TPC Desktop™ Optimizes Your Site and Land Use Planning Workflows
Design with Precision and Flexibility Using TPC Desktop™
Because planning is done on the front end, long before you generate any revenue from the project, you want software that helps you get your ideas on paper quickly and accurately, but will all the flexibility to make changes as you go. That’s where Traverse PC’s traverses really shine.
- show boundaries, easements and right-of-ways over the top of background photos
- easily move layers front / back / forward / backward using our Drawing Order tools
- a project can include any number of drawings
- generate reports like areas, phrase driven legal description, volumes, slope analysis
- easily share your plans with CAD, LandXML, GIS, PDF
Would you like to use the perfect software for planning your next project?
For site and land use planners, the initial stages of a project are critical. You need software that allows you to quickly and accurately translate your visions into tangible plans, even before revenue generation begins. This requires tools that offer both precision and the flexibility to adapt as ideas evolve. TPC Desktop™, with its powerful traverse management and visualization capabilities, is designed to optimize your planning workflows from concept to final design.
One of the key strengths of TPC Desktop™ for planners lies in its ability to clearly display crucial boundary information. You can easily overlay property lines, easements, and right-of-ways directly onto background aerial photos or other imagery. This visual representation provides immediate context and helps you understand the spatial relationships between different elements of the site. By seeing the existing conditions clearly, you can make more informed planning decisions from the outset, ensuring that your designs are feasible and compliant with existing regulations.
Managing the visual hierarchy of your plans is essential for clear communication. TPC Desktop™ features intuitive Drawing Order tools that allow you to easily control which elements appear in the foreground and background of your drawings. You can effortlessly move layers forward or backward, ensuring that critical information, such as proposed building footprints or utility lines, are clearly visible over underlying base maps or photographic data. This level of control enhances the clarity and professionalism of your planning documents.
TPC Desktop™ understands that complex projects often require multiple drawings to represent different aspects of the plan. Our software allows you to include an unlimited number of drawings within a single project file. This organizational structure keeps your work manageable and allows you to easily switch between different views and details of the site plan. Whether you’re working on overall site layout, detailed grading plans, or utility infrastructure, all your drawings are conveniently linked within the same project.
Generating comprehensive reports is a vital part of the planning process. TPC Desktop™ enables you to quickly create informative reports, including precise area calculations for different land use zones, automatically generated phrase-driven legal descriptions for parcels, accurate volume calculations for earthwork estimations, and insightful slope analysis for understanding site topography and drainage. These reports provide essential data for project feasibility studies, regulatory approvals, and construction documentation.
Sharing your plans with various stakeholders is seamless with TPC Desktop™. The software offers robust export capabilities to a wide range of industry-standard formats, including CAD (DWG/DXF) for collaboration with engineers and architects, LandXML for data exchange in civil engineering workflows, GIS formats for integration with geospatial analysis tools, and PDF for easy sharing and review by clients and regulatory agencies. This interoperability ensures that your planning documents can be easily communicated and utilized throughout the project lifecycle.
By integrating TPC Desktop™ into your site and land use planning process, you gain a powerful tool that combines accuracy, flexibility, and ease of use. From visualizing existing conditions to generating detailed reports and sharing your plans, TPC Desktop™ optimizes your workflow, allowing you to focus on creating innovative and effective land use solutions. Its traverse-centric approach provides a solid foundation for precise boundary management and spatial analysis, ultimately leading to better-informed decisions and more successful project outcomes.
