LandXML Conflict Resolution Options

Use these options to resolve ambiguities in the import of LandXML files. They are available in the LandXML Import Conflicts dialog. There are two general types of LandXML conflicts.


Columns

#	Shows the conflict number in the list
Description	Displays the type of object and the reason for the conflict
Resolution options
Conflict type	Triangle-based definition - Select this when you only want to import the triangles defining the surface. This data becomes the surface and cannot be edited. Select this only when you do not need to edit the data, and want a smaller file size and faster speed. This option also handles holes and islands in the data. Point/Breakline-based source data - Select this to import the points, point lists, boundaries, breaklines, and contours used to create the surface. This data defines the surface, but remains separate from it, enabling you to edit the data to modify the surface. If you are unsure, select this option to retain the ability to edit the data.
Conflict type	Use a new name - Select if you want to save the original imported object, and import an identical one with a new name. Type a new name in the box. Overwrite existing surface - Select if you want to discard the existing surface of the same name, and replace it with this one. Caution: If you overwrite the existing surface, all related observed objects are deleted, even they are not from a LandXML import.
