Layout centerlines with automated spiral and circular curve insertions.
The engineer drafts the horizontal road alignment, checks the vertical profile against maximum slope constraints, and extracts earthwork volumes to ensure a balanced site (equal cut and fill). progeEARTH Land Development Suite
[1. Import Survey Data] ➔ [2. Generate TIN & Contours] ➔ [3. Lay Out Roads & Lots] ➔ [4. Calculate Volumes]
Creates smooth, customizable topographic contours at user-defined intervals instantly.
A single seat of AutoCAD Civil 3D currently costs approximately (or ~$2,300 on a three-year plan). Over five years, that is $11,500 for one user. Land development always begins with accurate boundary and
The engineer designs building pads for the houses. The software compares the new flat pads against the natural terrain surface, instantly outputting a report showing the exact balance of cut and fill. Ideal User Profiles
Intel Core i5/i7 or AMD Ryzen equivalent (3.0 GHz or higher recommended).
is a comprehensive, low-cost civil and survey add-on designed for progeCAD Professional . It serves as a specialized toolkit for land surveyors, civil engineers, and architects who require professional-grade coordinate geometry (COGO), digital terrain modeling (DTM), and road design capabilities without the high subscription costs of industry giants.

: Creates Triangulated Irregular Networks (TIN) from points or 3D faces, with fault line and boundary control.
progeEARTH allows for the design of residential and commercial sites. Engineers can layout roadways, parking lots, and building pads. The grading tools allow the user to define proposed surfaces, ensuring proper drainage and site stability. The software dynamically calculates the earthwork required, helping to optimize the design to minimize the movement of dirt—a significant cost factor in construction.
Calculate earthwork quantities (cut and fill) accurately between two surfaces.
