KeyLINES is a UK and Irish road marking software package which allows engineers to produce road markings and traffic management drawings easily in AutoCAD.
It calculates costs and provides a 3D driver’s eye view. The markings in KeyLINES’ library fully comply with both the Irish and the UK's Regulations and Traffic Signs Manuals.
Full support for rich Building Information Models (BIM). Markings and street features include full data and are automatically draped onto Civil 3D digital terrain and road corridor designs to provide fully realistic visualisations.
KeyLINES helped us draw a large volume of road markings from the M1 to the M62 with relative ease, considering we had never used it before, in conjunction with KeySIGN it is a powerful combination.
It quarters the time taken from just using AutoCAD.
Complete UK Lining Drawings
KeyLINES can draw the most complete range of road marking from the UK TSRGD, Traffic Sign Manuals and much more. Tools and functions are built in, to create markings drawing with speed and simplicity.
Complete Irish Lining Drawings
KeyLINES can draw a full range of linetypes from the Irish Regulations. All 'line plus gap' combinations are included as well as Urban and Rural variants, single and double continuous markings. KeyLINES also has a full library of symbols, including arrows, give way triangles, speed roundels and cycle markings.
BIM Data and Attributes
KeyLINES includes BIM attribute information on all markings. More data fields can be added on an individual or category basis to further markings. A data template manager is included so that organisation standards can be quickly propagated around workstations.
Green Transport Strategies
To help with green transport strategies all markings associated with bus lanes, bus stops, cycle lanes and bus or cycle facilities can be drawn.
Traffic Calming
To assist in the design and consultation process KeyLINES has a range of calming features. These include: tapered humps, round top humps, cushions, plateau, speed roundels, coloured and specialist surfacing & village entrance markings.
Waiting Restrictions and other TROs
All types of waiting restrictions and parking bays can be drawn in both a realistic or symbolic way. This means KeyLINES can be used to create Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) plans for consultation and for order implementation.
Complete Junction Markings
KeyLINES has additional extra functions to draw out complete junction markings from one button. These junction markings are tailored for both Irish and UK Road Marking Regulations.
Quantity Extraction
There is no need to spend hours adding up lengths of lines. KeyLINES will produce a table of quantities at the touch of a button.
Standard Drawing Format and Common Staff Skills
KeyLINES works with AutoCAD or AutoCAD Civil 3D to transform your drawing production methods. All the facilities of this world famous CAD package can be used for input, editing and output. The standard output files can be easily and quickly exchanged with other engineering and related organisations. Existing staff knowledge and resources in AutoCAD will be retained and improved upon.
3D Draped Markings for BIM and 3D Visualisations
KeyLINES generates 3D markings on top of Civil AutoCAD surfaces automatically. No extra effort is needed, markings are generated dynamically as you draw and adjust automatically to any editing.
3D Viewing and 3D Furniture
KeyLINES generates a drivers 3D view automatically, without the need for a full Civil edition of AutoCAD. This is useful as a safety audit or consultation tool. It includes 3D features to enhance drawings include buildings, walls, trees, signs and railings
