Who It’s For?

Designed for Civil Engineers, KeyTERRA-FIRMA Mainstream enables detailed design outputs from survey data. Whether you’re working on highways, pipelines or large-scale site developments, Mainstream turns terrain data into intelligent CAD drawings ready for engineering use.

With powerful horizontal and vertical alignment tools and robust volume modelling capabilities, it’s ideal for road design, infrastructure planning, and surface analysis—whether your project is simple or complex.

Powerful Ground Modeling and Design Tools

Advanced 3D Ground Modeling

Build triangulated surfaces and contour models for accurate representation of terrain features—ideal for infrastructure and site design.

Precision Surfaces and Grading

Define and control surface levels across a site. Produce grading plans for platforms, drainage zones, slopes, and access routes.

Comprehensive Analysis Tools

Run advanced volume calculations, geospatial analysis, and mapping outputs to optimise design efficiency and reduce engineering risk.

KeyTERRA-FIRMA Mainstream​ Features

Advanced tools for 3D ground modeling, volume calculations, and site design – all inside your DWG CAD environment.

Ground Surface Modeling

Create triangulated terrain surfaces using breaklines, boundaries, and elevation data—ready for design and visualisation.

Cut and Fill Calculations

Measure cut and fill volumes between surfaces using TIN-to-TIN analysis or End Area/Simpson method.

Chainage and Stationing Outputs

Generate long sections and output chainage labels for highways, pipelines, or general projects with ease.

Slope and Contour Analysis

Visualise slope direction, steepness, and contour bands using colour-coded gradients to quickly assess topography.

3D Site & Road Design Tools

Design roads, car parks, or plots using horizontal and vertical alignment tools directly in CAD.

BricsCAD® and AutoCAD® Compatible

Runs inside BricsCAD® Pro and AutoCAD® with native DWG support—no external viewers or file conversions required.

KeyTERRA-FIRMA Mainstream​ Benefits

Simplify complex design workflows, reduce risk, and deliver accurate engineering outputs with KeyTERRA-FIRMA Mainstream.

Confident terrain modeling

Build accurate terrain models from survey data. Visualise ground features and define site levels with full design control.

Smarter design decisions

Visualize slope and volume data to guide site layout and drainage planning. Present results to stakeholders with clarity.

Accurate cut and fill reporting

Get fast and clear insights into how much material to remove or import. Use multiple calculation methods for accuracy and compliance.

Design roads and levels with precision

Create alignment-led designs and 3D site grading directly in CAD—saving time on redrafting and avoiding costly rework.

Eliminate manual chainage tasks

Automate chainage labelling and long section outputs. Ideal for roads, railways, or linear infrastructure design.

Keep everything in DWG

No exporting, no file format risks. All design data stays in DWG—ensuring compatibility with your CAD standards and team workflows.
