RoadEng Forest Engineer
About RoadEng Forest Engineer
RoadEng Forest Engineer is a civil engineering design software from Softree Technical Systems that focuses on road design for forestry applications. It provides features like 3D mapping and site design, earthwork improvement, and path explorer AI so users can visualize and analyze their projects effectively. Designed for ease of use, RoadEng does not require a CAD platform, which simplifies the workflow for engineers. The software also supports county engineering projects, making it versatile for various types of design needs. Key capabilities: road design 3D mapping earthwork improvement path explorer AI county engineering Best for: civil engineers and planners that need efficient road design solutions in forestry environments.
RoadEng Civil Engineer is a specialized, faster, and more affordable alternative to complex CAD packages like Civil 3D, designed for rural infrastructure projects and busy engineers. It simplifies corridor design by integrating surfaces, cross-sections, and alignments, handling larger data sets without requiring additional CAD software. A major strength is its real-time interactivity, where design changes dynamically update across 3D, plan, profile, and section views, allowing engineers to focus on engineering rather than drafting, ensuring accuracy and efficiency from survey data entry to final output creation. The software is highly user-friendly, with 90% of users requiring no formal training. Key features include Fast Terrain Modelling for creating digital terrain models from large point sets, including UAV or LiDAR data with over 10 million points. Its dynamic template editor provides precise cross-section control for ditches, pavement, curbs, and variable height fill slopes. RoadEng also calculates detailed Earthwork Volumes and construction costs as designs progress, enabling cost-based adjustments and alternative comparisons. RoadEng runs on Windows 7-11, requiring a minimum of 2 GB RAM and 1 GB disk space.
Pros & Cons
- Designed for engineers to quickly learn and efficiently create complex road designs without extensive CAD experience
- Real-time 3D updates across plan, profile, and cross-section views enable immediate visualization of design changes
- Softree Optimal module allows continuous evaluation of earthwork and construction costs to select the most economical design
- Capable of processing large terrain datasets including millions of survey or LiDAR points for accurate modeling
- Flexible export options to DWG, DGN, LandXML, and PDF formats allow seamless sharing with other engineering software
- Complex features like Softree Optimal and AI alignment exploration may require advanced understanding and training
- Large terrain datasets demand significant RAM and processing power, potentially slowing performance on basic hardware
- Advanced AI and optimization tools are only available in newer versions, requiring frequent updates
- Specialization in rural infrastructure may make it less suitable for complex urban road or multi-modal transportation projects
- Full utilization of earthwork and cost optimization features requires accurate construction cost modeling and profile management knowledge
