Trimble Access 2018

▪ General overview 2018– Main differences to 2017– Favourites and Fn keys– Measure Codes– Cogo– Measure to surface– IFC

▪ Syncing files between the office and the field ▪ 12da Road stake out

Why the new Trimble Access design?

▪ Modern looking interface

▪ Better utilize the larger screen on TSC7 and T10

▪ Enhance Function key support for faster access

▪ Better integration between the field and office

▪ Make Trimble Access even easier to use

Design Process

▪ We contracted UI UX design specialists

▪ They worked very closely with the team to

understand our customers’ needs

▪ Their brief:

– Simpler, more intuitive software

– Easier access to features, from anywhere

– Easier to learn, more consistent

– TSC7 support – larger screen, Fn keys etc

– Powerful Project & Job management/syncing

– … while still keeping the software familiar to

existing users, enabling a painless transition

Navigation

▪ Main menu aka Burger button – Direct access to Favourites– Shortcut keys on Favourites buttons – Return to down the right– Arrow back to get into the menu, or– Use menu shortcuts; “M = Measure”, “H = Help”, “E = Exit”– Long press brings up GNNS / Instrument functions

▪ Menu available from anywhere– Current Project and Job visible at the top

▪ App switching easy▪ Instrument and Settings more accessible – for all apps

Main menu

Favourites and Function keys

Function keys

Maximize function key usage▪ Easier to assign▪ Advertise▪ More config options

Assign special functions to Fn keys

Getting starting

▪ Don’t force you to log in– Log in when you want to - if you want to sync data

▪ No user name folders– People sharing a controller can now share project/jobs

▪ Data synchronization integrated at the Project and Job level– No longer a separate ‘AccessSync’ application– Easy to download jobs assigned to you

▪ Or search and download jobs not assigned

– Mark a job as Complete and sync it back to TBC

Projects

▪ Projects are where you begin when starting Trimble Access▪ Last Project, and last Job in each project remembered

– Use arrow keys to scroll through projects– View properties on the right to help locate the right project

▪ Enter, Open, Downloador double tap to select the Project and move to Jobs

▪ Tap New to create a new Project– After creating the project you are taken directly to New job form

Projects

▪ A project is, in it’s simplest form, a folder

▪ Using Projects helps you manage project data in folders

▪ You must have one Project, but can keep every job in the one project if you really want to

▪ Projects coming from TBC inherit properties from TBC project

Projects

▪ Additional properties in panel on right include– Description, Reference, Location– Jobs within the project

Our intention was to make using Projects and Jobs powerful and easy

Cogo and Fast fix - Demo

▪ Demo computing point– From line intersection– From a baseline with two known points– From a baseline using Fast fix

Map and DXF

▪ With the powerful TSC7 processor, and larger bright screen, as well as a move away from Windows Mobile, DXF performance is now significantly better– ~4Mb is no longer the limit like on TSC3– Larger DXFs are now quick to load and snappy to use

▪ Finger control for zooming and panning▪ Tap n hold on Zoom extents options

– Configurable zoom extents– Ctrl Z – undo last pan/zoom

Viewing SX10 scans in 3D

Measure to Surface

▪ Measure the perpendicular distance to a surface model

Stakeout from IFC file (BIM Model)

▪ Select vertices and lines for stakeout from an IFC▪ Switch been solid and wireframe view

Stakeout from IFC file

• Office -> Field -> Office data syncing

• Overview + Demo

Trimble Sync Manager

Trimble Sync Manager

Trimble Sync Manager is a Geospatial utility that exchanges data between Trimble Access

and the office using the Trimble Connect cloud

▪ Desktop interface▪ Survey focussed▪ Integrated with Trimble Access 2018▪ Integrated with Trimble Business Center▪ Standalone with 3rd party office software▪ Task based workflows▪ Job creation and review

Trimble Sync Manager Overview

Select data using Trimble Business Center.Or from your desktop.

Create and send jobs, incl linked files, to your team with Trimble Sync Manager.

Connect, download and start work in Trimble Access.Sync back to the office.

Track, review and report on the returned data with Trimble Sync Manager.

Import job to Trimble Business Center or download to desktop, for office processing and generation of deliverables.

TBC & TSM – Send data to the field

Non-Trimble Office software using TSM

▪ Create projects in TSM, then ▪ Create jobs in TSM, using a Trimble Access job/template

– Sets Units, Calibration, etc– Can include control points

▪ Drop files like CSV, DXF, MOS, 12da into TSM– Files are automatically downloaded with job– And linked to the job, ready to start work

Syncing Jobs and Projects

▪ Sync Projects and Jobs– See just the Jobs assigned to you– Or see and search for all jobs

▪ Mark a job as completed– Syncs job automatically– Or sync back to office as needed

▪ Review in TSM, Import to TBC– Automatic report / file creation– Rework, if necessary

Review and Import Job

Rework Job

Syncing Jobs and Projects

▪ Demo

• Jobs delivered to field with all files set up ready to start surveying• Easier field and office processes• Data syncing integrated into Projects & Jobs• Less job configuration in the field• Jobs can be assigned to people• Getting to work is easier and faster

• Easier for crews to use more sophisticated workflows

• Streamlines data syncing, QC, reporting, and processing into office sw

• Service included with valid software maintenance

Tight integration between TBC and Trimble Access

Trimble Sync Manager value over AccessSync

12da Roads

▪ Many requests for supporting 12da files directly in Trimble Access

▪ 12da road designs are string based▪ GENIO roads also string based▪ Logical solution - Convert 12da files into GENIO .mos roads▪ Utility integrated into Trimble Access to do this

– Also run utility standalone on your PC

Save as GENIO

Process to turn 12da into GENIO

Select layers / models in 12da

Select GENIO strings to define road(s)

12da –> GENIO in more detail

▪ Add the 12da file to the Project folder▪ From the map, tap then tap

▪ This runs the conversion utility1. Select the 12da file2. The models (layers) in the 12da file are displayed, select the

models you want to create a road from▪ You must select at least one model with a fully defined Horizontal and

Vertical alignment (master/12D/6D strings) – which are coloured red▪ Name the GENIO file, it is saved as a .mos file

Select the 12d models / layers

Save 12d data to GENIO file

Select Strings to define the Road

▪ GENIO files– A 6D string: Known as the master string

▪ Created from fully defined Hz and Vt alignments ▪ Horizontal alignment of the road defined as a series of points ▪ GENIO road must include one 6D string▪ You can stake a 6D string without creating a ‘road’▪ Used to calculate the station values of the 3D and 5D strings

– 3D strings - define other features of the road▪ Shoulder, edge of seal etc defined as a series of three-dimensional

points– 5D strings - the interface string

▪ Used to define the side slope / batter

Selecting Strings to define the Road

▪ From a GENIO file we pick the strings we are interested in to create a GENIO road– Graphically, or from a list– Road must contain one master

▪ Road is saved to GENIO .mos file– Multiple roads can be saved to one GENIO file– Define the road once, then stake with Trimble Access Roads

GENIO Road stakeout

▪ Control the Roads displayed in the map from ▪ Tap the Road to select ▪ From the map you can; Edit, Review & Survey

GENIO Road stakeout

Three main methods of Road stakeout

1. Measuring your position Relative to road- Initial mode- Show current Stn, Offset, Cut/fill

2. Stake out relative to a selected String- Tap the linework to select a string- Navigation to string; Stn, Go L/R, Cut/fill

3. Stake out a selected Station on a string- Tap a circle to select a station on a string- Navigation to station on string; ; Go Fwd/Bk, Go L/R, Cut/fill

Selecting stations

▪ Tap in the Map to select a station▪ Use the arrow keys to move up/down station, across strings▪ Tap and hold menu to select

Construction offsets

In both plan and cross section view▪ Construction offset is indicated by a green line▪ Double circle indicates the selected position adjusted for

the construction offsets.

Define construction offsets

Define construction offsets

Horizontal construction offsets

A horizontal offset can be applied:▪ Horizontally▪ At the slope of the previous element in the cross section▪ At the slope of the next element in the cross section▪ To the left or right of the string being staked

Horizontal construction offsets

A horizontal offset can be applied:▪ Perpendicular to the master string▪ Perpendicular to the sub string

Other construction offsets

A horizontal offset can also be defined by:

▪ Calculated distance from your current position to the position selected to stake

▪ Distance from the position selected to stake to the master string

Vertical construction offsets

A vertical offset can be applied up or down:▪ Vertically▪ Perpendicular to the element in the cross section that is

before the point being staked

Skew offsets

▪ Used to stake a position that is not defined at a right angle to the horizontal/master alignment

▪ For example; staking culverts or bridge abutments

▪ Elevation can be defined by:– Slope from string– Delta from string– Key in elevation

Skew offsets

Cross slope and Subgrade

Cross slopeDefine a cross slope when you need to confirm the construction of a road surface – typically the carriageway

SubgradeDefine a subgrade when the cross section represents the finished road surface and you need to stake the points defining other surfaces in the road – typically the subgrade

Stake side slope catch point (5D interface string)

▪ Catch point is determined iteratively▪ Roads calculates the Horizontal intersection of your current

position with the cut or fill side slope – Slope is defined by slope between 5D interface string and adjacent

3D string– 5D strings created from strings

starting with IA or INT

Stake side slope catch point (5D interface string)

Stake side slope catch point (5D interface string)

12da road stakeout

Secondary road deltas

▪ Selecting a secondary road enables you to mark the staked deltas for both the primary and secondary road on the one stake
