tcpMDT 26

tcpMDT Standard covers the entire workflow of a surveying project: point import from total stations, GNSS receivers and drones, generation of the Digital Terrain Model with TIN surfaces and meshes, contour lines, longitudinal and cross sections, and cut-and-fill volume calculation. Automatic drawing from field codes, with direct integration with TcpGPS, speeds up the move from fieldwork to the final drawing.

The Standard version also includes complete tools for parcel management, with import and export in GML format, subdivision and merging operations, and cadastral reports. Integration with GIS data —Shape, GeoPackage, KML and WMS/WMTS services— lets you combine survey information with reference cartography, orthophotos and external data without leaving the CAD environment.

tcpMDT Professional adds the tools required for the complete civil engineering project on top of everything above. It includes road design in plan and profile with automatic grade line, and the definition of cross-section templates with platforms, ditches, slopes and pavement layers. Earthwork calculation covers grading, cut-and-fill computations, and volumes broken down by geology type, with detailed measurement reports and construction tracking.

The Professional version also incorporates the design of water, sewer and stormwater networks in plan, profile and cross section, hydrology tools for catchment and drainage network analysis from the digital model, and complete construction setting out. OpenBIM integration with IFC 4.3 lets you export the project to any BIM platform in the industry, with support for object classifications and property sets (Psets) under the buildingSMART standard.

tcpMDT 26 works natively in DWG format, the standard of the CAD industry, and adds support for the main exchange formats: LandXML, IFC, Shape, GeoPackage, GML, KML, GeoTIFF, LAS/LAZ and GeoPDF, among others. It connects to WMS and WFS web map services, and lets you exchange data with field applications for work with GNSS receivers and total stations, and with any BIM platform compatible with IFC. Version 26 also adds support for the MCP protocol, opening up integration with external artificial intelligence assistants such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code or OpenAI's Codex.

tcpMDT is designed so any technician with CAD experience can start working from day one. The interface follows the conventions of the CAD you already use, and the workflow is free: each user can adapt the order and combination of tools to their needs without following an imposed sequence. The program includes a context-sensitive help system that connects directly to the always up-to-date online reference manual, plus an extensive library of training videos, sample projects and detailed technical documentation. Aplitop's technical support is recognized by its customers as one of the product's strengths, with a specialized team and more than 30 years of experience in the industry.
