AutoCAD

AutoCAD can be defined as the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, optimisation of a design. It is most commonly used for creating and modifying 2D & 3D designs for professional drawing with detailed measurement information about the conceptual design and layout.

Adobe Creative Cloud CC

A collection of software used for graphic design, video editing, web development, photography, along with a set of mobile applications and also some optional cloud services.

Digimap

Digimap is a web-based service delivering digital map data and high-quality cartographic products. Digimap primarily comprises two applications, one for creating maps online, the other for downloading data which enables further analysis and investigation in other packages

Google Earth

Google Earth is a computer program that renders a 3D representation of Earth-based primarily on satellite imagery. The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS data onto a 3D globe, allowing users to see cities and landscapes from various angles.

QGIS

Geographic information system (GIS) software, allowing users to analyze and edit spatial information, in addition to composing and exporting graphical maps.

SketchUp.png
