Create a layer for each, and then Topo the top off the pile ( preferably flat as it can be), and Topo the bottom (toe of pile). Select all points and make each one a surface. Then go to, tools and compare surfaces

Yes, the 70406-D is the same cable. The machine should have shipped with a small adapter cable that plugs in under the back panel. Komatsu PN: 14Y-06-47930

@@ctpusa1 thanks for the response… I did get the #70406E which has the 4pin deutsch for 2.0 from the good people you recommended over at Western States Cable…

That is what this process is doing. It's using the points or lines you shoot to create a surface that you can export to a machine if desired.

I can't honestly say. We are not using or supporting these anymore. I can say that Stonex Cube A does have this feature and is an affordable software if you're in the market for something.

If it's a 900 mHz radio you can go the base station and look at the faceplate. It will say "NET" and a number. That is the Network, or Radio channel the base is broadcasting on.

Possibly, what is the purpose of the pdf? Are you wanting to see contours?

You go to the Control Tab and Edit the machine file. Don't change anything in the machine settings, but on the last page it will give you the option to set the indicator lights on the left right and center to cut/fill or offline guidance. I always set them at 3/5 for the setting. I don't really know what that correlates to, but should be easy enough to check it against your cut/fill values if you want to know.

Unless you set it to use a different datum it will reference the ellipsoidal height. Here is a link to a decent article explaining the difference between them. www.propelleraero.com/blog/geoids-vs-ellipsoids-whats-the-difference/

You are welcome

Both. We sell used Topcon equipment, but I started as an end user and then product support through a dealer.

I could definately see that. I personally just have never found a need to run it. I've seen it cause more problems than it solves.

If you hit the Menu>Control>Machine Setup. Select the machine file and hit Edit. Don't change any settings just hit next till you get to the lightbars. You can then configure the left, right and middle to your liking.

@constructiontechnologypart2040 Thanks dude finally got them thanks to you 🫡🫡

Most likely whomever is producing the .dxf is exporting it as a newer CAD file. I typically stick with 2014 and it seems to work well with older stuff. I noticed around 2019 that some of the newer CAD wasn't well liked by the older software like Office 3D.

@@ctpusa1 oh ok that must be it then. There is no way around it then? There is no version of 3D Office that supports newer cad files?

@@littlenel17 7 months later but Office 3D was discontinued by Topcon. They want people to use Magnet now, which as far as I know doesnt have a free version.

@@tylercase3199 better late than never…thanks for that

Yep, old video. New ones have been much better. I've tried to post edit it, but have not been successful.

When you say control file, are you referencing the App file in the base, or did you start the base on a saved control point through the data collector?

@@ctpusa1 yea sorry I meant on a known control point

@@mrcupcakeman32 Huh, the base position error is indicating that the autonomous base position is not agreeing with the input or assigned position. If the control point is not part of the localization I could see that happening, but if it is part of the localization I would compare the geodetic coordinates of the saved point vs. the point of the base. You can view these in the log file on the data collector and by scrolling up/down on the main faceplate of the base.

@@ctpusa1 yes your correct something was wrong with the control file and calibration they gave us, I'm gonna find out exactly what the issue was so I know for future reference. thanks alot for your help!

Please help , how can I connect this receiver to the controller via Bluetooth?

There is a possibility that the Work Equipment Handle (joystick) has some excessive play in it. If you notice play in it, it can cause the blade to be jerky or act erratically. There is a service bulletin for this through Komatsu. It could also be a bad design. You could create a flat pad and see if it works any better on a level surface. If the machine used to work fine I would lean towards one of the prior things I've mentioned. If not, it could be a variety of calibration issues or stroke sensor issues. If you don't have a Komatsu TSE to talk to let me know where you are located and I can probably get you in touch with someone near you.

I would be curious to see the density of the triangulated surface. If it is really dense if can lock up and shutdown the software, especially on older hardware like the GX-60s

@constructiontechnologypart2040 it's for mass grading so my initial thought was the file was just too large but we've uploaded files double the size with no issues but yes maybe the density has something to do with it. I've tried clipping down the surface into three segments with no luck either so kind of at a standstill.

@@fixanythingsavemoney you're welcome to send me the .tp3. I'd take a look at it when I have a minute and see if I have any suggestions support@myconstructiontechnology.com

You can go to the radio settings a do a "direct network connection". This utilizes the SIM card in the SL-100 modem in the machine to get base corrections from a public or private VRS (virtual reference station) network. I made another video showing how to do it on a Komatsu excavator. I should do something more covering the topic because networks are becoming more available.

It should be the same on 1.0 and 2.0 IMC machines.

Yeah definitely, in the data collector if you go to Data > Layers you can select a layer (curb or building, etc) and change the line color to whatever you desire. We try and standardize our models that we build so that the line colors are always (Blue = Storm) the same making it easier for the operators to understand. In Topcon machines you go to File > Layers and you should be able to change it there. If you're not sure what layer a line is on you can hold down on the line or select it and hit the little i in the bottom corner and it should give you the line properties, including the layer

Yeah that can definitely work. I tried and test all sorts of different batteries and solar panels. I have plans to make a video covering some of the best combos I've come up with at some point.

Appreciate it, doing my best to keep it simple

If you know you have a overdig or something for a retaining wall, etc. Talk to your model builder about putting the overdig or cut shelf into the model. It's easy to model the finish product, but that isn't what the machine(s) are building typically.

I had to turn off and turn on the Data roaming button from the phone using the hotspot. Or recheck the hotspot.

You'll want to use a projection and not a localization for running off the network in thar situation. If you go to Data, Control Points, Options , and change it from GPS Localize to Known Projection/Datum. You will have to select your projection and datum from a predefined list in pocket 3d. You also could just pick a point to be a control point. Enter it in the control point list as something like N:50000 E:30000 El: 1000 and then go from there. There should be some videos in my Pocket 3D Playlist that covers most of this.

@@ctpusa1 I tried going into data, control points, options and I only have 2 menus. Grid and Display. I don’t have those other options..maybe because I’m running a demo version of pocket 3D. But I am able to connect to the network and get rtk. I just can’t get those menus in the control points options.

Maybe it's a version thing idk. I can try and post a link to the 13.10 version emulator. I'll put it in the comments when I get a chance.

The focus point (orange triangle on blade) is where it is getting the location info (Northing, easting) and Elevation from. I believe in the newer versions it will allow you to select left, middle or right. I always move the control to my left tip and put it on what I'm trying to measure. You can also take shots with the rover and just enter the points and select them. That is my preferred method if it is anything complicated I'm trying to build.

In your video the orange triangle is in the center and it put your CL on the left side of your blade. My model doesn’t show if I can pick a side. So with my rover make a point at the top of my ditch and bottom and then just enter the points?
