How to Import Haul Road Data (Centerlines) for Haul Road Analysis

Use the Import option to bring your own road centerlines into Haul Road AI. Centerlines are the road centerline geometry exported from civil design software such as Civil 3D or Trimble.

Two file formats are supported: LandXML (.xml) for alignments and survey data, and DXF (.dxf) for polylines from CAD tools.

  1. In the Haul Road AI panel, click Import at the bottom of the panel. The Import Centerlines window opens. It has three stages at the top: Upload, Configure and Preview.
  2. Under Select Format, choose LandXML (.xml) or DXF (.dxf), depending on your file. The upload area is available only after you select a format.
  3. Drag your file into the Upload File area, or click the area to browse for it.
  4. Click Parse File. The alignments and polylines in the file are extracted automatically.
  5. Continue through the Configure and Preview stages to check and confirm the imported centerlines.
