Professional Software Since 1983

PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE SINCE 1983.
At Foresoft we have been producing Professional Software Solutions for Civil

Designers, Land Surveyors & Geologists since 1983.
We hope one of the following solutions will help you improve your efficiency
and profitability.
CDS (CIVIL DESIGN AND SURVEY)
Latest: We now have an option to take a 'lite' version of your job into the
field on your Android device.

Survey and Cogo:

Intelligent 2D & 3D Coordinate Geometry calculations to improve your
design efficiency. It's Versatility will assist you with Title Surveys,
Subdivision Design or Construction Site Design & Layout.
Model:
Terrain Modeling with Contours and Volumes. Interpolate Sections across any
Model. Shade models by height and slope. 'Blend' models to create 'as-built'
model simply.
Road:
Design Roads. whether rural, urban, or highways using either section
templates or design strings. Also used for other regular structures such as
airfields, channels, conveyors, railways etc.
EZIGRADE:
Designed for the farmer or land contractor. Ezigrade offers a simple and
effective solution for Agricultural Land Grading and Land levelling.
Calculate a best fit single plane design or best fit multi-plane design.
Alternatively you can calculate a land levelling solution by entering minimum
amd maximum row and cross slope constraints. Optionally enter minimum or
maximum field RL's. The surface produced can result in much lower volumes
than a planar solution. Optionally smooth the surface produced. This can be
done as part of a multi-section design.

Leverage CDS and create drains, ring dams, farm roads etc on the graded
surface just created.
CIVIL DESIGNS TO TRIMBLE FIELD LEVEL II (MULTIPLANE)

FORMAT
Let us transform your Civil Design (in DWG or LandXML) into Field Level II
Format.
Price is $200. Pay after your design is tested. Click above to get lodgement
instructions.
PROLOG:
Borehole logging just got a whole lot easier - simplified entry using your own
templates means you get finished sooner, and Graphic Logs displayed as you
go removes the errors.
Prolog comes supplied with a number of predefined templates. It also
includes a template for the new Australian CoalLOg standard. Ensure your
data is consistent with what the major Geological databases require.
EZICONTOUR:
Simplified - recreational software for creating maps and contoured surfaces.
Includes digitizing - both from sketch pad and onscreen. Export your map to
"Google Earth". Create 3D views and drape bitmaps.
EZIFIELD:
Designed for the field - with an inbuilt interface to GPS, Total Stations &
Digital Levels, Ezifield brings your desktop jobs into the field on WindowsCE
based pocket computers. Avoid costly mistakes - see exactly what you
collect as you collect it.
EZIPILE:
A CAD program designed to help design Pile layouts for buildings
Once designed - survey the actual placements. Ezipile shows graphically on
the screen any out of tolerance piles. Produce a written report.
Uses Ezicad as the CAD base.

To view any of the Movies, simply select the relevant link below. Please
use the 'Back' button on your browser to return to this page when you
have played the Movie. We suggest that you are using a broadband
connection. They take up a large bandwidth.
More movies are being added all the time. Please check back.
Please note that Ezicad and CDS used to be the same program - just
different names. The movies were made with version 1.07 of the software;
so there could be minor differences. Please check with written tutorials if not
sure.

Collect
CDS interfaces with data collectors and total stations from all leading manufacturers to ensure
speedy and efficient processing of the field data you collect.
You can establish your own feature code library to separate data into layers, making
management simple.
Data from other parties is quickly incorporated, either by importing drawings in industry standard
DWG or DXF format, or by transferring coordinated points in ASCII format.
Calculate
Gives you a full range of Cogo tools to allow any layout, from a simple traverse, to a subdivision,
to footing details to be designed quickly, in 3D if necessary.
Traverse entry with side-shot & radiations and closure & adjustment.
Intersections by two bearings, bearing and distance, two distances etc.
Curves with circular & spiral/transition routines.
Areas including hinge/parallel adjust to defined area
Road Layout allows you to automatically calculate and store side strings from a finished
alignment.
Interchanges & road junctions are easy to handle.
Inverse/stakeout calculations that produce either a printed report or data collector files
for field set out.
Contour
CDS allows you to model surfaces from random points, form contours, produce annotated
contour plans, interpolate profiles and sections and calculate volumes. You may select the
points you need from the database by any combination of point number, height, point code or
layer, or you can define windows or polygons of interest on the screen using the mouse. The
points you select are assigned to a particular surface, and you can use multiple surfaces within
the one job for maximum processing flexibility. Volumes, either between surfaces or using
average end areas, can be easily produced, whether on a simple stockpile, a large scale bulk
earthworks project, or a road or utility project.
Analyze
CDS uses a 3D+ database customdesigned for the storage of spatial data used in engineering
and survey tasks. Sophisticated routines are provided to allow you to select the required data
using multiple overlapping search keys. Quality Assurance routines allow you to compare field
points against their design position with reporting for those out of tolerance either in position or
height Models formed in CDS can also be viewed in 3D and shaded or colored according to
height or slope ranges to allow simple slope analysis.
Adjust
Traverses, whether closed loops or open ended, can be adjusted with a variety of methods
including Bowditch, Compass , Crandal & Least Squares. Selected points can be cut and
pasted, rotated, translated,transformed or altered as needed to ensure the data works the way
you want it to. Height adjustments can be performed on all or some of the points in a database.
Automate
Commonly used designs, in both 2D and 3D, can be stored as Structures and inserted into
new projects to save time and avoid mistakes. Street intersections, road side strings and cul de
sacs can all be calculated automatically once you specify the parameters. Design Surfaces can
be contoured, and merged with natural surfaces where needed to allow you to produce As
Constructed drawings easily and automatically. Design pads or platforms can be automatically
adjusted to achieve balanced earthworks.
Design
You can design in either 2 or 3 dimensions using the tools that CDS provides. Housing
subdivisions and industrial estates are typically laid out in a 2D arrangement and then the roads
and other utilities servicing them are designed in 3D.
CDS facilitates 3D design by letting you combine the following:
individual point calculation at grade
string grading including vertical curves
templates with ezi-sense that reacts to changing ground conditions according to

parameters specified.
Draw
CDS allows you to produce the following:
plats
subdivision layouts
annotated contour plans
profiles and section drawings

directly to any Windows printing device.
