Need Software that Shows Elevation on Contour Lines

[Taccomc]

I am using a Nikon Total Station using Trimble Geomatics Office Software. Currently when I do siteplans I have the elevations marked on the data points and I overlay this with the Contour lines that the TGO software has created. What software allows me to eliminate this layering step? I see other siteplans with the Elevations labeled on the actual contour lines, this is a much cleaner look and what I am trying to achieve.

I can upload files of what my files currently look like and what I am trying to achieve if the above question sounds confusing.

thanks in advance
Mario

Hi:

Autodesk Land Desktop can help to obtain your DTM and Contour labeled on real elevation.

Try Surfer Software

Mario,
If you want to make the investment get your self a copy of Microstation and Geopak. Bentley does a wonderful job with Lieca and Trimble. Most of all the DOT's in the country along with city and county all use it.

MEM1, I mam just curious how well does it work? Have you been using EZYSURF for a long time? How accurate the contours come. What is the range of error with computations (volume and others) compared to other softwares.

I've been using ezysurf for about 3 years. The contours appear to be pretty accurate. Of course the contours are only as good as the survey. As far a volume computations, I had a friend run volumes in LDD and compared them with ezysurf. The volumes came within 300 yards of each other on a 200,000 yard project. I have done a few as built surveys and compared volumes with the orginal estimates. The volumes usually agree pretty well.
