Bring in Data/Files

Automatic method (processing)

Machine productivity data (.tag) from Earthworks and GCS/PCS/CCS900 automatically flows into WorksOS 3D-enabled projects and is immediately processed. This data can also be manually imported.

Manual method (importing)

Machine productivity files (above), as well as design surfaces, linework, alignments, and surveyed surfaces, can alternatively be imported manually into a project. Once your click Imports > Import Files, there are three options in the side panel:

Import from WorksManager

You can import any compatible files from WorksManager into WorksOS as a one-time import. DXF files and .ttm design files that have been loaded as data collector designs in WorksManager can be brought in. This is the only shared compatibility for file imports. The file name appears first, then type, design and version followed by the name of the user who imported in WorksManager and the date imported. Each time a new version is updated, this data will appear as another import in WorksOS and be overwritten only when you choose.

Import data from Local Storage by browsing or drag-and-drop

  1. From either the Dashboard or Map screens for the currently selected project, click the More (ellipses) icon and select Imports in the menu.

  2. This will open the Imported Files screen which shows all currently uploaded files in the project.

  3. Click the + button to open the Import Files window. From here, you can manually browse or drag-and-drop each file type you want to import into the project.

  4. Select machine productivity files (.tag) to import them into the project. The imported data is checked to see that it lies within the spatial extents of the project boundary. Any data outside the boundary is not added.

  5. Select design surfaces (.ttm), linework (.dxf), alignments (.svl), and surveyed surfaces (.ttm) to import into the project. Once imported, these files are displayed in the Import Files list where you can view them by file type and disable or remove them if needed.

Note: Tag files cannot be automatically or manually imported into non-3D-enabled projects.
