3D Terrain Modeling Software

Complete Terrain Design in 20 Minutes

Cedreo software is the complete tool to easily design a finished lot and house layout.

2D Terrain Plan

Draw the natural terrain in 2D as described by the surveyor and modify it to design the finished terrain and landscape. Import the plot plan ot the surveyors plan, use it as a layer to start modeling the plot and the areas of the finished terrain.

3D Terrain Model

To simplify the design process and increase efficiency, visualize your terrain in 3D while you draw in 2D. At each stage of the layout process, a 3D visualization window allows you to control the layout. Complete the terrain modeling, modify, customize the surfaces and landscaping, and generate 3D renderings in minutes.

Ground Plan

After designing the finished lot, Cedreo allows you to generate a scaled ground plan of the project in a few clicks by adding setback lines and the layout of the building. Automatically calculate the total area of the lot, the footprint, and the open space.

Define the Terrain Areas

Use the features of the “Exterior” steps to define the terrain areas in a few clicks.

• Import of the land plan or surveyor plan
• Trace the plot in a few clicks
• Manage the terrain elevation points
• Draw finished land areas: vegetation, parking, patios…
• Choose between 2 types of elevation: flat or custom elevations
• Manage straight and curved paths
• Automatic curbs and borders
• Automatic cuttings and fills
• Earth retention: embankments and retaining walls
• Land delimitation: hedges and low walls
• Vegetation zones

Time-saving Features for 3D Terrain Modeling

When used as a site plan software, Cedreo’s features are designed to speed up the design phase and allow construction and renovation professionals to provide their clients with a complete project proposal including house plans, site layout, finished lot model, site plan, and project cost estimates.

Import the plan

Import the land plan for the surveyor’s plan in PDF, JPEG, or PNG format and use it as a layer to gain precision and efficiency.

2D & 3D

Your project comes to life in 3D as you draw in 2D. To help with the design process, both 2D and 3D views are displayed simultaneously in your Cedreo space.

Elevation

Easily manage sloping terrain or differences in level by adding elevation points to the terrain.

Embankment

Add automatic sloping to your projects. Change the slope or shape of the slope by moving or adding points

Retaining Walls

Automatically manage retaining walls: add retaining walls, modify their thickness and height, and define the type of retaining wall: horizontal or following the slope of the land.

Outdoor Design

Model the finished lot with every detail by adding exterior coverings adapted to your client’s project, and by designing the exterior in 3D: pool, outdoor furniture, lighting, etc.

Print Plans to Scale

Download the floor plan in PDF format and print it to scale in different formats by customizing the orientation and size of margins.

Surface Area Table

The surface table is generated automatically and can be downloaded with the surfaces of the house projects and all surfaces related to the land (total area, ground surface, open area).

Share Plans

Ideal for teams working on a variety of plans or for sharing projects with a design team. Your plans are stored in Cedreo, ready to be shared and modified at any time.
