The software allows for the construction of complex topographic and cartographic surveys. It can model vast landscapes and provide accurate mapping data.
One of the software's unique features is the use of triangulation instead of generating an orthogonal grid, which is not always practical for modeling terrain. Users can model two surfaces simultaneously for easy comparison and input data using different methods, including the keyboard, graphic tablet, field survey, or ASCII file.
The software also provides users with full control over the model using the mouse to impose interactive breaklines. It automatically computes areas, volumes, and slope differences using a specialized calculator. Users can alter the land model through simulated land movement, and the software renders all changes in real-time continuously in a 3D view.
Nonio C supports plug-in renderers for enhancing rendering and importing textures to QuickDraw 3D view for simulation purposes. Using the mouse and the keyboard, users can easily control movement throughout the model. The software allows users to export the 3D window in QuickTime VR Object format for making films using other applications.
Furthermore, the software is capable of importing land models to architectural programs like Domus.Cad or Graphisofts ArchiCad, where an architectural model may be placed directly on it.
Nonio C boasts several key features such as supporting documents up to 500,000 points, the ability to import in XYZ ASCII, DWG 3D, DXF 3D and QuickDraw 3D MetaFile formats, and exporting in multiple formats such as Domus.Cad, GDL, QuickDraw 3D MetaFile, DigiCad, DXF 2D and 3D, DXF Polygon, and Facet formats.
The release features improvement and correction of some functions including raster images modification (rotation, scaling, resolution, colors, and transparency), Z moving of the selected points, and correction of map deformations.
Nonio C is a must-have software for anyone needing to model large topographic and cartographic surveys accurately, easily, and quickly. It is supported on Power Macintosh, System 9.2, Mac Os X 10.2, or later.
