RockWorks | Utilities | Map | Infrastructure | 2-Dimensional Map
This program is used to read a list of entities such as buildings, roads, tanks, and walls and display them in a plan-view 2D map. The input for the 2D Infrastructure program consists of a text file that contains a series of objects and parameters.
These infrastructure objects can also be displayed as a 3D scene and in cross section diagrams.
