Features
Everything DrivewayIQ includes
Organised by how driveway design actually happens — from generating a profile through to the drawing you issue.
Profile Generation
Turn boundary and platform levels into a complete gradient profile in seconds.
Auto Profile Designer
Solves a whole profile from three numbers — boundary RL, driveway length, and the garage platform RL you are aiming at.
Boundary and platform RL inputs
Set the fixed level at each end and the solver finds the zones that resolve between them.
Upslope and downslope layouts
The default zone layout changes with the direction of fall — up from the boundary, or down to a sag and back out.
Any driveway length
Enter the length you have. Short crossovers shorten the layout rather than breaking it.
Editable zone matrix
Name, length and gradient for every zone, set by hand when a site needs a layout of its own.
Gradients derived from the rule pack
Default zone gradients are worked out from the pack you select, so the step between adjacent zones stays inside its limit.
Feasibility envelope
Sweeps the platform levels a block can reach before a slab level is fixed, using the same solver that designs the profile afterwards.
Kerb, verge and footpath
Extend the drawing across the crossover so the driveway starts against the grade the street actually finishes on.
Compliance Review
Surface potential issues before they reach a certifier or a site.
Selectable rule packs
Nine packs, including QDC NMP 1.1, the Brisbane, Ipswich and Logan councils, SA and ACT. Everything is checked against the one you select.
Maximum gradient checks
Every zone is measured against the selected pack's maximum, taken from the profile as drawn rather than the numbers typed in.
Rate-of-change checks
The step between adjacent zones, and the worst change over the pack's measuring window, both reported with the limit alongside.
Crossover checked separately
Kerb, verge and footpath grades are checked against the pack's limit for land outside the boundary, which is often the tighter figure.
Entry and garage joins
The join off the street and the join onto the garage platform are each checked as transitions in their own right.
Length budgets on concessions
Where a pack allows a steeper grade only over a limited length, the total is measured across the whole profile, not zone by zone.
Breaches named, not just flagged
Each breach names the zone, the figure and the limit it exceeds, and the profile line changes colour when one is found.
Vehicle Clearance
Test proposed profiles against real vehicle dimensions.
1,116 vehicles
Pick by make, model and year — hatches, sedans, wagons, utes, people movers and SUVs from light to large.
Rolled along the profile
A two-axle model is walked down the driveway with its axles a true wheelbase apart, station by station.
Approach and departure geometry
Front and rear overhang envelopes are built from each vehicle's rated angles, using the tangent construction SAE J689 sets out.
Underbody clearance points
Measured against the lowest published underbody points rather than the headline ground-clearance figure, which is a running spec and not a true minimum.
Occupant load
Add up to five people and an estimated suspension drop is applied — the tail squats, the nose lifts, and the check is re-run.
Where it would touch
The tightest point is reported with its station along the profile and which part of the vehicle it is.
Documentation
Produce documentation your whole project team can work from.
DXF export
True-scale CAD output from 1:1 to 1:500, on named layers — profile, slab, zones, dimensions, points and guides.
PDF export
A clean, shareable profile drawing for review and issue.
PNG, JPG and SVG export
Raster for quick sharing, or the same vector artwork the screen shows.
RL labels
Reduced levels across the dimension band, to as many as three decimal places or as few as none.
Gradient labels
Every zone labelled with its ratio, and optionally its percentage and its name.
Editable title block
Set the drawing title and show the scale note, so the sheet says what this particular profile is.
Control what appears
Toggle individual label rows, linework and annotations, adjust text and line weights, and nudge label groups to suit the sheet.
Projects and Presets
Keep your jobs and your drawing standards on your account, not in a browser.
Saved projects
Every job saved to your account and listed most recently worked on first, each with a thumbnail of its own long section.
Job notes and search
A note on each job, searched alongside its name when you are looking for one you saved months ago.
Export presets
Save the way you want drawings to look as a named preset and load it onto any job. Stored on the account, so it follows you between machines.
Duplicate and rename
Copy a saved job to start a variation, or rename it, without disturbing the original.
Saved and last-edited dates
Every job records when it was created and when it was last changed.
Back up your jobs
Export every saved job to a file and import it again — useful before a big change, or when moving between machines.
Private to your account
Saved jobs and presets belong to the account that made them, and nobody else can see them. Shared company workspaces are not built yet.
