export xml profiles

[TGKDG]

I'm exporting profiles to xlm from c3d and importing them back into land creating the data base for our field guys who are not up to speed with 3d yet. I want to export ditch transition, say L2 and R2 to give them more information.

As I understand it, if I define the finished grade profile as L2 I should be able to import it into land as L2 ditch transition. It doesn't seem to be working. Has anyone used this successfully.

The other thing is that I have a bunch of different alignment in the same drawing. I can only have one L2 profile per drawing. So, does that mean I have to break up each profile and export separately?

Any tips would be welcome.

landxml is absolutely un-intuitive with profiles. so i don't bother. but i
am lazy sometimes.

to go LDT->C3D i just block it in and trace

to go C3D->LDT i explode, block it in, sample an LDT profile and define my
C3D as a profile

if doing it for the field guys, why not set the points in c3d from the
align/profile and export an ASCII of points?
