Sure, what Trimble system are you using? GCS900 or Earthworks? If you don't have a copy of Trimble Business Centre, get it downloaded for a 30 day trial. It is likely you are going to need it
@@machinecontrol my machine has the gcs900 and I have the free bcs download from some time ago so should be able to do everything with it , also have the latest magnet office
Basically the free HCE version you have will be looking for you to import a triangluation either as a dxf, DWG or LandXml. If it is a AutoCAD format then prob best to save it as a 2000/2002 version or similar. Import that into HCE then go to export and export under the tab Construction - Machine Job Site Design Exporter, that = surface/model and saves the file as .SVD this is the same as a Topcon tn3 file. You can then export your linework via Machine Site Map Exporter, that saves as .SVL and is the same as a Topcon ln3 file
When you have the files they need to be placed in a specific file path. The first folder will be called, Machine Control Data. In that folder create another folder called ALL. in the ALL folder create 2 more folders, the first one should be your project name and the second one should be called GeoData. Place your SVD and SVL in the project folder. Your coordinate system files go in the GeoData folder, usually a .ggf .sgf and .cal file. You may need to reach out to someone to supply you with them, alternatively when inside HCE look for the CSD (coordinate system database) and see if you can export your files from there. I hope this helps
