Intuitive and Fast User Interface

Mouse driven interface with keyboard and toolbar shortcuts.

Create elements instead of nodes first.

Full GIS interface (zoom, pan, zoom window).

Distance operators on nodes (eg readily place nodes at a certain distance from other nodes).

Full functioning, multiple level undo feature increases flexibility of net refinement.

Wide range of element refinement tools with full control over split/refinement direction and auto cleaning of adjacent elements,

Full GIS Support

Build your model network with rich GIS datasets as a backdrop

- visualising the source Digital Elevation Model (DEM)

- aerial photography (JPG, TIFF, GeoTIFF, BitMap, ECW, MrSID, JPEG2000)

- GIS layers (MapInfo, ESRI, AutoCAD, MicroStation, Google Earth KML)

Full Support For Digital Elevation Models (DEMs)

- visualise and interrogate a DEM(s) as you build your model network

- rapidly assign elevations to your network (all nodes, selected nodes, only nodes without an elevation etc)

- compare the network approximation to the source DEM

- Utilise raster (grid) or TIN (triangulated irregular network) based DEMs

- Import existing DEM's from: 12D, MapInfo Vertical Mapper, ESRI Grid, ASCII Grid, Idrisi, ERDAS Imagine Grids)

- Create your own DEMs from raw datasets

Spend Less Time Adjusting Settings and More Time Building Quality Networks

Adjustable levels of contouring "translucence" allow you to see your airphoto through your network or DEM contouring.

Advanced Tools to Enhance Efficiency

Advanced tools such as;

- Automatic network generation through triangulation of existing or imported nodes with full control over which nodes are used in the triangulation.

- Linear transitioning of selected node elevations from a starting value to a finishing value.

- Moving selected nodes as a group

- automatic network cleaning

Visual Feedback From Interface

Node setting/node movement are all screen operations.

Full control over node and element labelling including label colour and number format (eg number of decimal places).

Thematic Mapping Capability

Thematic colouring of element ordering and network elevation.

Colour ranges can be specified through colour pallettes.

Time Saving Network Building Tools

Automatic creation of transition network blocks that transition from one element block to another taking into account variable block dimensions, shape, orientation and net density.

Facilitates rapid transitioning from coarse to fine network geometry.

Custom element blocks provide flexibility for adjusting the edges of your element blocks.

Rapidly Specify Properties of Nodes/Elements

Advanced graphical editing facilitates rapid editing of the properties of nodes and elements, individually or in groups.

Select elements/nodes, right click and process nodes/elements as a group or sub group (eg nodes without elevations or elements without material types only).

Select nodes/elements individually, using rectangle or polygon fences, or using SQL on node/element properties.

Full Control Of Display Options

Manage supporting GIS layers position, colour, visibility, line styles etc.

Reads SMS image files and SMS network files.  Hence SMS users can take advantage of the network building features of RMAnet.

Error Checking

Detailed error checking and visual tools help you locate problems with your network setup.

DEM Management

Access multiple DEM's in your project graphically.

Readily adjust DEM thematic mapping parameters.

Add/Remove DEM's from your project

Adjust visibility of DEM layers.
