Data Prep & Design for 3D Data Prep Affordable… Easy-to-Use… Intuitive Workflow... Carlson Construction is an integrated cut/fill takeoff and 3D surface modeling software solution designed for site and road construction. It offers powerful inspection and 3D viewing tools for elevating 2D designs to 3D model files.
Previously only in Takeoff and Civil, Material Quantities Reports are now available in Construction. This gives estimators the volume, area, length and/or count for items such as asphalt, gravel, curb, or any “subgrade” or “select fill” they define.
Notable new commands in Carlson Construction include added methods to process, reverse the polyline, and to pick the point, plus added support for up to 7 subgrades, a command to color the surface TIN using the color assignments in Define Layer Target, and a method to apply textures to design layers in addition to the colors for viewing in 3D.
Carlson Construction includes powerful tools for designing and modeling different aspects of road design, from new construction to road widening and repaving.
Fully supporting all of the major 3D Machine Control formats for today’s heavy equipment with 3D Machine Control Systems, Carlson Construction gives you the tools you need for taking your data into the 3D environment. Whether your need is “Data Preparation,” “Site Preparation,” or specifically creating Machine Control Guidance Models, Carlson Construction 2019 will get the job done for you.

Carlson 2013-2015* with IntelliCAD 7.2*Starting with 2013 build 130120
- Intel® Pentium® 4 or comparable (minimum), Intel i7 or at least Intel i5 or comparable (recommended)
- Due to the variety of processors on the market, one can use cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php to do comparative analysis
- While the overall processor score matters, the single thread performance is of the most interest
- 32-bit Windows 7-8.1: 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM minimum for, 4 GB recommended
- 64-bit Windows 7-8.1: 2 GB of RAM minimum for, 8+ GB recommended
- Windows Vista: 1 GB of RAM minimum, 4 GB recommended
- Windows XP: 512 megabytes (MB) of RAM minimum, 2 GB recommended
- Graphics card compatible with OpenGL Version 1.4 or higher:
Recommended are desktop graphics level discrete (not integrated cards like Intel HD) graphics cards
- Preferably Nvidia Geforce due to their more consistent driver support
- Discrete ATI/AMD cards will be adequate, but ATI’s driver support has been spotty and user is frequently deferred to the computer manufacturer for support
- Professional Nvidia Quadro cards are not currently recommended due to driver issues
- Powerful gaming cards are not required and probably would not provide as much benefit as investment in more memory or better CPU
- Carlson 2012 and earlier with IntelliCAD 7.1 and 6.x based products
- Windows® XP, Windows® Vista, Windows® 7
- Intel Pentium® or more powerful processor
- 64-bit machines are supported, but application itself is 32-bit
