12d Model Input/Output

12d® Model™ offers comprehensive input /output options for transfer of data with third party packages.

ArcView Shape Files Input/output

The ArcView module will read ArcView shape, shx and dbf files into 12d® Model™. The mapping of any attributes found in the ArcView file can be specified by the user.

Because the ArcView shape format has no string name, colour, model or layer information this data can be passed as attributes when writing data from 12d® Model™ to ArcView files.

DWG/DXF Input/output

The DWG/DXF reader recognises most AutoCAD entities, including blocks, and makes appropriate interpretation in terms of 12d® Model™elements. The DWG/DXF output module write out plots, three dimensional data and triangles in DWG/DXF format.

Genio Input/output

The Genio input/output module is used to read and write Moss GENIO data files. The Genio reader recognises the two default Genio input formats (version 6 and 7) and the Genio options 001 and 003 used for format variations. Moss free format (using commas and the "field-number = "syntax) is allowed. 2d, 3d, 4d, 6d, and G Strings are recognised (with names preserved) as well as triangulations. Genio models can be read directly into 12d® Model™ models, or the genio data can be mapped with users defined models, colours, breakline type and linestyles.

LandXML Input/Output

LandXML is a developing standard for transferring some geometric data between software packages. 12d® Model™ endeavours to support this evolving standard.

MapInfo Mif/Tab Input/Output

The MapInfo module reads MapInfo Mif/MID or Tab files into 12d® Model™. The mapping of attributes in these files is under user control.

Microstation (dgn) Input/Output

The Microstation input/output module is used to read specific information from a Microstation .dgn file and to write out plots, three dimensional data and triangles directly to Microstation .dgn files.

Geocomp Input

The Geocomp reader reads and interprets the data contained in the Geocomp points and strings files. 12d® Model™ macros are also provided to read Geocomp lot files.

CivilCad Input

The CivilCad reader reads and interprets the data contained in the CivilCad ascii file format. Both Version 4 and Version 5 CivilCad ascii formats are supported.

SDRMap & Design

The SDRMap & Design reader allows existing SDRMap & Design users to import their existing data into 12d® Model™.
