Importing Elevations if you are a John Deere Operator

T3RRA Design Plus can import elevation data from three separate John Deere sources. These are:

  • John Deere RCD logs
    These are from Gen3 and earlier John Deere displays (such as the 2630). You would normally download the data from your display using a thumb drive and then copy it to the computer running T3RRA Design Plus. Be sure to copy the entire folder structure, not simply individual files.
  • John Deere RCD SWM Survey logs 
    Deere customers who have ‘Surface Water Pro’ may have data in this format. These logs are collected specifically in the tractor as elevation surveys.
  • John Deere Gen4 (ADAPT) logs
    These are from Gen4 John Deere displays (such as the 4640). You would normally download the data from your display using a thumb drive and then copy it to the computer running T3RRA Design Plus. Be sure to copy the entire folder structure, not simply individual files.

Importing Elevations from John Deere RCD logs

NOTE: You must have a folder named RCD on your computer for this to work

  1. Select the RCD button on the left hand side of the menu bar
  2. This will pop up a window, select relevant RCD file and press OK
  3.  Once a file has been selected, press the open button and after a conversion process the elevation surface and identified design surfaces will appear in the working area and the layer selection area.
