Trimble Business Center

Hello, 

         I am new to  TBC-HCE. When reading 'Installation and Basic Operations' I am prompted to import a 'Trimble building .layer' file. My problem is that I can't find a download for that file anywhere. I know its not necessary, but it would cut my prep work drastically. Also, is there a basic materials list to build from or is that something i have to start from scratch.

Thanks in advance

Hi Cody,

I'll see if I can help.

• Where are you finding the 'Installation and Basic Operations' topic that references a 'Trimble building .layer' file? That's not familiar to me, but I can try to get ahold of the file for you.
• Some of the default templates include a Material and Site Improvement Library you can start with. For example, start a project using the US Survey Foot Site Takeoff template. Then select Surfaces > MSI Manager on the ribbon. When you expand the groups in the explorer pane on the left, you will see many materials and site improvements. In the Material and Site Improvement Manager, (MSIM) you can also select File > Open External File on the menu, and browse to C:\Program Files\Trimble\Trimble Business Center\Support\iv where you will find a few library files (.mxl).
