Trimble Novapoint Help
Novapoint Road Signs offers the capability to generate both 2D and 3D plan views. The foundation of a 3D plan is a 2D plan, ensuring that the core functionalities remain consistent across both formats. This means that whether you're working in 2D or 3D, the fundamental tools and operations for creating and manipulating road sign plans will be the same.
The software provides a seamless transition from 2D to 3D, allowing users to start with a 2D plan and then elevate it to a 3D plan that can be stored to Quadri.
2D plan
The user only deals with the dwg file in their CAD software.
3D plan
To effectively create and manage a 3D plan, it's essential to interact with both the dwg file within your CAD software and the project data model within the Quadri environment. These two components work in tandem to provide a comprehensive 3D planning solution.
Road sign data must be stored within the Quadri environment on a dedicated task type designated for road signs and can be visualized in a 3D environment using the Quadri for Windows application.
This integration allows users to:
View Road Signs in Context: See how road signs appear in relation to the surrounding road infrastructure, aiding in sign placement and design.
Check Sight Lines and Visibility: Assess the visibility of road signs from different driver perspectives within the 3D model.
Identify Potential Conflicts: Spot potential conflicts between road signs and other elements within the road environment.
Simulate Driver Experiences: Navigate through the 3D model to experience how road signs are perceived by drivers.
Overall, the combination of Quadri's data storage capabilities and the 3D visualization in Quadri for Windows provides a powerful tool for managing and analyzing road sign data.
