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, ASCII, and other digital data file formats.  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, ASCII, and other digital data files (scaled manual digitizing from paper plans is not supported).  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, ASCII, and other digital data 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, and other digital data files.  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.

Graphic Grade 3D

Graphic Grade 3D (also known as GPS Grade Manager) is an older AGTEK field product that interfaces with optical total stations or GPS positioning systems for survey, staking and grade management applications.  AGTEK also markets a GPS machine control version of Graphic Grade (including GPS BladePilot and GPS AutoPirate options).  All these various Graphic Grade products reference 3D surface models created with the Earthwork 3D and SiteModel 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 and SiteModel 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 (which replaced Graphic Grade 3D in July of 2006) is AGTEK's new GPS field 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

AGTEK's new GradeModel 3D software is essentially an extended version of SiteModel 3D and Highway 3D combined, but with the addition of some impressive new haul planning and analysis tools.  GradeModel 3D is the 3D surface model creation and editing product intended to be used in conjunction with AGTEK's new Trackworks product (see below).  Although the Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 seminars thoroughly cover creating and editing 3D surface models with SiteModel 3D, our seminars DO NOT address the new haul planning and analysis tools of the GradeModel 3D product and they DO NOT address the specialized functions of Highway 3D.

Trackworks

AGTEK's new Trackworks software analyzes actual haul production data against the anticipated haul production that was initially planned for the project.  Our seminars DO NOT address the functions of this new AGTEK product.
