Creating parametric object types ProSt Z is equipped with a specific environment where it is possible to create or turn fixed type objects into parametric objects, that is objects which can change their shape and size according to some defined parameters. In this environment it is possible to draw one's own object type, for example a wall, create some properties and link them to the different segments of the object; it is possible to create a property called "Wall base" and link it to the segment representing the base of the wall. Assigning a value to "Wall base" parameter, the segment will automatically assume the corresponding length. Moreover, thanks to the programming environment it is also possible to define, for example, the proportion between wall base width and wall height. The object can be saved and become a library object to be used either in the typical sections or directly inside the sections. | | |
| | | ProSt Z is a supplementary module of ProSt S, widening its functions of management and accounting of cross sections. Volume calculation The standard module ProSt S offers a complete management of cross sections and earthwork calculation for any kind of sections: topographic, road, railway, hydraulic. ProSt S management is equipped with a lot of automatic functions, providing easy, flexible and quick solutions but unable to consider all the possible situations that can occur especially in case of very complex works. In fact, section management and accounting (in case of detailed management of information) involve such a wide range of situations that a tool could hardly adapt to them automatically. ProSt Z offers the most advanced and complete solution today available in the market which, allowing personalization by the user, does not impose a limit to the accounting of sections of every kind and size. The core of ProSt Z lies in the definition, absolutely free and manageable by the user, of the list of workings that can be found in the section (terrain, project, | | stripping, terrain recovery, wall, etc.), of the list of quantities required by the accounting (cut and fill, top soil, etc.), of the measure unit (width, area, volume etc.) and of a list of the indications concerning calculation by which the user informs the software about how to use the workings so as to obtain the quantities to be accounted. Once the rules have been defined, ProSt Z performs the elaboration set calculating areas, surfaces, volumes, lengths, quantities, letting you choose the paging-up of the single sections, the tables, the dimensioning, the automatic hatching, the report on earthwork and the paging-up of full pages. All the data inserted, the calculation procedures used and the results obtained are accurately documented, both in the sections drawing and in the reports the tool provides. Up till now, ProSt Z represents one of our leading products and a unique solution in the market. SierraSoft owes to ProSt Z the leadership in the market of software products for cross sections accounting.
