Leapfrog / Seequent Data Exports

Does anybody have any suggestions / tips for Data Export from Leapfrog (Bentley Geotechincal modelling) into Surfaces in TBC?

Job is a 12km Motorway for which I need to start doing some Mass Haul analysis - and the Geotech will be revised in 6 months so I'll need to repeat the whole process

Currently 10 distinct Material layers of varying location and depths

I've tried asking for DGN and 3d DXF exports but

DGN only seems to import as a 3dShell into TBC - I can then Explode them using RPS Explode solids for a couple of the files but a 17mb file just "hangs" for 2 hours
3d DXF is just too big a file 220 mb for one surface - and the triangles join across regions

I've worked out a solution,

Using 3d DXF from LeapFrog for each surface
I've imported that into GlobalMapper (it handles large datasets a lot quicker)

Then right clicked that data set (Layer) and
Layer - EXPORT
Selected LandXML format
Imported into TBC - it respects Regions and creates surface (there are some Surface error flags but I'm ignoring those)
