Power Civil v8i: Create LandXML from Land Desktop

I have been trying to use the new tool in Power Civil v8i to create a LandXML file from a Land Desktop project (UILauncher.exe).

Once the LandXML file is created, how do I import the data into Power Civil? The XML file may contain several surface models, alignments, profiles, points, etc. The Data import routine in Power Civil doesn't seem to recognize the multiple surfaces or give the option to select a surface for import. Also when I try to import COGO points from the same XML file Power Civil crashes. I know that in Power Civil XM, points, alignments and surface data had to be in seperate XML files. Is it possible that v8i is the same and thus it can't handle the multiple data types in the Land Desktop XML file?

  • I also noticed there appears to be a way to bring points into a DTM from a file that remains external. One of the DTM's in that data set comes in empty from Bentley's tool but in LDD I can export a LandXML file that includes those points.

    I really like the support for breaklines in your tool. That seems to be missing from the Export routins in LDD. All I seem to be able to get is triangles.
