.TBP File

What is a .TBP file?

A .TBP file is a CAD project file created by Tekla BIMsight, a construction project management application. It saves imported CAD files (e.g., .DWG files), annotations, and viewing angles. TBP files are used for saving building project models in collaborative work environments.

Here are some of the features of a .TBP file:

• It can store multiple CAD files, including .DWG, .DXF, and .IFC files.
• It can store annotations, such as dimensions, notes, and labels.
• It can store viewing angles, such as perspective views and isometric views.
• It can be used to collaborate on building project models with other users.

To open a .TBP file, you need to have Tekla BIMsight installed on your computer. Once Tekla BIMsight is installed, you can double-click on the .TBP file to open it.

If you do not have Tekla BIMsight installed, you can download a free trial from the Trimble website.

Here are some other software that can open .TBP files:

• Autodesk Topobase
• The Bat! Plugin
• GROMACS

If you are having trouble opening a .TBP file, you can try the following:

• Make sure that you have the correct software installed.
• Try opening the file in a different software.
• Repair the file using a file repair tool.

Using .TBP files to collaborate on building project models

.TBP files can be used to collaborate on building project models by allowing multiple users to access and edit the same file simultaneously. This can be done by using a cloud-based collaboration platform, such as Tekla BIMsight Share or Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro.

To collaborate on a .TBP file using Tekla BIMsight Share, you will need to create a project and invite the other users to join. Once the users have joined the project, they will be able to access the .TBP file and make changes to it. All changes will be saved in real time, so everyone will always be working on the latest version of the file.

To collaborate on a .TBP file using Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro, you will need to create a project and invite the other users to join. Once the users have joined the project, they will be able to access the .TBP file and make changes to it. All changes will be saved to the cloud, so everyone will always be working on the latest version of the file.

Here are some of the benefits of using .TBP files to collaborate on building project models:

• It allows multiple users to access and edit the same file simultaneously.
• It saves time and effort by eliminating the need to manually transfer files between users.
• It ensures that everyone is working on the latest version of the file.
• It can help to improve communication and coordination between team members.

If you are working on a building project with multiple users, I recommend using .TBP files to collaborate on the project model. This will help to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that the project is completed on time and within budget.

Here are some of the challenges of using .TBP files to collaborate on building project models:

• The files can be large and slow to transfer.
• There is a risk of file corruption.
• It can be difficult to track changes to the file.

If you are using .TBP files to collaborate on a building project, I recommend using a cloud-based collaboration platform to minimize these challenges.

About Tekla BIMsight:

Tekla BIMsight was a free project collaboration software that allowed users to combine models from different project participants and check for hard and soft conflicts visually and with conflict checking tools. It also allowed users to communicate with other parties involved in the project by adding notes, markups, and project documentation to the models. It was developed by Trimble.

Tekla BIMsight was discontinued in 2022 and replaced by Trimble Connect for Windows. Trimble Connect for Windows is a free software that has the best functionalities of Tekla BIMsight and much more. It is a cloud-enabled software that allows users to collaborate on projects in real time, regardless of their location.

If you are looking for a software to collaborate on building project models, I recommend using Trimble Connect for Windows. It is a powerful and versatile software that can help you improve communication and coordination between team members.
