RoadEng Civil Engineer: Easier, faster & more affordable alternative to Civil 3D, built for rural infrastructure projects.

Faster, lighter, easier and specialized for the design of rural infrastructure, RoadEng significantly speeds up the corridor design process. Built from the ground up to work with surfaces, cross-sections, and alignments, RoadEng handles larger data sets in ways other civil design software cannot.

No additional CAD software required. You don’t need to struggle with complicated and expensive CAD software. No need to learn and re-learn complicated software for complex highway interchanges and other things you don’t do.

Fast Terrain Modelling

Quickly create digital terrain models (TIN) from almost any topo data, including large point sets (like UAV or LiDAR data) with over 10,000,000 points. Create contours, labels, and customize your display with slope vectors, and color shading for slope, aspect, and elevation. Selectively thin and control your survey data.

Dynamic Cross-Section & Template Control

RoadEng’s flexible template editor allows you to assemble typical sections using a library of customizable components. Account for ditches, pavement, sub-base materials, varying lane widths, cut slopes, variable height fill slopes, curbs, sidewalks etc.

Visualize the template in typical sections (or at a specific station) prior to implementing in your design.

Earthwork Volumes & Costs As You Design

Get your detailed earthwork and material volumes, as well as the sub-grade construction costs. With earthwork costing data as you design, you can adjust your design based on cost. Compare costs for design alternatives. Know preliminary construction costs before you build.

Culvert Design

RoadEng includes two primary methods for the design of culverts, cross drains and fish passages. Add simple culverts using the culvert editor panel in RoadEng's Location Module. Culverts can also be designed in more detail using multiple alignment functionality.

Output & Sharing

Easily share and showcase your design with Multi-Plot Report Builder. Print out plan, profile, and cross-section data as one document. Simplify your presentation of deliverables with single document control.

Output sheets interactively update with your design. 

Easily output and share with other programs. RoadEng and Softree Optimal both work alone, or it can integrate into other CAD or GIS-based engineering systems. Easy export to machine control through LandXML.

“I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ROADENG TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A USER-FRIENDLY ROAD DESIGN PACKAGE.

In Mahnomen County, our problem has been finding a road design software package that is simple enough for our technicians to learn and retain after a season of being in the field, but that is also powerful enough to do the things that we need to accomplish in our road designs.

Our Engineering Technicians find it easy to learn and use, and the quantities generated by the program have been very accurate. The other thing I have been very pleased with is the technical support for the program. The group at Softree has been very quick to answer any of our questions and have been great to work with. "

-- Jonathan Large, P.E., County Engineer, Mahnomen County, Minnesota MN
