Using Trimble Business Centre for Post processing, RTK or Terrestrial data

Overview:

With Trimble Business Centre software you can effortlessly transfer GNSS and optical field data into the office for data processing. TBC allows seamless data exchange between Trimble systems and standard data formats, so, after effortless import and processing, simply export your data to the third-party design software of choice. In addition to GNSS data processing, TBC provides Survey feature coding, surface modelling, earthwork calculations and road data management tools.

Objectives:

Create Projects for various coordinate systems, Import, process and troubleshoot raw GNSS data, Adjust your data, Perform Site Calibrations that can be used in Survey Controller or Access, Process feature codes, Create and edit surfaces and Transfer Data to third party software or Trimble devices.

This course is ideal for both experienced and junior Engineers and Surveyors

Terramodel for Earthworks & Site modelling

Overview:

Terramodel is Trimble's original drafting, engineering and design package. This course provides an overview of the drafting and engineering capabilities of Terramodel allowing the Site Surveyor or Engineer to fulfil their requirements for office deliverables.

Objectives:

Import Raw Total station, GNSS coordinate data, XYZ, DXF and other data files, Draft surveyed points and lines with the Autodraft command, Generate models, edit triangles and breaklines, Produce contours, Generate profiles, cross sections and Volume reports, Export data in various industry formats.

Introduction to Laser Scanning with the Trimble FX and Realworks

Overview:

Realworks is the Post Processing software for 3D spatial imaging (laser scanning) data. 3D Scanning is a powerful technology that uses laser measurement technology to obtain measurements at many thousands of points per second. Laser scanning offers great productivity benefits if you can use the full capabilities of the Realworks processing software, but like everything else, it is of limited value if you don't understand how to Make the most of the data you collect. This course will teach you how to produce deliverables from your point cloud that your client will be satisfied with.

This course provides an introduction into the techniques required when using Trimble scanners, and will show you the most efficient workflow when using Realworks to ensure your deliverables are produced on time and to spec. Suitable for Surveyors or Engineers with no experience with Laser Scanning technology.

Objectives:

Understand and use the Trimble scanners efficiently and productively. Import,  manage and manipulate point cloud data, Registartion of the point cloud, Selection and segmenation of the point cloud data, Mesh creation for modelling and photo rendering, Cross section creation for export to AutoCAD, Produce volume and surface comparisons.
