Id try removing the P_Tin_2025-0117 layer and shrink up the large vcl

The P_Tin_2025-0117 layer is not checked when sending to WM but comes along because the surface is dependent on it...I think? Is there a way to not have those lines or that layre sent?

I'm relieved that I didn't have to deal with Worksmanager in the last 18 month. We had the issue with the not broken dependencies already 4 years ago. That was the reason why we always exported SVD/SVL and uploaded manually. You're telling me that they haven't managed to fix this in the last 4 years!!!???

One other thing I realized while looking at the file, even with that P_Tin layer disabled, was the rather sluggish behavior of the 3D view in TBC. You still got about 27000 lines with over 200000 vertices on the screen. If TBC already struggles than Earthworks is going to crap itself.

With that Tin Layer it's 158000 lines with 478000 vertices.

The two contour layers with 418 lines alone bring 64000 nodes.

And get rid of all the grates and fences in P_Silt_Fences_3 and P_STRM_STRC_GRAT_3, 17800 lines with 95000 nodes.

If the linework is of no value to an excavator operator, then don't include it.

To manually break the dependency of a surface you can create a copy with "Offset surface" and 0.000.

We've encountered issues with transferring designs that include dependencies. However, we've found a solution to send designs without any dependencies. Here's the process:

1. Assign the WM Project: Assign your WM project to a TBC (Trimble Business Center) file.
2. Navigate to Project Explorer: Open the Project Explorer within TBC.
3. Access Project Properties: Navigate to the properties of the project.
4. Clean Up VCL: In the project properties, you'll find an option called "Clean up VCL." Set this option to "Yes."
5. Upload the Designs: Proceed to upload your designs.

By setting "Clean up VCL" to "Yes," you eliminate all dependent data from being transferred to the machine, ensuring a smoother and more efficient design transfer process.
