Trimble Business Center (TBC) v5.3 is Now Available, So What’s New in TBC v5.30?

On April 27, 2020, Trimble has announced the release of version 5.30 of Trimble Business Center (TBC) office software that enables surveyors and geospatial professionals to simplify the creation of cadastral, GIS, infrastructure inspection and tunnelling deliverables. TBC is a leading software solution to provide users with the capability to efficiently edit, process, and adjust geospatial data and create deliverables with confidence.

This latest release features for CAD and drafting, surfaces, tunnels and corridors, mobile mapping and working with field data. The highlights are below.

New features/updates included in TBC v5.3:

1. CAD Command Line – Use the new Command Line to run dozens of CAD commands by simply entering command aliases, keyboard shortcuts, and values (with occasional picking in graphic views). Using the Command Line is more keyboard-focused and therefore more efficient than running commands from the Command Pane.

2. Surfaces – Two new commands for surface tools:

  • Flatten Surface
    Allows you to automatically remove outlier vertices from a surface, resulting in a flatter surface.
  • Create Surface Intersection Line
    Allows you to automatically create a linestring at the intersection of two surfaces.

3. Enhancements for corridor workflows –

  • Display road corridors in the Tunnel View
  • Create and edit tunnel offsets and rotation directly in the Tunnel View
  • Display multiple tunnel designs in the Tunnel View

4. Road Workflows –

  • Export Trimble Access Road Strings in LandXML Format
  • Trimble Access Road Strings Exporter Flags Side Slope Catch Lines
  • Create a Knoll Cul-de-Sac

5. Mobile Mapping

  • Manual Camera Calibration

    This new feature allows you to calibrate a Trimble MX9 camera directly in TBC. A camera calibration consists of manually optimizing the offsets in the orientation of the camera(s) (boresight angles: Roll, Pitch, and Heading) in order to correct the mismatch between the image data and the laser scan data.

Mobile Mapping Using TBC - Trimble Business Center

  • Automatic Laser Scanner Calibration

    This new feature allows you to calibrate Trimble MX9 lasers directly in TBC. A laser calibration consists of automatically correcting the offsets in the orientation of the lasers (boresight angles: Roll, Pitch and Heading) in order to correct the mismatch between the laser scan data from different runs.
