Alignments Site

Note: The default selection is <None>, which places the alignments in the top-level Alignments collection in Prospector.
Parcels Site

Data Tree

Lists the LandXML header information for each data component that can be imported. Expand each of the collections to display all of the subcomponents.

Select or clear the check boxes to the left of each data component name to filter the data that is imported into AutoCAD Civil 3D. By default, all data components are selected for import.

Note: The check boxes have a tri-state display. If only some items are selected under a collection, the check box is shaded . If all items are selected, the check box is selected . If all items below the collection are cleared, the check box for the collection is cleared .
OK

Converts LandXML data into AutoCAD Civil 3D objects. Imports each object from the LandXML file into the AutoCAD Civil 3D drawing using the name as specified in the LandXML file.

Each object uses the appropriate creation behavior based on the command setting for the object being imported. For example, if the Surface Default Style is set to High Altitude, any surfaces imported with this operation will use the High Altitude style.

Note: As each object is imported, the Event Viewer Vista dialog box can display the status of each operation.
