Software Descriptions and Corresponding Seminars

Earthwork 3D

Earthwork 3D is AGTEK's top-of-the-line earthwork quantity takeoff and 3D surface modeling product.  Earthwork 3D's data-entry options include scaled manual digitizing from paper plans and importing DWG, DXF, DGN, and ASCII PNEZ text files (if needed, the ability to import PDF/TIF/JPG files can be added by purchasing AGTEK's PDF Utility).  The Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 seminars thoroughly cover Earthwork 3D's quantity takeoff and 3D surface modeling functions.

SiteModel 3D (Sitework LT)

SiteModel 3D, previously known as Sitework LT, is a limited-function version of Earthwork 3D which allows data entry only by way of importing DWG, DXF, DGN, and ASCII PNEZ text files (if needed, the ability to import PDF/TIF/JPG files can be added by purchasing AGTEK's PDF Utility).  Scaled manual digitizing from paper plans is not supported by SiteModel 3D.  The Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 seminars thoroughly cover SiteModel 3D's quantity takeoff and 3D surface modeling functions.

SitePlan 3D

SitePlan 3D is a limited-function version of Earthwork 3D which allows data entry only by way of scaled manual digitizing from paper plans (importing DWG, DXF, DGN, PDF/TIF/JPG and ASCII PNEZ text files is not supported).  The Day 1 seminar thoroughly covers SitePlan 3D's quantity takeoff functions.  The Day 2 and Day 3 seminars DO NOT apply to SitePlan 3D.

Highway 3D

Highway 3D is a specialized add-on module for Earthwork 3D and SiteModel 3D which provides additional functionality for modeling and quantifying linear earthwork projects (highway, rail, aqueduct, etc.).  Highway 3D allows entry of cross-section, horizontal COGO and vertical COGO data via the scaled digitizing of paper plans, manual keyboard entry and importing DWG, DXF, DGN, ASCII text, and other digital data files (if needed, the ability to import PDF/TIF/JPG files can be added by purchasing AGTEK's PDF Utility).  Our seminars DO NOT address the specialized functions of Highway 3D; however, AGTEK (the software's manufacturer) provides both live internet training and classroom seminar training for the Highway 3D product.

SiteModel-Highway

The SiteModel-Highway product simply bundles the SiteModel 3D and Highway 3D products together (see individual product descriptions above).  The Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 seminars thoroughly cover SiteModel 3D's quantity takeoff and 3D surface modeling functions but our seminars DO NOT address any Highway 3D functions.

Graphic Grade 3D

AGTEK's original Graphic Grade 3D (aka GPS Grade Manager) was a flexible job-site product that included interface options for optical total stations and GPS positioning systems for survey, staking and grade management applications.  AGTEK currently markets a GPS Machine Guidance Graphic Grade product (with GPS BladePilot indicate only and GPS AutoPirate automatic control options).  All these various Graphic Grade products reference 3D surface models created with the Earthwork 3D, SiteModel 3D, and GradeModel 3D products; however, Graphic Grade does not include any reference 3D surface model creation or editing functions.  Although the Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 seminars thoroughly cover creating and editing 3D surface models with Earthwork 3D, SiteModel 3D, and GradeModel 3D (and the Day 2 seminar addresses processing raw survey data that may have been collected with a Graphic Grade system), our seminars DO NOT address any survey or grade control applications using the Graphic Grade products.

SiteModel GPS Manager

SiteModel GPS Manager (aka Grade Pilot) replaced the original Graphic Grade 3D product in July of 2006 and is AGTEK's GPS job-site product for survey, staking and grade management applications.  Like the older Graphic Grade 3D product, SiteModel GPS Manager references 3D surface models created with the Earthwork 3D and SiteModel 3D products; however, SiteModel GPS Manager also includes the reference 3D surface model creation and editing functions of SiteModel 3D (Sitework LT).  Although the Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 seminars thoroughly cover creating and editing 3D surface models with SiteModel 3D (and the Day 2 seminar addresses processing raw survey data that may have been collected with SiteModel GPS Manager), our seminars DO NOT address any survey or grade control applications using the SiteModel GPS Manager product.

GradeModel 3D

The GradeModel 3D product bundles an extended version of SiteModel 3D together with Highway 3D, the PDF Utility, and the haul planning functions of AGTEK's new Trackwork product.  As with SiteModel 3D, manual digitizing from paper plans is not supported by GradeModel 3D and data entry is based on imported digital files.  Although the Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 seminars thoroughly cover creating and editing 3D surface models with GradeModel (corresponding to the identical functions of SiteModel 3D), our seminars DO NOT address GradeModel's new haul planning tools (shared with the Trackwork product described below) and our seminars DO NOT address GradeModel's Highway 3D functions.

Trackwork

By combining field-collected GPS data with a 3D surface model from GradeModel 3D (or Earthwork 3D, SiteModel 3D), the new Trackwork software provides a comprehensive set of haul planning tools and the ability to analyze a project's actual haul production (as documented with GPS field data) verses the originally anticipated haul production.  Our seminars DO NOT address the specialized functions of this new AGTEK product.
