Major New Features & Enhancements
Below is a snapshot of what's new in this feature-rich release, spanning point cloud registration, interoperability, geodetics, and more.
A highly requested capability now built directly into TBC for more accurate, stable point cloud alignment — answering longstanding user requests with confidence.
Add user-defined fields to site improvement definitions for better reporting and more accurate bidding workflows across construction projects.
Seamlessly export lines, CAD geometry, dimensions, meshes, and more into DGN format for Bentley workflows — expanding TBC's interoperability footprint.
Improved compatibility with ISO 15143-4 and other modern data standards, reinforcing TBC's position as the industry hub for data exchange.
Includes updated Coordinate System Database versions 113 & 114, adding new global coordinate systems and displacement models for more survey environments.
Feature Highlights in Detail
Target-Based Point Cloud Registration
One of the most anticipated additions to TBC 2025.20 is native target-based point cloud registration. Previously requiring workarounds or third-party tools, this capability is now built directly into TBC, giving survey and reality capture professionals a stable, accurate, and traceable alignment workflow entirely within their office environment.
This feature directly addresses user feedback gathered over multiple releases and reflects Trimble's commitment to listening to the professionals who rely on TBC every day.
Custom Fields for Site Improvements
Users can now attach user-defined fields to site improvement definitions. This opens up richer reporting capabilities and more precise bidding workflows — particularly valuable for civil and construction professionals who need to track custom attributes alongside standard survey deliverables.
MicroStation DGN Export
TBC 2025.20 adds seamless export to Bentley's DGN format, supporting:
- Lines and polylines
- CAD geometry and annotation
- Dimensions and text
- Meshes and surfaces
This removes a longstanding friction point for users working in Bentley-centric environments and further cements TBC as the interoperability hub of the geospatial industry.
Updated LandXML & Geodetic Support
The updated LandXML importer and exporter improves compatibility with ISO 15143-4 and other evolving data standards. Alongside this, Coordinate System Database versions 113 and 114 bring:
- New global coordinate systems and regional datums
- Updated displacement models for greater precision in complex environments
- Expanded geodetic support empowering surveyors working across multi-regional projects
