Network adjustment differences - When performing a network adjustment, the results can vary slightly between Trimble Business Center (TBC) and Trimble Geomatics Office (TGO). TBC uses all observations in their original form without being reduced or meaned. TGO uses reduced and meaned observations. Trimble® Business Center Heavy Construction Edition Release Notes 6 Last minute issues from version 1. 50's Read Me File: (These features were released in the last version) Exported and re-imported CAD line names - A name property, which can be set in the Properties pane, has been added to all CAD line objects. When you export a . dxf or . dwg file, it includes the name (using XDATA) in the file. If the XDATA name property is found when importing a . dxf or dwg file, the name will be imported. SCS900 software also supports name properties using XDATA, so any name defined in this software or in SCS900 will be retained during the import/export process. Corridor template instructions - If a corridor includes a template that defines a near vertical or vertical (large or infinite slope) wall, be sure to use an Offset Elevation Node instruction in the preceding template. This will ensure the transition of the nodes connected between templates is based on elevation, not slope. If you use Offset Slope Node instructions in the preceding template, you may encounter unexpected results. Surface densification ­ Surface densification is intended for (and works best on) roadway corridors which have breaklines running along the associated alignment and do not contain intersections. Add/Remove surface boundaries - You can now define the extents of a surface by adding or removing one or more boundaries or closed lines as the limits of the surface. You can also create holes and islands within or outside of a surface by selecting additional boundaries. Create surface edge breakline ­ You can now create a breakline on the outer edge of a surface when you want to prevent trimming or recalculated triangles at the current edge. Rotation point - In 3D View, press the Alt key and click a point on an object to set it as the rotation point for the view. 3D View rotation point - You can now press [Alt] and click in the 3D View to set a new point around which the view rotates. Surface tools module ­ A new licensable module called Surface Tools is now available. Add/Remove Surface Boundaries command Create Surface Edge Breakline command Create Uncompacted PCS Surface command Surface densification properties Russian language ­ The program's user interface and documentation are also available in Russian. New file importers ­ Import files containing alignment, profile, and cross-section data from the following civil engineering programs: Buhodra Ingeniería ISPOL, Bentley InRoads, ANEBA Geoinformática CARTOMAP, Tool CLIP, and Aplitop TCP-MDT.

System Requirements The following computer configuration recommendations are based in part on subjective evaluations in regard to what constitutes acceptable and desirable performance. The configuration addressing minimum acceptable performance should be used in assessing the suitability of a system that you already own. [. . . ] In the Options dialog, edit the path in the Project management folder box. Normally, you may wish to create a folder beneath which all of the data associated with each of your construction projects is located. You can then further organize your data within additional subfolders beneath that.
