Bring Data and Files into WorksOS

You can add machine productivity data, design files, and surveyed surfaces to your WorksOS project using either an automatic or manual method.

Automatic Data Processing

For 3D-enabled projects, machine productivity data (.tag files) from:

• Trimble Earthworks

• GCS900

• PCS900

• CCS900

is automatically transferred into WorksOS and processed as soon as it becomes available. No manual action is required.

You can also manually import these files if needed.

Manual File Import

In addition to machine productivity files, you can manually import:

• Design surfaces (.ttm)

• Linework (.dxf)

• Alignments (.svl)

• Surveyed surfaces (.ttm)

To import files, select Imports > Import Files. You can then choose from the following import methods.

Import from WorksManager

WorksOS allows you to perform a one-time import of supported files from WorksManager.

Supported file types include:

• DXF linework files (.dxf)

• Design files (.ttm) that have been uploaded to WorksManager as data collector designs

For each imported file, WorksOS displays:

• File name

• File type

• Design and version information

• The WorksManager user who imported the file

• Import date

When a newer version of the file is available in WorksManager, it appears as a separate import in WorksOS. Existing files are only replaced when you choose to do so.

Import from Local Storage

You can upload files directly from your computer by browsing for files or using drag-and-drop.

Steps

1. From the Dashboard or Map screen of the selected project, click the More (⋯) menu and select Imports.

2. The Imported Files screen opens, displaying all files currently uploaded to the project.

3. Click the + button to open the Import Files window.

4. Browse for files or drag and drop them into the upload area.

5. Select the file types you want to import.

Machine Productivity Files

When importing machine productivity (.tag) files:

• The data is checked against the project's boundary.

• Any data located outside the project boundary is excluded from the project.

Design and Survey Files

You can also import:

• Design surfaces (.ttm)

• Linework (.dxf)

• Alignments (.svl)

• Surveyed surfaces (.ttm)

Once imported, these files appear in the Imported Files list, where you can:

• View files by type

• Enable or disable file visibility

• Remove files when no longer required

Note: Machine productivity (.tag) files can only be imported into 3D-enabled projects. They cannot be automatically or manually imported into non-3D-enabled projects.
