All Carlson Software

View the complete suite of solutions for land development professionals. Whether your discipline is in data collection, surveying, engineering design or drafting, you’ll find the software solution that exceeds your needs.

Are you in law enforcement or a law consultant? Carlson also offers field and office software for accident and crime reconstruction.

Carlson Survey

Designed to complement land surveying operations & provides a variety of survey features to process data from surface modeling to Least Squares Network Adjustment.

Carlson Civil

Carlson Civil provides the most robust automation and ease-of-use of any civil design solution available today, and it does dynamic updating without a single custom object.

Carlson Hydrology

Comprehensive, yet easy-to-master, Carlson Hydrology provides the automation to meet your hydrology needs and all in the CAD environment of polylines, text, and layers. 

Carlson GIS

With tools for data capture and linking, data labeling, import/export of SHP files, polygon topology creation and analysis, and more, This is a true GIS “Swiss Army Knife” for the surveyor or engineer.

Carlson Point Cloud

Carlson Point Cloud delivers a whole new level of powerful automation for large data sets. It gives laser scanner users the ability to process millions of data points with Carlson Software ease-of-use and also allows users to export surface models, points, contours, breaklines, grid and profiles to CAD.

Carlson CADnet

Carlson CADnet allows users to create CAD from non-CAD documents such as PDFs, raster images, and paper plans. CAD text can also be generated from raster images with CADnet’s built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR).

Carlson GeoTech

Carlson GeoTech provides the ability to import borehole data for analyzing subsurface conditions & material. It will model all core samples and produce a detailed, easy-to-read report for drill logs, cross sections, and plan view.

Carlson Trench

For calculating pipe installations, sewers, & utility lines. Carlson Trench determines the volume of the trench cut, back-fill volume (excluding pipe size), and the linear footage of piping by pipe material, size, and depth.

Carlson Construction

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 tools for elevating 2D designs to 3D model files.

Carlson P3D Topo

Designed for use by surveyors, civil engineers, and contractors, Precision 3D Topo allows users to import survey data, points, polylines, surfaces, point clouds, both traditional LIDAR and aerial drone survey data, and more from a wide variety of programs and entities to create usable 3D surfaces.

Carlson P3D Hydro

Carlson Precision 3D Hydro is a powerful 3D editing software for designing storm-water related systems. P3D Hydro allows drag-and-drop options for strategically placing pipes and culverts and for selecting headwalls and endwalls. It enables the sizing of culverts and delineation of drainage areas, plus tracking of runoff from surface models.

Carlson P3D Drill & Blast

Drill and Blast allows for quick and easy blast pattern layouts, with real time 3D editing and instant feedback. Criteria such as distance from the highwall face, or comparison of design vs. as-drilled hole locations are analyzed the entire length of each hole and color coded warnings indicate if there is a discrepancy.

Carlson CSI Office

Carlson CSI Office is designed with powerful forensic diagramming capabilities to measure and map crime scenes and traffic accidents. CSI is ideal for city and county police departments, State Police and consulting firms engaged in accident reconstruction.

On its own or together with CSI Mobile, CSI Office can effectively and accurately reconstruct crash or crime scenes, complete with full 3D scene viewing.

Carlson CSI Mobile

Carlson CSI Mobile is easy-to-learn and -use crash/crime scene software that utilizes the top data collection technology of Carlson Software, which has been adapted by police professionals for law enforcement’s specific needs.

Carlson Field

Carlson Field enables real-time surveying in CAD on ruggedized PC/laptop omputers. Users can not only collect data in the field, they can accomplish any basic  OGO operation and also any high-level CAD  operation.

It is also possible to stakeout building corners, lot corners, or any CAD  feature by “snapping” to the CAD entity—without creating point numbers.

Carlson Simplicity Sight Survey

A Windows-based coordinate geometry program, Simplicity provides simplified methods for solving commonly encountered coordinate geometry and construction surveying problems.

It can also run without a CAD application, giving its users ultimate flexibility in a COGO program.

Carlson Survey GNSS

Carlson Survey GNSS post-processing software is a reliable and precise tool for all post-processing applications and is tightly integrated into the Carlson field and office workflow.

For surveyors and positioning professionals looking to achieve centimeter accuracy when working on the edge of their RTK infrastructure, perform sub-centimeter positioning, and/or provide the highest quality assurance to their customers, Survey GNSS is the solution.

Carlson iCAD

Carlson iCAD is an affordable CAD program that is .dwg file based & built with IntelliCAD®. In addition to the full-featured CAD functions of IntelliCAD, Carlson iCAD includes many handy drafting and annotation commands from Carlson Software such as Polyline Utilities & Auto Annotate and is designed to fit into your production workflow.

Carlson iCAD allows drafters to finish drawings and engineers to review drawings.

Carlson SurvPC

There’s a reason surveyors make Carlson their first choice in data collection software. SurvPC (for Windows) and SurvCE (for Windows Mobile) combine advanced functionality, ease-of-use, and cutting-edge features with excellent service and award-winning technical support.

Carlson SurvCE

Both SurvCE and SurvPC support the widest range of popular and newly released RTK GPS and conventional and robotic total stations, putting the power of Carlson’s in-field coordinate geometry at your fingertips.

Carlson Layout

Carlson Layout is a streamlined, Android™ based solution that delivers fast, efficient layout capabilities to construction professionals using total stations or GPS receivers such as the Carlson CR+ series of robotic total stations and the Carlson BRx7 GNSS receiver.
