If C3D is applying any of these corrections differently than your data collector, it could explain your differences. To get back to your problem, there are also other corrections that could be applied, such as prism offset and temperature/pressure corrections.
#Trimble survey controller raw file full#
Full tilt compensation allows the survey pole to be tilted up to 15° when measuring, allowing the Trimble R10 to capture points that would be inaccessible to other GNSS surveying systems. It doesnt look like a Trimble DC file - it is some other format and that is why it is not loading (the DC file is a Trimble Format File for managing Raw Data from Survey Controller / Trimble Access or Site Calibration / Coordinate System information from SCS900 / Siteworks or Machine Control Systems. The prime difference is that the older stuff used elevation, and the newer stuff uses ellipsoid height.īut anyway, I digress. Trimble controller screen, allowing surveyors to maintain focus where it matters most. What is this file / Where is this file from. These days, we typically use a "Grid Scale Factor" and "Elevation Factor", which combine into a "Combined Scale Factor".
With NAD27, we would use "Scale Factor" and "Sea-Level Factor", which would combine into a "Grid Factor". If so, have you also tried turning on the correction for Scale Factor? If you're actually surveying in your grid coordinate system, then you'd need to use both the Scale Factor and the Sea-Level Factor.Īll this stuff is kind of a mess in C3D, though, since we usually don't use sea level factors anymore. So are you surveying in a georeferenced coordinate system, such as State Plane or UTM? Select the Style sheet you imported in step 3 8. survey file from the Job file pull down 7.
#Trimble survey controller raw file generator#
Open Reports Job Report Generator (on the Home Ribbon) 6. survey file which you downloaded from the controller in step 2 5. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Open the program, Start a new project and import the. I recently attended a training session with an Autodesk licensed dealer, and they tried telling me that the corrections in the Survey tab have no bearing whatsoever on my data that I import. Please someone give me some advice on what I may be doing wrong. I have to believe there are other firms that use TSC2's and Trimble Link. I am wondering if others are experiencing this or am I the lonely one. They still don't match but are more tolerable. The only thing this does for me is get my coordinates within hundredths of each other.
However, in these blogs they say that but enabling the sea level correction in 3D that solved their problems. I have read in different blogs about the sea level correction issue and the formula's that 3D uses versus the survey controller. I am using the same coordinate system that 3D is setup in. I have made sure to have the settings to US Survey Feet so that is not the issue. I am having issues with the coordinates matching in my controller versus the coordinates that 3D comes up with. Does anyone use the Trimble TSC2 Survey Controller? If you do, have you successfully downloaded a file into Civil 3D 2011 using Trimble Link?
