3D Work Environments Alexa Mitchell, P.E. CADD Support Engineer - MoDOT
3D Work Environments • Processing & Workflow Developments • Archive, Distribution, Viewing Solutions • Issues between 2D & 3D
3D Work Environments • Processing & Workflow Developments • Contract management process is centralized • Annual flight program standard contract • Per project “on-call” contracts (MOU’s) - $100K cap • Focus on deliverables: survey report, DTM’s, 3D geometry, point clouds • Turn-key solution for survey mapping • Quality control done by central office
3D Work Environments • Archive, Distribution, Viewing Solutions • No archival plans at this time • Original data stored in a dedicated network location • District production copy distributed through ProjectWise (Engineering Document Management System). • Viewing solutions – Microstation/(PowerGeopak) civil tools such as point cloud tools & data acquisition tools • Need better solutions – for data storage & distribution (cloud type environment)
3D Work Environments • Issues between 2D & 3D • Resistance to change • Lack of management support • Lack of resources (hardware, software, trained/support staff & funding) • Conflicting priorities within the DOT goals • Limitation of civil design tools • Lack of guidelines and documented best practices • Lack of communication
3D Work Environments • Opportunities… • Outreach to educate the end user • Outreach to train key users • Understand all the needs of everyone involved • Keep being an advocate for change • Work with your software vendor • Work with your consulting community • Showcase projects “paper plans” vs. models • Find support in unlikely places • Be an opportunist
