Notes on using the LandXML to RoadXML file style sheet
======================================================

The LandXML to RoadXML file style sheet is designed to be used only with the 
ASCII File Generator program.  The style sheet will cater for the different 
element structures in the LandXML version 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 files.  The style 
sheet is named 'LandXML To RoadXML.xsl'.

The style sheet will let you convert a LandXML file containing horizontal 
alignment, vertical profile and cross-section data to a RoadXML containing 
the same design data.  Note that as the road design data in a LandXML file 
can be recorded in the file in a wide variety of forms, the style sheet may 
not be able to successfully interpret the data in the LandXML file.

If you do not already have the ASCII File Generator program installed on 
your computer, you can install it from the following URL:
http://www.trimble.com/tsc_ts.asp?Nav=Collection-59798
After installation the ASCII File Generator program is available from the 
Start|Programs|Trimble Office|Utilities menu group.

The ASCII File Generator installation will place a number of style sheet files 
in the \Trimble Style Sheets\Custom ASCII Files folder and you can add the 
downloaded 'LandXML To RoadXML.xsl' to the folder.

Carry out the following steps to extract the road definition from a LandXML 
and write it out to a RoadXML file:

1. Start the ASCII File Generator program and select the appropriate LandXML 
   file using the Browse... button associated with the 'Source JobXML or Job 
   file' field.  In the Open File dialog presented select 'XML files' from the 
   drop down list in the 'Files of type' field to assist in locating the LandXML 
   file. 

2. Select the 'LandXML To RoadXML' option in the 'Output format' field.

3. Click OK to start the conversion operation.

4. If there is more than 1 alignment defined in the LandXML file, a pop-up 
   dialog will be presented asking you to select the alignment to be exported. 
   Choose the alignment you want exported to the RoadXML file from the drop 
   down list of available alignments.

5. If there is 1 or more cross-section surfaces defined in the LandXML file 
   for the selected alignment, a pop-up dialog will be presented asking you to 
   select the cross-section surface to be exported and specify whether or not 
   the last template element extracted from the cross-section surface should be 
   set as a side slope.  Choose the surface you want exported to the RoadXML 
   file from the drop down list of available surfaces and choose whether the
   last template element is to be set as a side slope.  If the LandXML file
   defines the cross-section surfaces using DesignCrossSectSurf elements an
   extra option will be displayed allowing you to specify whether the design
   cross-section elevations are absolute and not relative elevations (since 
   this is ambiguous in the LandXML format definition).

After these steps the RoadXML file will be written and you are provided with a 
File Save dialog to let you choose where the RoadXML file should be saved.
