Topcon MAGNET Office + Site Prep + Survey (Perpetual) | Theodist PNG
Designed for surveyors, civil contractors, and site engineers across Papua New Guinea, the Topcon MAGNET Office Complete Suite (Site Prep + Survey + Takeoff) is the definitive perpetual-license software for transforming 2D CAD/PDF plans into high-precision 3D site models and machine control files.
Available locally through Theodist, PNG’s trusted provider of survey and drafting technology, this all-in-one desktop solution streamlines everything from field-to-finish survey processing to complex cut/fill volumetric takeoff and 5D BIM simulation.
Core Operational Benefits for PNG Projects
1. Rapid PDF-to-CAD Conversion & Surface Preparation
- Convert standard PDF construction drawings directly into intelligent 3D vector models. The software automates surface file cleanup, eliminating rogue elevations and line breaks so you can generate precise digital terrain models (DTMs) in minutes.
2. Precise Cut/Fill & Earthwork Balancing
- Site balancing functionality helps eliminate unnecessary soil haulage—a major cost driver for remote PNG infrastructure projects. Calculate true surface and subgrade volumes, build customizable material libraries, and generate accurate cost estimates before earth-moving equipment arrives on site.
3. Subsurface Strata & Trenching Capabilities
- Integrate geotechnical drill-hole data directly into your 3D models. Combine subsoil strata with construction materials to model exact trench profiles, road alignments, and asphalt re-paving overlays with realistic material layer depths.
4. Direct Machine Control Integration
- Seamlessly generate and manage 3DMC files for Topcon machine guidance systems. Export machine-ready files directly to foremen and plant operators, ensuring site grading matches design intent down to the millimetre.
