DRAFTING & VISUALISATION
We provide a comprehensive drafting service, specialising in cartographic drafting

We provide a comprehensive drafting service, varying from high-accuracy structural and mechanical plans through to cartographic maps.
Third-party data sets very useful sources of information, generally, they have a generic purpose but can be manipulated to satisfy specific criteria, this data can be used in preliminary planning and assessment of your projects.
Cross Solutions can provide you with both hard and soft copies that give you the ability to properly assess and represent your projects.
So please touch base with us if these services can help you.

DRAFTING & VISUALISATION WITH A DIFFERENCE
Providing clean and concise drafted deliverables is the crucial final step to completing a project. Particularly for complex jobs, the skills of a cartographer are critical to ensure that any plans cannot be misinterpreted and that the “ease of viewing” is quick information and clear. While Cross Solutions regularly uses Autocad Civil 3D and Arc GIS, we can also transform these data sets into any format that suits your software package, whether its 12d, Civil CAD, Microstation or LisCAD.
Although CAD & PDF deliverables are common we also exceed industry practise by providing online pointcloud viewers, interactive 3D PDF’s for modelling, as well as render video fly-throughs of your project.
All of these ensure you have the best understanding of site conditions but with ease of viewing it while in your office.
OUR EQUIPMENT & SOFTWARE USED ON DRAFTING & VISUALISATION
Great survey in the field doesn’t provide its true value, unless the information can be correctly and concisely conveyed when put into plan and paper. Our team of experienced drafters have at their disposal a range of drafting tools and software to ensure we provide the best final products.
AutoCAD Infrastructure Design Collection, including AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil3D, AutoCAD Map, Navisworks, Infraworks and Recap.
LisCAD Advanced for non-Leica raw data-type conversions
3ds Max for Animation and Photo-realistic Renderings
Unreal Engine with Datasmith for real time visualisations.
