Design to Field
Overview
Design to Field is the name of a software component contained within the Leica Geo Office (LGO) application that allows data to be imported for
SmartWorx field software used on Leica Viva & 1200 GNSS and TPS sensors.
Design to Field allows many different data types to be imported for use on board a Leica Viva sensor, so that control points, background maps,
digital terrain models and road, rail and tunnel design data can be used within the SmartWorx Viva suite of applications.
Data may be imported from industry standard data formats such as LandXML, DXF and GSI, as well as from different proprietary formats using
importers available in MyWorld@Leica Geosystems website, and thus converted into a field-readable format.
Data importers are available for the following SmartWorx Viva job types:
Road job:
Road jobs store a collection of two or three dimensional lines or stringlines that define a road project for use with the SmartWorx
Viva Roads application. In many cases road projects are defined, in addition to their horizontal and vertical alignments, by crosssections instead of stringlines. In this case, Design to Field converts the cross-sections to stringlines based on the parameters set
by the user before storing the data onboard the sensor.
Rail job:
Rail jobs are used in conjunction with the SmartWorx Viva Rail application. Design to Field allows the horizontal and vertical
alignments of each track to be defined as well as the superelevation or cant for each track.
Tunnel job:
Tunnel jobs are used in conjunction with the SmartWorx Viva Tunnel application. Design to Field allows the horizontal and vertical
alignments of the tunnel to be defined as well as the design profiles of the tunnel.

Overview
Points, Lines and Areas importers allow these graphical entities to be imported into SmartWorx. The imported data may be directly staked-out or
used as a background map. However, for this last case in SmartWorx Viva it is preferable to attach the CAD file to the job (see Leica Viva
Technical Reference manual).
The information imported from each data format is format dependent as not all formats store the same data.

LandXML is a format that was designed to model and transfer Land Planning, Civil Engineering and Survey data between software applications. It
is now used as a standard data transfer format between most of the major software suppliers in the geomatics field. More information about
LandXML format may be found at the LandXML website: http://www.landxml.org
3.6
DXF is probably the most widespread format used for interchanging geomatics data until the present time. This format is based on coordinate
geometry elements and not on survey related entities. The main limitation when importing DXF data for surveying purposes is the lack of a point
ID for each point element. Although many solutions have been implemented in various survey software, no generic solution is available to solve
this problem. For this reason, points and lines are automatically assigned a point ID when imported from a DXF file based on the position of the
entity in the DXF file.
After selecting the DXF file to import, the user may select how the DXF
information should be imported:
Select Layers to import
This selection box allows the user to select which elements should be
imported from which layers of the DXF file.
DXF File Linear Units
Most DXF files are simply Cartesian units, so the corresponding linear
units must be chosen from the listbox.
Point/Line ID prefix
Points, lines and areas are sequentially numbered in the generated
SmartWorx Viva database, starting with the number 1 and incrementing
each point by 1. In addition, a prefix may be added to each point/line
number if required in this field.

The Design to Field DTM LandXML importer imports the digital terrain models in triangular format contained in the <Surfaces> section of a
LandXML file.
A single DTM job is created for each LandXML file but a separate surface is created in the Leica Viva job for each <Surface> in the <Surfaces>
section.
4.4
Triangular digital terrain models may be imported to SmartWorx Viva from DXF files. The triangles in the DXF file should be defined by the
3DFACE DXF entity.
After defining the DXF file containing the digital terrain model the importer scans the
DXF file and presents a list of all of the layers that contain 3DFACE entities.
For each selected DXF layer, a separate surface is created in the SmartWorx Viva
DTM job.
It is also necessary to define the linear units of the DXF file so that the information is
stored correctly on the Leica Viva sensor.
4.5
Digital terrain models in GSI format may be used on previous generations of Leica Geosystems sensors. The same GSI files can be imported for
use on Leica Viva sensors using the GSI DTM importer.
DTM models in GSI format may only contain one DTM surface.
It is not possible to import a standard GSI points file as a DTM, the data must be arranged in triangles and conform to the GSI DTM format
definition.

Overview
Design to Field is able to import road projects from a wide range of different formats and convert them into SmartWorx Viva format to be used in
Viva Roads application.
Road projects are generally defined by a Horizontal and a Vertical alignment. The rest of the project may be defined by Cross-sections at given
intervals along the horizontal alignment or by a series of longitudinal lines known as Lines or Stringlines.
Each Line is a 3D line defining an edge of the road model. A Line model is created from a collection of cross-sections by joining the vertices of
each cross-section to the preceding and following cross-section.
Design to Field can import both Cross-sections and Stringline data. Cross-section data are then converted into Stringlines during the import/export
process since SmartWorx Road data is Stringline based.
Cross-section
vertex
Given that a Cross-section may have more or less points than the
previous or next Cross-section, conflicts may arise when generating
Stringlines from Cross-section data. These conflicts need to be solved
before a Stringline model can be produced. Design to Field uses a
software component called Connection Editor to solve these conflicts.
Stringline
When Cross-section data are imported from the original data files, Crosssection vertices are joined together by Connection Editor in order to create
Stringlines using a series of criteria such as the distance from the vertex to
the centreline or the relative position of the vertex along the Cross-section.
In such cases, it is strongly recommended to check the connections
before creating the onboard files, in order to ensure that the conflicts have
been solved adequately or modify any erroneous connection, if required.

The generic process of creating a Road job from imported cross-sections is described in this section. The following screens may vary depending
on the information available in the imported data format. Any additional screens are explained in the section relating to each particular format. The
process of importing stringline data is similar but does not involve use of the Connection Editor.
a) To create a Road job using the Design to Field component select the Tools/Design to Field option of the Leica
Geo Office PC application.
b) Select the Importer Type Road Data.
c) Select the design format from the Importer drop-down list,
additional format converters can be added using the
Manage button.
d) To start the conversion, press the Import button.
e) If cross-sections are to be imported, browse to the files containing the horizontal alignment, vertical alignment and cross-sections and
press the Next button. Note that it is not required to work with a vertical alignment or cross-sections if these data are not available. If
stringlines are to be imported, then browse the main alignment and press Next.
f)
Design to Field

Enter the checking tolerances and press the Next button. During the importing
process, Design to Field reads the data selected in the previous step and checks
everything is geometrically coherent. If these horizontal and vertical tolerances are
exceeded during this process, an error sign will be displayed so as the user knows
where the error has occurred. In this case data should be verified and the importing
process restarted.
g) Once the data has been read successfully, a summary of the data is shown. The Finish button
should be pressed to close the import wizard. The data will now be displayed in the graphical
viewer for review and modification before creating the onboard files.
h) At this stage the data has been read from the file and the vertices of each cross-section have
been joined to the vertices in the preceding and following cross-section automatically. It is now
required to check the connections and modify them should the algorithm that connects the
vertices uses different criteria from the required ones. This may be done using the Connection
Editor.

Connection Editor
The Connection Editor allows cross-section based Road data to be converted to three-dimensional lines (stringlines) for use on SmartWorx Viva.
When cross-section data is imported from the original data files, the cross-section vertices are joined together in order to create stringlines using a
series of criteria such as the distance of the vertex from the centreline and the relative position of the vertex along the cross-section.
Created stringlines can be displayed and, if required, edited using the Connection Editor, accessible by clicking the

The Connection Editor is divided into three panels, from left to right:
A > Plan View
B > Cross-section View
C > Cross-section Data
Three consecutive Cross-sections are displayed simultaneously.
Plan View
The Plan View displays a 1D representation of the road design from above where all of the curves in the alignment have been taken away. This
view is focused on how the vertices of the cross-sections have been joined to create stringlines.
The zoom and pan tools in this view work in the same way as in the Viewer application, except that the vertical axis of the window is not scaled.
Any cross-section vertex may be selected with a mouse click. The corresponding vertex will also be highlighted in the Cross-Section View.
Cross-section View
The Cross-section View graphically displays cross-section data at chainages contained in the original data.
The zoom and pan tools in this view work in the same way as in the Viewer application in all three cross-section views.
Any cross-section vertex may be selected with a mouse click. The corresponding vertex will also be highlighted in the Plan View.
Cross-section Data

The maximum horizontal tolerance is the value applied to the stringline furthest from the centreline. Using the diagram as a reference, the
horizontal chord-curve difference that will be checked during conversion will be the value a.
It should be noted that the outermost stringline always has the maximum horizontal chord-curve difference (a) and that the innermost stringlines
will always have a chord-curve difference less than this maximum value (i.e. a will always be greater than b).
Once all conflicts have been solved, press the OK button to create the onboard data.
Note: If data are meant to be used in SmartWorx Viva, the generated folder containing several files can be stored as a sub-folder in DBX folder on
any supported device. If data are meant to be used in 1200 series, then generated files should be directly stored into DBX folder on the CF card.If
the path of the folder used for the new job was not the CF card used by the sensor, copy the newly created files to the DBX folder of the CF card
of the sensor.

Overview
Design to Field is able to import rail projects from a wide range of different formats and convert them into SmartWorx Viva format to be used in the
Viva Rail application.
Rail projects generally consist of a track design defined by a Horizontal and a Vertical alignment. Additionally, some parameters to define the
height of the rails relative to horizontal and vertical alignment are known as Superelevation or cant, and may be included in the project.
Design to Field allows the import of Superelevation parameters from a standard format as well as its manual definition, which can done by using
Rail Editor tool, embedded in Design to Field.
6.2
The generic process of creating a Rail job is described in this section. The following screens may vary depending on the information available in
the imported data format.
a) To create a Rail job using the Design to Field component select the Tools/Design to Field option of the Leica Geo Office PC application.
b) Select the Importer Type Rail Data.
c) Select the design format from the Importer drop-down list, additional format
converters can be added using the Manage button.
d) To start the conversion, press the Import button. This will open Rail Editor.
e) Select the rail design between Single or Double Track. Double track
definition is available for rail data with more than one track and each
having its own geometric definition. Alternatively, a third horizontal
alignment can also be defined and used for calculating the chainage of
both tracks (chainage centreline). Once the rail design is selected, press
Next. This will open Rail Editor tool.
6.3
Design to Field
Rail Editor
Rail Editor allows superelevation parameters be imported or entered manually and assigned to the corresponding chainages in the rail design.
6.3.1
Browse to the files containing the horizontal alignment, vertical alignment and
superelevation parameters and press Next key. Note that the superelevation file must have
been saved within Rail Editor previously. Superelevation values can be imported or entered
manually by pressing the
38
Design to Field
39
In the upper part of the menu Track Information is required. This comprises the following fields:
Superelevation type:
Left and Right: To define the height of the rails using one superelevation value for the left rail and another one for the right
rail.
By curve: To define the rails using a rotation point and a superelevation value.
Co-Planar: When using double tracks and projecting the vertical alignment to a different track, this defines the height of the rails of the
second track by extending the plane which runs through the rails of the first track.
Nominal Gauge: The default nominal distance between the active (internal) faces of the left and right rails. This value can be changed
if necessary for any rail definition (superelevation).
Superelevation Base: The distance over which the superlevation is applied. This distance is normally the distance between the
centres of both rails. This value can be changed if necessary for any rail definition.
Chainage Type: Defines the source of chainage values, in case an additional alignment is being used.
Default Rotation Axis: If a rotation point is used (superelevation by curve), this selection will be used as the default for all new rail
definitions. This value can be changed if necessary for any rail definition.
Default interpolation type: Linear, cubic or reverse curve, defines how different superelevation parameters are interpolated in between
two chainage definitions.
In the lower part of the menu Chainage Assignment is done. For this purpose, all four fields must be filled:
Once the parameters have been entered for a chainage value, press
Design to Field
Assignments can be modified by clicking on it, modifying the field and pressing
40
button.
To extract Superelevation data from an external LandXML file, such as that from a
Bentley InRail XML file, go to File, Import LandXML. The imported Superelevation
data will populate the table.
Once all values have been entered for the entire alignment, the superelevation file
can be saved in an XML format using Save from the File menu (from here it can be
later re-opened using Load).
To return to the Design To Field converter, select Exit from the File menu.
At this point, the process is the same as for Road jobs. Checking tolerances are asked and, if the whole dataset is geometrically coherent and fits
the tolerances, a summary of the data will be shown. Press Finish button and this will display the graphical viewer of the designed rail.
6.3.2
When a rail design consists of a double track then Double Track rail design is selected.
This option allows the definition of two different tracks (left and right) and, additionally, an optional separate chainage centreline.
The first menu defines a chainage centreline. Note that this is non-compulsory.
Design to Field
41
c) Select if the vertical definition is given by the centreline (axis), the lowest or
the highest rail.
In the lower part of the menu a scheme shows the current step:
Design to Field
42
Press the > (right) arrow and this will go to the next step regarding Left track definition.
The process to define the Left track is as below:
a) Browse to the Horizontal and Vertical alignments for the left track.
b) If no Vertical alignment is available, it can be selected to be calculated from the
Right track.
c) When calculating from the other track, how the chainages correspond must be
defined. Select whether this calculation will be done by projecting the values
from the right track (square to left track) or by intersecting from the right track
(square from the right track). Note that superelevation information is needed
for both tracks for this projection to work.
Superelevation for this track is defined by one of these two actions:
a) Browse an existing superelevation file (*.xml)
b) Click
Once the Left track has been defined, press the > (right) arrow to define the Right track. The definition for the Right track is similar to that for the
Left track.
When all tracks are defined, press Next.
At this point, the process is the same as for Road jobs. Checking tolerances are asked and, if the whole dataset is geometrically coherent and fits
the tolerances, a summary of the data will be shown. Press Finish and this will display the graphical viewer of the designed rail project.

In order to create a new tunnel profile template three tabs are available in the Table View:
7.3.1
Creating a profile
a) Enter the Profiles Overview tab to view current profiles. In the lower half of
the screen, right-click and select Add from the context menu to create a new
profile. Name the profile and double-click on it to open the Profile Definition
tab.
b) The profile definition is shown. Right-click into the lower half of the screen and select Add from the context menu to create the
segments of the tunnel profile. The profile will be displayed in the Graphical view showing the selected segment highlighted in red.
c) The segments are defined by segment type (Line or Curve) and its Start
and End point coordinates relative to the tunnel axis. The x-axis is the
horizontal axis and the y-axis is the vertical axis. As any segment is defined,

48
it will be displayed in the graphical view. Note that curve segments must not exceed 180, and should be entered in a clockwise
direction.
An existing profile can be also imported. Open and Import from the File menu are available to do so. Open is valid for a *.tpe file
previously created with the Tunnel Profile Editor. Import is able to read LandXML files containing tunnel profile information, as well as
simple ASCII files (*.txt), with the following format corresponding the image above:

BLOCK
DXF BLOCK entities are often used in DXF files to contain symbol information, given that this information is normally superfluous in the field and would interfere
with the selection of points and lines on the sensor screen, only the insertion point of the BLOCK entity is imported into the Leica Viva database. The point ID of
each point is assigned automatically based on the order of the BLOCK entities in the DXF file.
Each Leica Viva point imported from a DXF BLOCK is given a point code with the same name as the BLOCK. The point code is included in a point group with the
same name as the DXF layer of the BLOCK. The point code description of every DXF BLOCK imported into Leica Viva is set to the text DXF Block.
In the following example, the DXF BLOCK would be imported with the point code BENCHM. This point code would be placed in the point code group

8.3.1
The Design to Field LandXML road data importer imports data in both stringline and cross-section format. The definition for the horizontal and
vertical alignments is identical for all types of alignment models.
The horizontal and vertical alignments are contained in the <Alignment> section of the LandXML file which has the following format:
<Alignment name="Centerline" length="619.253000" staStart="100.000000">
<CoordGeom>
<Profile>
</Alignment>
The horizontal alignment is contained in the <CoordGeom> section and the vertical alignment is contained in the <Profile> section.
a) Horizontal alignment
It is possible to define the horizontal alignment with the following LandXML entities:
Line
Curve
Spiral
Line
The Line element defines the make up of a straight component in the stringline. The attribute staStart can be written to the element. This is the
start station (chainage) of the element.
For each Line element the following sub-elements are required:
62
Design to Field
Example:
A line element should look like:
<Line staStart="0.000000">
<Start>2000.000000 6000.000000</Start>
<End>2186.841000 6068.005000</End>
</Line>
Curve
The Curve element is used to define curves in the horizontal alignment of a stringline.
For each Curve element the following sub-elements are required:
staStart
crvType (Should be entered as arc)
Example:
63
Spiral
The element Spiral is used to define any spiral in the horizontal alignment.
For each Spiral element the following sub-elements are required:
PI
Start
End
Design to Field
64
Design to Field
65
staStart
desc
constant
INF is used to define a tangent (radius = infinity). The rot attribute defines whether the arc travels clockwise or counter-clockwise from the Start
to End point. The constant attribute can store the spiral constant. If the constant cannot be provided (through calculations or input or due to the
spiType) then the attribute value should be left blank.
Example:
This example is for a curve to tangent clothoid spiral:
<Spiral staStart="450.724000" desc="CurveToTangent" length="100.001000" radiusStart="99.999000" radiusEnd="INF" rot="cw" spiType="clothoid" constant="100">
<Start>2304.071000 6247.816000</Start>
<PI>2286.304084 6276.978259</PI>
<End>2227.794000 6310.759000</End>
</Spiral>
b) Vertical alignment
The element Prof must contain only one sub-element ProfAlign. Within this sub-element the vertical alignment is defined.
<Profile>
<ProfAlign name="VERTICAL ALIGNMENT">
</ProfAlign>
</Profile>
ProfAlign
The ProfAlign element contains the definition of the vertical alignment of the stringline.
There must be at least on sub-element in the ProfAlign. The ProfAlign element must contain one of the sub-elements:
Design to Field
Example:
This example contains the three supported elements:
<ProfAlign name="VERT">
<PVI>0.000000 0.000000</PVI>
<PVI>25.000000 5.000000</PVI>
<CircCurve length="15.047489" radius="100.000000">32.462310 6.065348</CircCurve>
<PVI>40.000000 6.000000</PVI>
<PVI>60.000000 6.500000</PVI>
<ParaCurve length="150.0000" desc="-2225.000000">110.000000 7.748596</ParaCurve>
<PVI>160.000000 6.750000</PVI>
</ProfAlign>
The PVI point represents the start or end point of any straight, circular curve, parabolic curve or any point on the vertical alignment. The PVI
contains a space delimited station (chainage) of the stringline and elevation.
Example:
In this example the PVI elements act as the start and end points for a straight running between station (chainage) 0.000 and 25.000.
<ProfAlign name="VERT">
<PVI>0.000000 0.000000</PVI>
<PVI>25.000000 5.000000</PVI>
</ProfAlign>
CircCurve
The CircCurve element represents part of what is needed to define a circular curve. The start and end coordinates are included in PVIs.
The CircCurve element requires the attributes:
66
Design to Field
length (length of the curve) The length is defined by the chainage difference between the start PVI point and end PVI point.

c) Cross-sections
Cross-section data may be imported using the LandXML <CrossSects> entity.
An example of a LandXML cross-section follows. A layer is created in the SmatWorx Viva database for each unique <CrossSectSurf> in the
LandXML file. The name of the layer onboard is the same as the <CrossSectSurf > name attribute (Layer 4 in the example).
<CrossSects>
<CrossSect sta="11270.000000">
<CrossSectSurf name="Layer 4">
<PntList2D>-3.500000 509.024000 0.000000 509.148000 6.949000 509.287000</PntList2D>
</CrossSectSurf>
</CrossSect>
</CrossSects>
d) Stringlines
Each stringlines in the LandXML file is stored as an <Alignment> with the following format:
<Alignment name="RL01" length="12684.981550" staStart="0.000000">
<CoordGeom>
<IrregularLine staStart="0.000000">
<Start>383106.333122 335289.793813</Start>
<End>389361.759948 345490.807029</End>
<PntList2D></PntList2D>
</IrregularLine>
</CoordGeom>
<Profile>
<ProfAlign name="RL01">
</ProfAlign>
</Profile>
</Alignment>
The horizontal part of the alignment consists of a two dimensional list of points and the vertical part of the stringline is stored as <Profile>.
Onboard the Leica Viva sensor, the stringline is given the same name as the corresponding <Alignment> in the LandXML file.
Note: A LandXML add-on software component is available for selected 3rd party road design software. This component reads a LandXML file
and converts the data to the Leica Viva onboard format. A more comprehensive description of the LandXML format used by Design to Field is
included with the add-on. Contact your local Leica Geosystems representative for more information.

Although the DXF format does not directly support road alignments, many infrastructure projects (e.g. housing estates) may be designed in CAD
programs that export DXF files with the aim of staking out the linear entities (e.g. walls, kerbs etc.) that the project contains. For this reason, it is
possible to read a DXF file and stakeout the linear entities of the DXF file using the Roads Line method.
The Design to Field DXF road data importer converts the following DXF entities into stringlines:
LINE
ARC
POLYLINE
LWPOLYLINE

The MX Genio format is a stringline based format thus no conversion from cross-sections to stringlines is necessary.
All data, horizontal alignment, vertical alignment and all stringlines are contained within the same data file.
76
Design to Field
77
Note:
There are some differences in the way the Viva Roads and MX handle stringlines. Users should be aware of these differences when making a
conversion from an MX/Moss file in GENIO format:
- Only one instance of a stringline can be used in Viva Roads. The stringline may have gaps and appear and disappear throughout the job but the
relative position of the stringline in the design cannot change. In MX it is possible for a stringline with the same name to appear in an infinite
number of positions in the design.
- In MX a stringline may crossover itself (e.g. an exit ramp), if the exact chainage where this occurs is selected in the Viva Roads application, the
relative order of the stringlines may not be maintained.
- MX allows different stringlines to cross over each other, if the exact chainage where this occurs is selected in the Viva Roads application, the

: Correlative number of element within file. Should start with 1 and increment in steps of 1.
: Chainage at start of element
: Eastings ordinate at start of element
: Northings ordinate at start of element
: Bearing of alignment at start of element
: Radius of curvature of element.
The value of the clothoid parameter (always positive)
The length of the element.
Note:
nn) If the curve is towards the left in the direction of increasing chainage, the radius is negative.
oo) If the element is a straight the radius is 0.
pp) If the element is the start of a clothoid (spiral) whose radius is infinite at the start of the element, the radius should have a value of 0.001 if
it turns to the right and -0.001 if it turns left.
qq) If the element is the start of a clothoid (spiral) whose radius is a known value, the known radius at the start of the clothoid should be used.

: Correlative number of element within file. Should start with 1 and increment in steps of 1.
: Chainage at start of element
: Height at start of element
: Slope in %, positive if element rises, negative if element falls
: Parabolic parameter (kV)
The length of the element.
Note:
rr) If the element is a straight, the parameter has a value of 0
ss) If the element is a parabola, the sign of the parameter is given by subtracting the entry slope from the exit slope (p1 p2). If the result of
the subtraction is negative, the value of the parameter will also be negative.
