Uploading to Leica had a few extra steps, but the mists of time have fogged that over without someone giving me a refresher. That way the contractor could load into his job for the day only what he needed (prevented clutter, mistakes, etc.). We always kept our point, linework, and surface files separate.

check for holes in the surface using their office software fix in C3D if necessary (for whatever reason, sometimes you'd get one even after checking in CAD) create surface however you want in C3D (point groups, survey figures, 3P's, featurelines, corridors, etc.) INSUNITS to 0 or 6 for meter (north of the border, eh) to prevent unit mismatch (if you change the units in, for whatever reason, it changes the units out.0 seemed to work the best) clean all junk out of file (audit, purge, laydel, etc)

2d only, elevation of 0 for linework (check with isometric view) I wanted to attach the file at this point but the drop area says file type not allowed, i don't know why its only 500KB as is, basically, the way we would prep it for contractors. But at the moment it looked very cluttered if I had both surfaces in one file. If I was more fluent in Magnet Field I may get to a stage where I don't take it out of Magnet at all. If Magnet processes the file on points alone the triangulation is unsuitable. I have tried exploding the polylines in AutoCAD but doesn't improve. As far as i can tell the settings are not set to put stuff in the background. I do note however that for my file it brings in Layers points and one background element which i suspect is the problem. I have tried the recommendation of using AutoCAD 2000 dwg format and that doesn't change things. Having exported the file in DXF, added the lines in AutoCAD when I try to bring it into a new Magnet job it appears to work but if I try to edit the linework it sees nothing even though I can see the lines in MAP. I had recognised the need to be able to add some extra breaklines which is easy in plain AutoCAD as I can view it in 3D more easily. Magnet Field should be able to cope, I run a FC-5000 tablet with a wireless keyboard and mouse and it is not painful to do stuff. It is mainly for surface to surface volume calculations that I require it.

I don't have much requirements for all the features of a full survey office package.
