Sharing a model in TFL
How do you share an edited Trimble Field Link Model (Map Merge)?
Creating the File
- Open TFL
- Create a new Job with the name desired (ex. Test 1)
- Bring in your drawing (DWG, DXF, IFC, PDF) The system has now created a new file with the same name as your Job but now as a TRB (ex. Test 1.TRB)
- Click on the Model Management Feature (inside the zipper by the lowercase i on the bottom right of Trimble Field Link)
- Click on the model(s) you would like to edit
- Click the pencil above the drawing
- Edit the model to what needs to be done (stacking, rotation, scale, orientation, etc.)
Creating the Folder
- After you have changed the File you can exit out of Trimble Field Link
- Create a Folder to place the data. This could be on your desktop, USB, or Trimble Connect (ex. Scaled Drawing Folder)
- Go to Documents -> Trimble Field Link -> Jobs
- Find and Copy the Files that have been created for this job. There should be a TFL, TRB, and a DAT folder (ex. Test 1.dat folder, Test 1 TRB, Test 1 TFL)
- Paste these files in the folder you created on your desktop/USB/Connect (ex. Scaled Drawing Folder)
Open the Edited File
- Open Trimble Field Link
- Click on More -> Jobs -> Manage
- Choose on the left side where the data was stored (Desktop, Connect, USB)
- Click the File (should only be one file to choose from if done right)
- Click Open
The edited drawing should be ready to share
