Aplitop: tcpmdt26-leading-civil-engineering-surveying-solution?utm_id=ig

tcpMDT Standard covers the complete workflow of a surveying project: importing points from total stations, GNSS receivers and drones, generating the Digital Terrain Model with TIN surfaces and meshes, contour lines, longitudinal and cross sections, and cut and fill volume calculations. Automatic drawing from field codes, with direct integration with TcpGPS, speeds up the process from fieldwork to final drawing.

The Standard version also includes complete tools for parcel management, with import and export in GML format, subdivision and aggregation operations, and cadastral reports. Integration with GIS data —Shape, GeoPackage, KML and WMS/WMTS services— makes it possible to combine surveying information with reference mapping, orthophotos and external data without leaving the CAD environment.

tcpMDT Professional adds all the tools needed for a complete civil engineering project. It includes road design in plan and profile with automatic grade line, and the definition of typical cross sections with platforms, ditches, slopes and pavement layers. Earthworks calculation covers grading, cut and fill calculations, and volume calculations by geology type, with detailed measurement and construction progress reports.

The Professional version also includes the design of water, sewerage and stormwater networks in plan, profile and cross section, hydrology tools for analysing catchments and drainage networks from the digital model, and complete construction stakeout. OpenBIM integration with IFC 4.3 allows the project to be exported to any BIM platform in the sector, with support for object classifications and property sets (Psets) according to the buildingSMART standard.

tcpMDT 26 works natively in DWG format, the CAD industry standard, and supports 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 allows data exchange with field applications for working with GNSS receivers and total stations, as well as with any BIM platform compatible with IFC. Version 26 also adds support for the MCP protocol, opening integration with external artificial intelligence assistants such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code or OpenAI Codex.

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