Exporting Files from T3RRA Design Plus

There is a lot of flexibility when exporting from T3RRA Design Plus. This includes control files and overlays. Export individual layers or several into a folder. To get started, load a project and click the export button. Alternatively, choose File > Export Data.

Exporting a control file is how you get your design into a tractor or bulldozer with T3RRA Cutta (.tci), or produce a Trimble FMX/TMX compatible file (.gps). You can either create a control file with an individual layer or by combining many layers, such as surfaces, guides, regions and boundaries, etc.

Once the export window is opened, you will be able to select the export type from the left menu. The options include:

• T3RRA Cutta (*.tci, our preferred control file format. Works well with T3RRA Cutta, funnily enough)
• Field Level II for FMX/TMX (*.gps)
• Shapefile (*.shp)
• Comma Separated Values (*.csv)
• Ezigrade (*.ezigrade)
• DXF 3D Faces (*.dxf, a great format for most CAD packages like AutoCAD, QGIS, Magnet and BricsCAD)
• Land XML (*.xml, a great format for interoperability)

After the export file type has been selected, you can remove and add layers to the central column of the export window. To remove layers, click the X button on the right of an item. To add layers, drag them in from the layers panel on the right of the main window.
