Export Inframodel Files (.xml)

Export Inframodel files (.xml) that include corridor and other alignment-based surfaces, as well as feature data. Inframodel is a subset of the LandXML file schema that was developed to promote model-based exchange of infrastructure data in Finland. The Inframodel exporter, can export corridor surfaces and surfaces having horizontal alignment definition as string line layers (according to Inframodel specification). You can also include classification data for surfaces, alignments, and breaklines. Inframodel files can contain data for:

Surface data, including breaklines and points
Alignment and corridor data, including cross-sections
Feature data

Classifying BIM Objects in the File

Codings/classifications are conventions used to define an object's properties in the real world. For example, if the code 201000 = Top-most surface and 214111 = Asphalt,when you import an Inframodel file, the software/you understand that a surface codes as 214111 it is asphalt.

Note: These codings (called "InfraBIM classification" are primarily used in Finland.

Since Trimble Business Center does not have a separate classficication/coding property, you can add classification data to the names of the surfaces, alignments, breaklines, an template points you are exporting using the following notation:

e.g., Ground surface :1 Ground

Here is how an alignment with a code of 101 looks in the context of the Inframodel file:

alignmentName :101 Centerline
