Create contour lines from 3D points

Spatial Manager creates contour lines from selected 3D points in your drawing, making it easier to see the shape of the ground. You can create 2D or 3D contours, set their spacing, and use layers and colors to tell major... more


Create buffers around points

Spatial Manager creates buffer polygons around points to show the area within a chosen distance of each location. This is useful for showing a facility’s service area or finding objects near survey points. You can use the same distance for... more


Create polygons from segments

Automatically identifies intersections between line geometries and creates polygons (closed polylines) from the resulting closed shapes. This powerful tool is ideal for converting complex line networks–such as cadastral boundaries, city blocks, or infrastructure layouts–into practical and editable polygon features. It... more


Points grouped by data to polylines

Groups individual points by their data and connects them to create polylines, either by following their sequence or by using a chosen attribute to define the order. This advanced functionality is especially useful for creating linear elements like paths, routes,... more


Break geometries

Divides geometries that intersect a specified line, effectively splitting them at the points of intersection. This tool is valuable for editing or preparing data for subsequent processes that require segmented features, such as network analysis, land parcel subdivision or infrastructure... more


Convert curves to polylines

Transforms complex curve geometries–including arcs, splines, circles, and polylines with arcs–into polyline objects. This conversion simplifies editing tasks and improves interoperability with both CAD and GIS workflows. It is particularly valuable when preparing data for export or additional modifications within... more
