Exporting Design data to Trimble

Has anyone had success with this?  We're moving to Trimble Access on the survey data collectors which means that we have to export design data using Trimble Link and then use Trimble Business Center to examine the data and do any editing before sending it to the field.

 

So far I've found that alignments, profiles and surfaces seem to transfer OK.  Corridors however have been an almost total failure.  Can anybody comment, or suggest where I can get some help on this?

I've had some small success with this since the original post.  I have to do most of the work in TBC, recreating the corridor model there.  Fortunately I can import the dwg file and use the linework for targeting, and to check on the results of my work.  The real issue is that TBC does not have the same capabilities for constructing sections as Civil3d does, so I cannot recreate all of the logic used.

 

I had hoped to talk to Trimble about this at AU, but unfortunately they weren't there this year.

My coworker showed me how to do this a few weeks ago. He creates Feature lines for the Corrdidor from all the different layers, names them appropriately (see attached), then exports the file to Trimble Access using Trimblelink.

 

We didn't have a surface to tie into, so for the catchpoint, he created a string in Roads on the controller, or something like that..

 

I'll post more detailed procedures once I've had a chance to run through the whole thing myself.

Hope this helps!
