nanoCAD’s Topoplan module enhances the nanoCAD platform with tools for digital terrain modeling and documentation, making the work of surveyors more efficient. The nanoCAD platform offers a comprehensive set of basic and advanced design tools for creating and editing 2D/3D objects, providing multiple drawing and editing methods for most geometric elements. It serves as the foundation for building a more powerful CAD system tailored to your specifications.

New in Topoplan

The Topoplan module extends the nanoCAD platform with advanced tools for digital terrain modeling and documentation, designed to enhance the efficiency of surveyors. Key new features include:

  • Recalculation of Coordinates
  • 3D Slope
  • Surface Difference
  • Creating Geopoints Manually
  • Export Geopoints
  • 3D Polyline Offset

Main features

Surface Difference

The Height Difference (NG_HEIGHT_DIFFERENCE) command creates a new surface by subtracting one surface from another.

Topographic Hatches

Fill contours with conventional signs. You can set the type of filling, step, angle of rotation, and combine several symbols.

Coloring Elevation Legend

Generate an elevation legend for a height-colored surface.

Export Geopoints

The Export Geopoints (NG_EXPORT_POINTS) command allows you to export objects such as geopoints, blocks, and simple points to txt, csv, and sdr formats. It also enables creating labels in the drawing, saving the label’s rotation value or other user attributes when exporting to an external file, and selecting encoding.

User-Defined Properties of Geopoints

Set user-defined properties for geopoints. If you have additional data that cannot be distributed over existing standard geopoint properties, you can define your own user-defined properties.

Painting Mesh by Elevation

Expanded options for coloring the surface by elevation. Customize, save, and load the gradient from a file.
