Publish to WorksOS

Use the Publish to WorksOS command to publish data directly to an existing WorksOS project. The following types of data can be published:

mass haul plan (Corridor and Site)
alignments (typically guidance alignments)
Surveyed surface
Design surface
Linework (For example: haul roads)

Publishing your mass haul plans to WorksOS enables you to track a job’s progress. You can also define the names of master cut and fill zones contained in the mass haul plan that is published. Sending design and surveyed surfaces, and linework representing existing roads, rivers, and other linear features to WorksOS allows you to view them in relation to your mass haul plans.

You can also use this command to select a WorksOS project for which you want to display machine overlay data. See Select a WorksOS Project.

The mass haul analysis is automatically archived when it is published to WorksOS.

Options:

The following data can be published:

Mass haul plan – Enter the Start and End dates for the mass haul plan. The Start Date must be within the WorksOS project dates and today onwards. The End date must be before the WorksOS project completion date and today onwards. The mass haul analysis is automatically archived in Business Center after a mass haul plan is published to WorksOS. Only balances on the usable ordinate are published to WorksOS.
Note: If you have edited the WorksOS Project completion date, edit the Business Center Project End date in Project Settings/General to make sure all valid mass haul dates are accepted.
Alignments - In the Project Explorer or Plan View, select the alignments to be published to WorksOS.
Design Surfaces - In the Project Explorer or Plan View, select the design surface to publish to WorksOS. If your Business Center project has a job site you can also select the design surface by selecting the job site design in the Project Explorer. The surfaces specified in the job site design will be published to WorksOS.
Surveyed Surfaces - A surveyed surface must have a survey date. Enter the Creation/survey date in the surface properties.
Linework - In the Plan View, select linework (for example haul roads) to publish to WorksOS.

Scenarios:

If a WorksOS project already has a surface with the same name and creation date the surface will be updated with the newly published surface. If the published surface has a different name or different creation date to existing WorksOS surfaces it will be imported as a different surface.
Zones that are within other zones forming holes or islands are not published to WorksOS.
