Civil Design and Construction Collaboration Extension Help

Create a project in Trimble Connect and then enable the Civil Design and Construction Collaboration extension to automatically connect to and create a copy of the project in Trimble® Quadri software, thereby making a ‘connected project’ in the applications.

If required, you can also enable the Job Management extension for the same Trimble Connect project so that the connected project is also available in the Trimble WorksManager and WorksOS software.

The boundary, coordinate reference system (CRS), and users/members you set up in your Trimble Connect project are copied to the project in the other applications. These apps can then share data directly back to Trimble Connect, eliminating file transfer inefficiencies.

Once you have created a connected project, you can perform a variety of office-to-field (design-to-construction) workflows.

    • Feature catalog

    • Feature catalog version

    • Coordinate system units - This is based on the project’s CRS. (the default is meters).

  3. Under Shared Settings, verify that the project boundary and CRS are correct. If not, press Ctrl + F5 to refresh the page, and choose Feature Catalog standard.

  4. In the upper right, click Save and Enable.

  5. Once Quadri has been enabled, you should confirm or update which of your team members have access to the connected project. You can also join a connected project from Quadri.
