Hi,
First, I don't know if it's the right place to ask my question. If not, I
apologize and would like to know where to do so. I tried to find what I'm
looking for in the LandXML-1.0Docs.zip document that is on your web site.
Unfortunately, the file is corrupted, Winzip displays the message Bad CRC
ca3d7493 I downloaded it three times to ensure that corruption didn't
occurred during data transmission. Anyway, he it is...
Here at Ministry of Transports of Québec (Canada), we use Bentley's Inroads
civil design software. Through Inroads and all software involved in our
road project workflow, we apply a combined scale factor (obtained by the
multiplication of grid scale factor and mean sea level reduction factor) on
each input lengths to express field data on a projection plan (something
equivalent to the State Plane systems used in several US states). The goal
is that all reports produced by Inroads show grid level related coordinates
and field level related dimensions (stations, intervals, radii, lengths,
etc.).
Recently, for reporting purposes, we decided to export some data (surfaces
and alignments) in LandXML format. We also plan to use the same standard to
upload road designs in our electronic fieldbooks, for field deployment
purposes.
We'd like to know if somewhere in LandXML standard, there is any statement
about the reference datum to use for any dimensions contained in LandXML
data files. It's quite obvious that coordinates should be expressed on the
projection plan, but what about all linear dimensions like curves radii and
alignments stations? For us, these should be ground (field) referenced. Is
this topic addressed by the LandXML standard?
Hope my question is clear enough. If not, feel free to contact me for
additional information.
Best regards,
