113. ADAC Schema

114. ADAC Asset – Attributes and Geometry

115. ADAC Geometry
Each ADAC Asset has a Geometry and what that
Geometry is is defined for each ADAC Asset.
ADAC Geometry is one of
•Point
•Polyline – some ADAC Assets allow arcs
•Polygon – some ADAC Assets allow arc

116. ADAC Asset with Point Geometry

117. ADAC Asset Attributes
Each ADAC Asset has Attributes which are totally
defined for each ADAC Asset.

Each Authority will define
•Which ADAC Assets they require
•Which attributes are wanted for each required
ADAC Asset
•What the Geometry for the required ADAC Asset
represents

121. Example of Typical ADAC Asset
Document from an Authority

122. 12d Model and ADAC

123. 12d Approach to ADAC
12d is not interested in just typing in ADAC data and
writing out an ADAC XML file
This is little more than a manual data collection exercise, performed at extra
expense, after the designs or as-built surveys are completed

124. 12d Approach to ADAC
12d is not interested in just typing in ADAC data and
writing out an ADAC XML file
This is little more than a manual data collection exercise, performed at extra
expense, after the designs or as-built surveys are completed
ADAC XML needs a cost effective, holistic solution

125. 12d ADAC Approach– Data Fidelity
• the ADAC Schema is to be completely reflected inside
12d Model so there is no data loss

126. 12d ADAC Approach – Data Reuse
• Maximise data reuse
• Minimise manual editing

127. 12d ADAC Approach – Round Trip
That is:
WRITE OUT an ADAC-XML file from 3d engineering data in 12d Model
and
READ IN an ADAC-XML file and construct 3d engineering data in 12d Model
• Round trip the ADAC data as 3d engineering data

128. Authorities Load into Databases
Eg GIS, Asset DB, 12d

129. 12d ADAC Approach – Integrated Work Flow
Groups having to provide ADAC data will be reluctant to do so if it involves
extra work for no extra fee.

130. 12d ADAC Approach – Integrated Work Flow
Groups having to provide ADAC data will be reluctant to do so if it involves
extra work for no extra fee.
So being able to integrate ADAC into their normal workflow is
essential for the acceptance of ADAC.

131. 12d ADAC Approach – Integrated Work Flow
• Within 12d Model, the collection of the ADAC data is
integrated into the normal design-construct-as-built work
flow
Groups having to provide ADAC data will be reluctant to do so if it involves
extra work for no extra fee.
So being able to integrate ADAC into their normal workflow is
essential for the acceptance of ADAC.

132. How Does it All Work in 12d Model ?

133. Demystifying ADAC using 12d
• 12d-ADAC is driven by the ADAC XML Schema
• A 12d Map File is used to mark 12d strings as ADAC assets
• As many ADAC asset attribute values as possible are
automatically taken from the 12d strings
For example – coordinates, lengths, pit sizes, pipes
• User attributes can be mapped to ADAC asset values

135. Producing ADAC XML in 12d Model
• How a 12d surveyor produces an ADAC XML file
• How a 12d designer produces an ADAC XML file

136. Summarising the 12d ADAC Approach
• ADAC Data Fidelity
The ADAC Schema is completely contained in the 12d attribute structure and 12d geometry so there is no data loss
The 12d ADAC Editors and Validators are driven by the ADAC XSD to minimise implementation errors and
easily code with new ADAC Schemas
• Data is in 3D
• Round tripping - 12d supports both reading and writing ADAC XML files
• Integrated work flow
• Maximise data reuse and minimise manual editing

137. Data Management and Project Collaboration … Simply Easier

138. If any of this sounds familiar:
•“Who has the latest copy of the project file?”
•“Where did I file the documents?”
•“I know I have it somewhere on the C drive…or is it on the network
drive?”
•“What was Bill working on before he walked out last week?”
•“Did you get the drawings reviewed and approved before sending it
to the client?”
•“Oh no! I just deleted the wrong file! I hope I have a backup
somewhere…..”
You need 12d Synergy.

139. 12d Synergy is12d Synergy is
A data management and Project collaboration tool.
That also manages 12d Model projects.
Not just for the Surveying or Civil Consulting offices.
Optimised for the small to large businesses in mind.

•Absolute replaced by
New value usage
•Alias – look at later
•Extension for Chainages
delta chainage
•New Smart Chainages

188. New Smart Start / End Chainages
• Even better Chainage Free Design
V10
V11

189. Smart Chainages – New Modes 1
• Relative to Previous Start chainage
• Relative to Previous End chainage
• Start mode - Relative to Self Start
• End mode - Relative to Self Start
• Lowest dropped chainage of modified string
• Highest dropped chainage of modified string

190. Smart Chainages – New Modes 2
• Relative to Alias Start
• Relative to Alias End

191. Smart Chainages – New Modes 3
• Drop Point to Reference String
• Drop Point to Other String
• Intersection of two strings
• Snippet cut reference with model of strings
• Snippet placed to Model of strings

192. MTF Left/Right Modifiers
• Links can be modified regardless of how they
were originally defined
• Wider choices for modifying
Pos
Reverse curves
Compound parabolas
Sinusoidal, Xfall CRC
Straight line, Circular, Parabola

193. So New Link modifiers
• Fixed =>Link
• Cut =>Link
• Fill =>Link

194. Looking at New Fixed => Link

195. The Link modifier and the relative start & end modes
enable easy width, height or xfall transitions

196. Matching existing Widths, Xfalls and Heights to existing values (Pos)
Pos ->, <-Pos

197. Straight line transitions on approach and departure widenings
Pos -> Pos:Straight line

198. So in MTF Left/Right Modifiers
• Links can be modified regardless of how they
were originally defined
• Hence in each of Fixed, Cut and Fill
one command Link now replaces
at least three from V10
For example in Fixed, Link replaces
Width, Height, Xfall, Xfall CRC

199. In Left/Right Modifiers Create:
The options Decisions, Cut, Fill & Final have
been moved to under a new heading
Template
Why ?

200. New MTF Fixed =>Decisions
• Decisions now exist in the Fixed part of MTF

201. New MTF Fixed =>Decisions
• Decisions now exist in the Fixed part of MTF
and they can then be modified afterwards

202. New MTF Fixed =>Decisions
• Decisions now exist in the Fixed part of MTF
and they can then be modified afterwards
• Fixed =>Decisions can replace the Decisions,
Cut, Fill and Final Cut/Fill buttons on Templates

203. New MTF Fixed =>Decisions
• Decisions now exist in Fixed part of MTF and
they can then be modified afterwards
• Fixed =>Decisions can replace the Decisions,
Cut, Fill and Final Cut/Fill buttons on Templates
• Fixed =>Decisions can replace the Decisions,
Cut, Fill and Final options on MTF Create

204. New MTF Fixed =>Decisions
• Decisions now exist in Fixed part of MTF and
they can then be modified afterwards
• Fixed =>Decisions can replace the Decisions,
Cut, Fill and Final Cut/Fill buttons on Templates
• Fixed =>Decisions can replace the Decisions,
Cut, Fill and Final options on MTF Create
• Fixed =>Decisions are part of the Left/Right
Modifiers section of the MTF file

205. So in Left/Right Modifiers Create:
The options Decisions, Cut, Fill & Final have been
moved off the front of Create and under a new
heading Template because Fixed =>Decisions can
replace them all

206. New MTF Fixed =>Boxing
• Boxing commands now exist in the Fixed part
of Left/Right Modifiers

207. Boxing
Use new layer for boxing strings
For example, Fixed =>Boxing => Insert Intersect

208. New MTF Fixed =>Boxing
• Boxing commands now exist in the Fixed part
of Left/Right Modifiers
• Fixed Boxing can replace using the Boxing
option on MTF Edit (and the Boxing Definition
File)

209. New MTF Fixed =>Boxing
• Boxing commands now exist in the Fixed part
of Left/Right Modifiers
• Fixed Boxing can replace using the Boxing
option on MTF Edit (and the Boxing Definition
File)
• Fixed Boxing is part of the Left/Right Modifiers
section of MTF file

210. MTF Fixed =>Trim

211. New Trim to a Tin modifiers
Tin and Strings to trim Tin and trim (Cut or Fill)

212. Trim sections against a string
New Trim to a String modifiers

213. Shapes, Strings and Trimeshes

214. Shapes
• Shapes can be thought of as being defined in
section by joining user specified points (from any
MTF layer) in a user specified order

215. Shapes, Strings and Trimeshes
• Strings are produced by applying the individual
points in the shape along the reference string
• Trimeshes are produced by applying the shape
along the reference string

216. Shapes, Strings and Trimeshes
So trimeshes are like an extrusions except the position of
the points in the shape can be modified as it is applied along
the string
Trimeshes are solids but unlike traditional solids modelling,
have all the proper Civil tools from the MTF to generate
them

217. Creating Shapes and Trimeshes
• Kerbs
• Pavements
• Trenches
• Footpaths
• Services
• Driveways

218. Overlay, Widening and Infill

219. Barriers

220. Barriers

221. Bridges
