Topographic surfaces of natural terrain and geotechnical layers can be created from survey data or seismic profiles. There are commands for interactive editing of the surface, and it also offers tools to detect and repair errors. The surfaces can have multiple boundaries or islands, and can be drawn as lines, 3D faces or meshes. MDT can generate contours with an interval or at special elevations and they are updated automatically with each change in triangulation. The contours can be labelled manually or automatically with style, and additional labels to be placed anywhere on the surface. There are also other commands for interpolating, breaking and joining contours, adding vertices, editing contours, discretizing polylines and splines, detecting elevation errors etc.

Other tools allow to import and export point, lines and polygon GIS files in shape, GML, GeoJSON and more formats. You can also import vector data from entity web services (WFS). Meshes may be created from a surface, contours, 3D entities or mesh files in various known formats (Arc/Info, LAS, GeoTIFF, etc.) or web coverage services (WCS). Large files can be converted from LiDAR or photogrammetry applications, with the possibility of resampling and without the need to draw them in CAD. It also has commands for mesh processing such as joins, filtering and resampling, smoothing, removing peaks, filling gaps, etc.

They may be represented as 3D faces, polyface mesh or image, all being suitable for export to realism and animation programs.
