- I am starting with the Sections module, how can I perform a basic definition of a section?To perform a basic definition of a section in the Sections module of TcpMDT, a structured process is used that allows combining geometric…
- What is a template definition and what files does it generate?The template definition is the set of geometric and construction components (platforms, ditches, slopes, etc.) that define the final shape…
- What is the difference between an Urban section and a Motorway section?The main difference lies in the platform: motorway sections include median elements and allow defining independent roadbed layers for the…
- In what ways can a typical section be created?Manual/Assisted: Using the Define - Edit command, utilizing templates or COMPONENTS libraries. From Front View: By converting a polyline…
- Can the grade application point be separated from the pivot point?Yes, one of the features of version 25 is the ability to define the elevation of pipe nodes application point on a vector different from…
- How are platform vectors defined?Each vector has a code, a name, and relative offsets (DX, DY). Additionally, you can specify whether it is superelevatable and whether it…
- What is a "Clearing Berm"?It is an vector with a specified slope that is located just Before the Ditch or before the Slope development to improve the finish of the…
- What are roadbed "reinforcements"?They are TOOLS for the utilization of existing ASPHALT S. The program adapts the New cross section to the current Roadbed layers based on…
- What are "structures" in the superelevation used for?They are defined as station intervals where the standard superelevation will not be applied (for example, on bridges or viaducts)…
- Is there a way to preview the alignment in real time?Yes, the Generate Proposed Terrain tool allows you to interactively view the Fill seat and its Front section as the user moves along the…
- How is the initial definition of roadbed layers performed?The definition is carried out within the Superelevations module, in the Define – Edit command. On the Roadbeds tab, the user first sets…
- What is the "Roadbed Catalog" and how is it used?When defining layers, the program allows access to a Roadbed Catalog based on standards (such as the Spanish ones). The user can SELECT a…
- What is "Roadbed Layer Overlap"?It is an advanced feature that allows assigning a different Outer Shoulder material than the main one at the Ends of the ASPHALT S…
- How are work units linked to layers to obtain budgets?From the layer definition window itself, there are Asphalt S and Import, *Export buttons to assign Work Units (U.O.). These units are…
- How are roadbed layers integrated into a BIM workflow?TcpMDT allows you to export the complete definition of all roadbed layers to the IFC format. In the resulting BIM model, each layer is…
- What is a Segment?In the context of TcpMDT, an segment (identified by the file extension .SEG) is an integrating file designed to centralize all the…
- Once the road is defined, how can I obtain the Final Terrain?To obtain the final state of the surface after designing a road in TcpMDT, use the Get Modified Terrain command. This tool allows you to…
- How can I create a LandXML file from the segment?To create a LandXML file from a segment in TcpMDT, you must use the specific export tool that allows integrating the various components of…
- Is it possible to export the road with its pavement layers to BIM format?Yes, it is perfectly possible to export a road with its pavement layers to BIM format, specifically using the IFC (Industry Foundation…
- How can I check for errors in the definition of my roadway from the segment?The CAD editor includes the option Verify, which analyzes the set and generates a report of warnings and summarized issues. It detects…
- Can realistic 3D routes be generated from a segment?Yes, using the TOUR BY ROAD command. The program uses the geometric definition of the segment to simulate a visual route over the 3D…
- How is the segment integrated into a BIM workflow?The segment is the base unit for IFC export. When exporting a segment, the resulting BIM model includes not only the geometry of the…
- What drawing automation has version 25 incorporated for segments?If you are working with an active project, TcpMDT 25 allows the automatic update of drawn Profiles and Cross-sections in response to any…
- How can I define fill cleanup?To define the cleanup of a fill in TcpMDT, you mainly have two tools depending on whether you are referring to slope benching (stepped to…
- How can you obtain the proposed terrain in SUP format?Once the segment is defined, you can obtain the surface, SUP, or the surfaces of the definition indicated in the cross-section type, both…
- How to assign different roadbed layers by zone?In the templates of MDT, roadbed layers are assigned per platform vector, so that each zone (roadway, sidewalk, curb, hard shoulder…
- Why is the template drawn wrong (spikes, slopes)?When defining a segment in MDT, the template may be drawn incorrectly: slopes that come out wrong with irregular spikes, profiles that are…
- Why does the roadbed slope come out vertical?When defining the roadbed layers of a template in MDT, the outer slope of those layers may come out vertical instead of inclined. There…
- Roadbed reinforcement is not applied or drawn properlyWhen applying a roadbed reinforcement over an existing road in MDT, it is common for the reinforcement not to be shown at some stations…
- Topsoil and sanitation in the reinforcement areaWorking with roadbed reinforcements in MDT raises questions about how topsoil and sanitation (the undercut treatment) behave in that area…
- What tools does tcpMDT Professional offer for road and railway design?What tools does it offer for the design of roads and railways? It includes advanced functions for the design of horizontal and vertical…
