Starting

Road 3D is a program used to stake out points or for as-built checks relative to a road
alignment, including slopes. It supports the following features:
• Horizontal alignments with the elements straight, curve, and spiral (entry and exit
as well as partial).
• Vertical alignments with the elements straight, curve and quadratic parabola.
• Upload of horizontal and vertical alignments which are in gsi data format of Instru-
ment Tools Road Line Editor.
• Creation, view and deletion of alignments onboard.
• Use of design height of vertical alignments or manually entered heights.
• Log file via Format manager of Instrument Tools.
Road 3D has the following subprograms:
• Subprogram Check
• Subprogram Stake
The program can be trialled 15 times. After 15 trials, it is necessary to enter the licence
code.
1. Create or upload road alignments.
2. Select horizontal and/or vertical alignment files.
3. Define stake/check/slope parameter.
4. Select one of the Road 3D subprograms.
• The alignment file data has to be in the same data structure as Instrument Tools
Road Line Editor. These gsi files have unique identifiers for each element which are
used by the program.
• The alignments must be continuous because geometrical gaps and chainage equa-
tions are not supported.
• The file name for the horizontal alignment file must have the prefix ALN, for
example, ALN_HZ_Axis_01.gsi. The file name for the vertical alignment files must
have the prefix PRF, for example PRF_VT_Axis_01.gsi. File names can be 16 charac-
ters long.
• The uploaded or created road alignments are permanent and stored even if the
program is closed.
• Road alignments can be deleted onboard or via Instrument Tools Data Exchange
Manager.
• Road alignments cannot be edited onboard. This needs to be done via Instrument
Tools Road Line Editor.
• Subprogram Check Slope
• Subprogram Stake Slope
