Resolve LandXML Conflicts

During the LandXML import process, if any objects in the file are ambiguous, the LandXML Import Conflict dialog displays. LandXML objects that do not conform to the import format will be reported as conflicts or discarded if:

  • The file is corrupted.
  • A surface is only defined by a watershed.
  • A surface contains one or many point files.
  • A surface has both Source data and Definition data description.
  • An alignment profile contains a gap.
  • An alignment profile contains a spiral that is not a clothoid.
  • The components of an alignment profile are not in the proper order.

To resolve conflicts in LandXML objects:

  1. Select a conflict in the List of conflicts. Options for resolving the conflict appear in the Selected conflict area. The description and options in this depend on the selected conflict.
  2. Click an option for resolving the conflict.
  3. Click Resolve this conflict. A check mark appears in the Status column next to the conflict, indicating that the conflict is resolved. The next conflict in the list is automatically selected.
  4. Repeat the steps above until all of the conflicts are resolved.
  5. Click Import to finish the import process. When the file finishes importing, the LandXML objects appear in the project explorer as points, surfaces, or alignments. Discarded objects and the reasons for the discard are listed as Errors in the Import Summary.

    Notes: You can change the resolution for solved conflicts any time before importing.
