Survey Office reads what your instrument writes, reduces it, adjusts it, builds the surface and draws the plan — on your own computer, without a subscription to anything you do not use.
Windows desktop application. Works offline in the field.
One program for the whole job, rather than three that half-talk to each other.
GSI, SDR, FBK, JXL, RW5, RWD, 12da, LandXML, DXF, CSV, shapefile, GPX and KML. Raw observations come in as a fieldbook you can re-reduce, not just as coordinates.
Layers, annotation, symbols and line styles, object snaps, field-to-finish coding, and the editing tools you would expect — trim, extend, offset, fillet, arrays, hatching.
COGO, curve solver, traverse adjustment, resection, Helmert localisation and a full least-squares network adjustment in 1D, 2D or 3D, with data snooping and a report.
TIN with breaklines, contours, spot levels, long and cross sections, catchments, and cut and fill against a design surface or a datum.
MGA on GDA2020, GDA94 ⇄ GDA2020 including the NTv2 distortion grid, scale factors and grid convergence, ground ⇄ grid. Every engine is tested against published values.
Multi-sheet layouts, schedules of lines and arcs and coordinates, bearing and distance annotation, title blocks, and printing that matches what is on screen.
Aerial imagery, the cadastre, road names and SCIMS survey marks, straight from NSW Spatial Services, underneath your own work.
Reference layers are for context. A coordinate or height quoted on a plan still has to come from SCIMS Online, which is what issues the transaction number — Survey Office will not pretend otherwise, and never turns someone else's data into survey data.
A licence checks in when it can and keeps working when it cannot, so a fortnight in the bush is a fortnight of work, not a lockout.
Sign in on the office machine or the field laptop. A single licence follows you — signing in on one signs out the other.
Your drawings stay on your computer. The only thing that talks to us is the licence.
A full trial, no card. Open one of your own files and see whether it reads it properly.
