7. TECHNICAL INNOVATION- Eastlink DANDENONG TEAM
• CaddPro- (Drafting Productivity)
• MStn V8 (Standardise CAD Platform)
• Integrated Seamless Environment
• 3D Environment
• Bridges in 3D
• InRoads Smarts
• Storm and Sanitary
• MX “I feel like they are going to take my nail gun away
and replace it with a hammer ”
8. CaddPro Drafting Productivity Gains
• Drafting
– Manages
• Scales for Text, dimensions, title sheets
• Cell libraries for disciplines- eg structural Steel Profiles
• Patterning
• Creation of CAD documents
• Title Sheet Placement and provides tagged data linkage to Excel
• Plotting
– Automates
• PDF Issue and .csv file creation
• Pram Crossing Drafting & Type
• Batter Tic Placement
• Curve Setting Out Data Extraction
• 3D Bridge Modelling
• Resheeting of Roads
9. Adoption of Standard CAD Platform
• Agreed at Outset to adopt MStnV8
• Why?
– Standard exchange of files with VicRoads
– Provides a standardised and controlled environment
– Delivers a user friendly 3D environment
– Provides Superior Referencing and Mapping Power
– Draws from major pool of local drafting resources
– Technical exchange & share of best practice information
– Increased Customisation provides improved drafting power & efficiencies
– Mixed platforms historically proved not to work well
• Conversions are imperfect
• Breaks down the sharing of live data
• Controlled data
• Consumes valuable time due to handling
– Client directed
– It does have the ability to read/ write to ACAD if required but not vice versa
– Proven track record
11. InRoads Smarts
• Provides a seamless 3D CAD design environment
• Advanced Feature Modelling
• Controlled Use of Feature Names
• Horizontal and Vertical Controls for Main for interior
Backbone
• Decision Tables for Exterior Backbone
– By feature xyz
– By Feature xy
– By grade
– By Vertical Alignment
– By Horizontal Alignment
• Feature Editing
• Graphical Based Modelling
• Cross Section and Profile Updating
12. What did not work well
• Project Basis- No Total Document Management System
• Uncoordinated planning packages- Separating The Bridge team
from the Road Design Team
• Non integrated environments- Giving work out to be undertaken in
other packages and then bringing it back
• Giving out bridges to be done in 2D and ACAD
• Lack of ownership and degradation of the survey
• Overuse of Nested Reference Files
• Conversions of Files
13. What worked Well
• Setting up of Project Drafting Standards
• Customization and Configuration of MStn
• Seamless Design Environment- MStn, InRoads and Storm & Sanitary
• 3D Modelling Environment- Road, Walls, Services, Bridges
• Training of ACAD users to MStn
• Issue of 3D Electronic Data for Construction
• Careful selection of qualified staff from outset of the project
14. Bridges in 3D
• Exchange of 3D MStn Files
• Road Surface Defined
• 3D Beams assisted by CaddPro
• Abutment Sills Wingwalls in 3D
• 3D Data Checked back in InRoads
DTMS
• Piles & Abutment Outlines Produced
as non-triangulable features in
InRoads
• Clearance Diagrams Produced
• Isopach Checks Confirmation
