GeoDin

GeoDin and Autodesk partnership 

The GeoDin and Autodesk partnership developed GeoDin Ground, a Civil 3D plug-in that addresses the challenges faced by design teams and geotechnical engineers. It provides clearer insights into subsurface conditions directly within Autodesk's tools, helping reduce over-engineering and unnecessary borehole drilling.

GeoDin Suite for a complete geotechnical workflow 

• GeoDin Onsite for accurate, digital geodata capture on-site.
• GeoDin to manage, analyze, and visualize your geodata.
• GeoDin Ground (Civil 3D App) to build, visualize, and edit ground models within Autodesk Civil 3D, from a GeoDin database or your own AGS files.

Key benefits of GeoDin 

• Secure data management-Manage all borehole data with flexible imports (Excel, CSV, databases) that meet international standards.
• Instant calculations-Transparent, pre-built formulas and templates, with the flexibility to create custom workflows.
• Professional outputs-Technical drawings, cross-sections, reports, and spatial visualizations in any client-required format.

GeoDin Ground Autodesk Civil 3D app 

• Boreholes in Civil 3D-Visualize color-coded lithological layers directly in Civil 3D.
• Adjustable surfaces & volumes-Draw surfaces and volumes between boreholes, turn layers on/off, and see exact volumes.
• Attached documents-Access technical documentation directly within the model.
• Virtual logs-Gain subsurface insights without additional drilling by "pinching" through the model at any location.
• AGS import-Load AGS files (versions 4.0.1 and 4.1.1) directly into Civil 3D, without needing a GeoDin database.
• Layer Interpreter-Merge similar layers and assign standard lithology codes (AGS, EN ISO, SEP3, G1), without changing the original field data.

These integrated capabilities optimize resource usage, reduce unnecessary drilling, and enable more efficient, environmentally conscious design decisions.

Free and paid options

GeoDin Ground is free to use with a GeoDin database, your own or one shared by a project partner. A GeoDin Ground subscription adds AGS import and the Layer Interpreter, so you can build ground models from your own files. Two subscriptions are available, Standalone and Ecosystem.
