TDL – Topcon Digital Layout
Building contractors are embracing robotic layout to get a competitive advantage in the face of industry pressures like tighter construction schedules, reduced budgets, labor shortages, and turnover.
TDL Field software is a valuable tool benefitting a wide variety of trades and professionals with varying technology skills and is user-friendly for all construction projects. It launched as an easy-to-use Digital Layout software for the fast-paced building construction industry for general contractors, concrete contractors, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) contractors, steel erectors, fire suppression companies, and more.
Designed to help both first-time and experienced users of digital layout technology, this cost-efficient building construction field software works in combination with a 3D laser — the Topcon LN50 & 150 tools, or a Topcon GT robotic total station, providing a step-by-step guide to streamline routines and workflows.
Point Manager
Additionally, the software can be used with the Point Manager plug-in for Autodesk Revit or AutoCAD to create point files in the office and seamlessly transfer as-built data back to a contractor’s design software. It is compatible with 2D, 3D, and BIM workflows, and is supported by Microsoft Windows and Android operating systems.
Users can easily generate real-time PDF reports to summarize work progress for stakeholders. Topcon Enterprise web service is also included, enabling users to easily share data between the office and the field.
It is a wonder of software versatility. Never before has field layout been so easy to use for the first-time/novice layout person. And, at the same time, has all the routines, calculations, and connectivity that advanced users in a complete BIM workflow want.
