GIS Software integrates with entire ArcGIS workflow.September 21, 2007 -
Designed for ArcGIS users, CrossView Earth Surfaces(TM) allows GIS professionals to gain broad and intimate access to geo-spatial terrains and subsurfaces. Integrating geo-data with demonstrative cross-section visualizations, it creates cross-section presentations in minutes. Software unearths spatial information resident within user's existing geo-database, and features topography, microclimates, glacial drainage, and current river valley profiles.

New Software Allows ESRI Users to Make Cross-Section Presentations in Minutes Not Days
DENVER, Sept. 12 -- A-Prime software, a leader in developing ArcGIS plug-in applications, announced today the launch of its new wizard- based platform for ESRI's ArcGIS users. The product, CrossView Earth Surfaces(TM), allows GIS professionals, such as environmental engineers, geologists, mining analysts, planners and construction developers, to gain broader and more intimate access to geo-spatial terrains and subsurfaces. By integrating rich geo-data with simple yet demonstrative cross-section visualizations, CrossView creates powerful cross-section presentations in minutes not hours, saving both time and money.
"Before CrossView, GIS professionals had to deal with the time exhausting process of using outside software to gain a better visual perspective of their work fields," says A-Prime's Vice President Scott David. "CrossView eliminates this learning curve, making the most out of the ArcGIS skills they already have -- which simplifies their workflow and increases overall productivity. By allowing GIS professionals to create cross sections on the fly we hope to streamline a process that takes needless man-hours and ultimately reduce costs for GIS users across the board."
Created by GIS professionals in response to the limitations in ESRI's current mapping platforms, the key to CrossView is its seamless integration with the entire ArcGIS workflow. "It's a completely intuitive program that we hope will make GIS users wonder why it hadn't been there all along," says David. "It unearths the spatial information resident within a user's existing geo-database. Whether it is raster, point, line, or polygon data, CrossView gives users a robust and simple presentation perspective through mapping profiles or cross sections of their ESRI ArcGIS geo-database."
"As a geographer my research field is the Niagara Escarpment in Niagara, Orleans & Munroe Counties of western New York State," says Robert Lord. "I am most interested in its topography, microclimates, glacial drainage and current river valley profiles. CrossView was able to give me more detail from the DEMs that I will be able to use in my classes and in my research."
"Looking at the time I've spent working with other programs that do the same thing and the time wasted by using outside software to get a publishable product, CrossView is definitely worth it to me," says GIS Technician and Hydrogeology Research Assistant, Jay Hanson. "I rate CrossView a 10 out of 10 overall."
CrossView Earth Surfaces is available for only $499 at http://aprimesoftware.com/ or by calling 877-MAP-DOWN.
