171h Top: Covadis

This query likely refers to Covadis 17.1, a popular topography and civil engineering software for AutoCAD. While "171h" isn't a standard software module, it likely refers to a project code or a specific survey time (17:00h).

3. Typical Workflow

  1. Gather data: GNSS/total station measurements, point clouds, existing DWG base.
  2. Import data into Covadis (use correct coordinate system and units).
  3. Clean and classify points: remove outliers, assign point codes/types, add breaklines.
  4. Build DTM/TIN and refine with breaklines/exclusions.
  5. Generate contours, profiles, and cross-sections.
  6. Design alignments and apply corridor templates for roads/drainage.
  7. Calculate earthworks and volumes (cut/fill), generate mass-haul diagrams if supported.
  8. Annotate drawings, prepare stakeout files and reports.
  9. Export deliverables (DWG, LandXML, PDF, CSV, stakeout formats).
