Want to edit a polyline in C3D? Grab a grip, move it. In C3D - type "pl" (or click button), draw (use coordinates if you want, or snap to points/features, etc). It involves use of menus, and unnecessary nonsense like that. That said, C3D is more flexible, and more robust with what you can do with surfaces, sections, basic drafting, page layout setups, etc.įor example, just creating and editing a "polyline" in TBC is SO CUMBERSOME. It handles viewing surfaces quite nicely, and more efficiently and "usably" than what I've seen in C3D. TBC is actually pretty good for quite a bit of what you've listed. It sounds like C3D may be a bit overkill if you're mostly just doing volumes/reporting. Trimble Business Center - $5,000 (additional $900 every two years or so for updates. Visually represent cut/fill by elevation and color. Compare surfaces and create volume report. Edit TIN surfaces (swap triangles, delete by boundary, add triangles, create points from surface, merge surfaces Create boundaries and delete data by boundary Insert background images, aligns background images manually or set scale Modify arcs, strings, opens and close strings, move and rotate data Insert points, arcs, text, images, arrow
Switch between porjections, datums and geoids Some features that I use from Magnet Office regularly are. pdf with a title block, logo, tables, surface contours etc. Is Civil3D overkill for me? I prepare the volumes in a. I am working in earthworks and most of what I provide to the company is cut/fill volume reports and stockpile volume reports. We have Trimble and Topcon machine control and being able to support Trimble file formats is important to me. I have been looking for an alternative to Magnet Office and I am heavily leaning towards Trimble Business Center. I am working for a construction company and we have been having regular problems with Magnet Office (Topcon) crashing resulting in delays. The Pile Plan Exporter for DPS/Groundworks exported the incorrect pile plan, e.g., Pile Plan A was selected, but Pile Plan B was exported.Hello Everyone.
TBC was not able to read the senseFly XMP tag for high-precision GNSS, causing GNSS quality to be set to low. The Phantom 4 RTK antenna type name was incorrectly assigned to imported DJI P1 and DJI M3E raw receiver data, even though the correct antenna type was used for baseline processing, possibly causing user confusion. The import of aerial photogrammetry data could fail because TBC was unable to identify the correctimporter to use. The Best Fit Line command could not be used with point cloud data. An error could occur after using the Best Fit Line command to create a line and then recomputing or closing and opening the project. An error could occur when using the Change Elevation command to change the elevation of a reference surface. When using the Create Points from CAD command to create points from lines with vertical information, the points had no elevations. If the Shrink Wrap command was used to create a region outline from points and the project was closed and reopened, an error occurred and the drawing could not be opened. When using the Extract Line Features command to extract overhead line features from a point cloud, the extraction process could stop abruptly. An error could occur when importing scan data contained in TDX files. Files could not be exported from TBC to Trimble Connect. TBC was unable to publish 3D data in a Station View to a Trimble Clarity presentation using the Publish to Clarity command. An error could occur when selecting a coordinate system from the "Recently Used" list in the Change Coordinate System dialog. Deleting scans of a run and splitting it also deleted scans of un-split runs. TBC could freeze when hovering the mouse cursor over a trajectory line.
