Combine XML Surfaces

[mcjohn]

Hi,

 

I'm using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012. I have multiple XML files that I can import one by one as surfaces: File - Import - Import LandXML. How can I combine these surfaces? I've never worked with XML files.

 

Thanks, John.

Also, these are adjacent surfaces created as tiles from lidar data.

Is this standard practice?

 

1. File – Import – Import LandXML each XML tile to automatically create multiple surfaces in one file

2. Select one surface – Definition – Edits – r-click – Paste Surface – select all other surfaces

3. These surfaces are all linked so can’t delete the duplicates so File – Export – Export to LandXML - select combined surface

4. File – Import – Import LandXML combined surface
