Earthworks 2.17 released
LandXML designs are now supported!
LandXML designs are now supported. LandXML is an industry standard format that can be generated by the majority of civil design software packages. You can use LandXML design files like any other supported design format. Horizontal and vertical alignments are available when a TIN surface is present. LandXML files must be saved in the appropriate project Designs folder, and a localisation (.cal) file is required.
The system supports LandXML design elements:
- Surfaces from TIN triangulated surface, including multiple surfaces in the same file
- Alignment names and alignments related to spirals limited to clothoid and cubic parabola
- Linestrings for 2D and 3D and planimetric for 3D line workflows
- Points
- Design validation and error reporting
- Input via USB and display methods maintaining the existing data structure
- Support of the current daft state of ISO 15143-4 (draft), based on LandXML V1.2
- File size 50 MB and smaller LandXML design files containing surface parameters, such as stringlines or cross-sections, are currently unsupported.
