly customizable and extensible software. It reads and writes to many open file formats such as STEP, IGES, STL, SVG, DXF, OBJ, IFC, DAE and many others, making it possible to seamlessly integrate it into your workflow. FreeCAD is designed to fit a wide range of uses including product design, mechanical engineering and architecture. Whether you are a hobbyist, a programmer, an experienced CAD user, a student or a teacher, you will feel right at home with FreeCAD.
