import fbk

I created a fbk with trimble business center. The fbk is all coordinates. C3D 2012 implys this fbk is all control points.

 

Is there a way to import a fbk so that c3d reads the points as non-control points?

 

Is there a way to change the points attributes to non-control? 

 

Is there a toggle in C3D so I can edit multiple points before regenerating the network?

 

Thanks.

Instead just import a ascii text file. Then it wont use the FBK stuff.

Edit the field book file and change the "NE" or "NEZ" commands to "NE SS".

We have and are looking at ascii files but the way c3d reads them with attrubutes has been giving us some problems. When are working on a stylesheet from TBC that will work with c3d. It is not very useful that civil 3d does not seems to allow attribute names to be imported via csv. It seems to only read values.

 

Our current csv line is similar to

 

Point,Northing,Easting,Elevation,Code Attribute Value Attribute Value... /Note

 

Has anyone gotten c3d to read a line similar to

 

Point,Northing,Easting,Elevation,Code,Note,Attribute Name,Attribute Value,Attribute Name,Attribute Value ...

C3D will not use the additional informatino natively, upon import with out the use of UDP's. Then things just seem to get a little convoluted. I guessing that this may be an equipment function/ collector function - that works well for the DC but is quite burdensome to get into C3D at the moment. Out of curiousity what equipment are you using?

We use Trimble collectors and with TBC we can export any format ascii using style sheets. I don't have a good gripe on how c3d can utilize attributes and notes but at this time it seems poor to me when it comes to importing them.

 

We are trying for the

 

Point,Northing,Easting,Elevation,Code,Note,Attribute Name,Attribute Value,Attribute Name,Attribute Value ...

 

but I don't think c3d will let us use the attribute name column.

 

What's a UDP?

UDP? User Defined Propeties

 

You may also what to look at Survey Extended Properties

 

This all depends on the Data your trying to Import.
