Earthworks Version 2.17
Trimble has announced the release of its latest version of Earthworks, 2.17. Please contact your SITECH Northland sales representative if you have any questions regarding compatibility with your machines, or reach out to the Ziegler Technology Support team if you need assistance with installing and applying a firmware update.
3D Lines extended functionality update
Earthworks version 2.17 enhances the capabilities of the 3D line function. When selecting a 3D line for guidance, there will be two new options which are Slope Guidance, and Dual Slope Guidance. Slope guidance will give the operator the ability to create a sloped surface in relation to the selected line at a width of their choosing. Dual slop will allow for the creation of two differing slopes relative to the selected line.
LandXML design support
Trimble has expanded the design file support for Earthworks to include the LandXML file type. This file will simply need to be saved into the appropriate Designs folder when uploading the design to a machine.
NOTE: LandXML file support will only allow design input via USB. You will not be able to upload a LandXML through Works Manager at this time.
