Create a Job Site Design

Create job site designs and add design data, such as a surface model, stakeout points, and design map objects, so that they can be sent to specific controllers to be used on the job site. Multiple designs can be associated with a site.

Designs that you add or create become objects within your project. A design is essentially a container in which you can designate portions of the project data as design data for use on the job site, making it available to field crews using site positioning or grade control systems. In addition, you can upload job site design files, such as surface and linework to WorksOS, via the Connected Community (TCC).

Job site

To create a job site design:

Do one of the following:
- Select Create Job Site Design in Construction Data > Controllers.
- Right-click a job site, and select Create Job Site Design from the context menu.
The Create Job Site Design command pane displays.
Type a unique name in the Design name box.
Check the box for each controller you want to assign the design to in the Controllers group.
Note: You can create a design without assigning it to any controllers, but the design will not be saved to, or used on, controllers until you do so. The design and design data are saved in your project until the design is assigned to specific controllers.
Check the Synchronize with Business Data Center via Office Synchronizer box if you want to upload the job site design files into your data synchronization area in preparation for synchronizing with TCC to make them available to WorksOS. See the Publish Field Data To Business Data Center help topic.
Note: Both the machine design files and the WorksOS files can be synchronized, when you run the Office Synchronizer.
Click OK. The second Job Site Design Manager command pane displays, and the design appears in the Project Explorer. See Edit Job Site Design Data.

To delete a job site design:

Select the design in the Project Explorer.
Do one of the following:
- Right-click and select Delete from the context menu.
- Press [Ctrl] + [D].
If the design is assigned to controllers, it becomes an external job site design, is moved into External Designs in the Project Explorer, and remains in your data synchronization area.
If the design is not assigned to any controllers, it is removed from your project and the data synchronization area, and disappears from the Project Explorer.
Note: If you delete a design using SCS Data Manager or Windows^® Explorer, it remains in your project, but assignments to any controllers are lost.

To delete an external job site design:

Right-click an external design in the Project Explorer, and select Reassign External Job Site Design from the context menu. The Reassign External Job Site Design dialog displays.
Uncheck the box for each controller.
Click OK. A confirmation message displays.
Click Yes. The design is removed from the Project Explorer and the data synchronization area.
