Initially, the following window appears, where we must manage the various files to be converted. Then its characteristics are shown.
Delete: If we press this button, it will be removed from the list to convert the element that is selected.
Name: We establish the name of the corresponding DTM file to be created, by default it will take the name of the selected XML file with the corresponding extension.
Points: This lets you select the different point files that you want to convert.
Surfaces: Likewise, you select the surface files to be converted.
Horizontal alignment/Segment: In this case, you can select either a horizontal alignment or segment. In case of selecting a segment, the program will automatically introduce the horizontal alignment, the cross-section and vertical alignment if they are contained in the segment
Cross section: Selection of cross section files to be exported.
See XML document: If you select this option, once the conversion is finished, the generated XML file will be opened by default in the operating system’s default browser.
