This professional CAD and surveying software is designed for:

  • Land Surveyors & Geomatics Professionals performing property plotting, subdivision design, surface modeling, and GNSS/total station data post‑processing 

  • Civil Engineers & Construction Contractors designing roads, corridors, trenches, and machine control files for heavy construction projects 

  • Site Preparation & Earthwork Specialists creating 3D terrain models, calculating material quantities, and preparing data for machine control and grade checking 

  • Construction Managers generating finished CAD drawings from survey data and managing field‑to‑office workflows 

⚡ Key Features & Capabilities

 

???? What’s New in Version 10.1

Version 10.1 focuses on stability, data import/export correctness, and compatibility with modern CAD/BIM environments. According to the official release notes (December 2025) , key improvements include:

Feature Area Improvement
DTM Merge Fixed merging of three or more digital terrain models
GeoTIFF Fixed flipped GeoTIFF images when used as backgrounds
PDF Import Improved vector import from PDFs without layers, including files containing a dot (.) in their name
PNG Support Added support for transparent PNG images (alpha channel) as background layers
Average Level Calculation Restored Design > Average Level calculations to the logic used in version 9
Help System Added Chinese language help documentation

????️ Core CAD & 3D Terrain Modeling

  • Import survey data and site plans to create accurate 3D digital terrain models

  • Build triangulated irregular networks (TINs) and contour maps from raw survey points

  • Merge multiple DTMs to combine data from different sources or project phases 

  • Export 3D models directly to machine control systems (3D‑MC), GNSS rovers, and grade checkers 

????️ Site Prep Module – Road & Corridor Design

  • Road and highway design with horizontal and vertical alignment tools

  • Corridor modelling for complex earthworks and linear infrastructure

  • Trench and intersection design with automated material quantity calculations

  • Pavement design including overlay design for road rehabilitation projects

  • Material takeoffs – calculate cut/fill volumes and visualize material distribution 

???? Survey Module – Data Processing & Adjustment

  • Property and subdivision design tools for cadastral and land development projects

  • Post‑processing of GNSS, total station, and digital level data using Topcon Tools 

  • Surface modelling from field survey data with export to 3D CAD formats

  • Google Earth integration – visualise field work directly in Google Earth 

???? Interoperability & File Support

  • Import: PDF vectors (improved in v10.1), GeoTIFF, PNG with transparency, DXF, DWG, LandXML 

  • Export: Machine control files, CAD formats, LandXML, Google Earth files 

  • Integration: Directly compatible with Topcon’s Sitelink3D (machine control data management), Pocket3D, and Topcon Enterprise cloud platform
