 Workflow to Compare Surveyed Points to DXF Linework (Horizontal Offset + Elevation Delta)

Hi all,

I’m looking for a reliable way to compare surveyed points (imported from CSV) to design linework (from DXF Or Polyline) in Trimble Business Center. I want to extract:

  • The horizontal (perpendicular) offset from each point to the nearest line segment

  • The vertical elevation difference between the point and the line (or its elevation if it's 3D)

  • Ideally export or view this in a report or table

This is for as-built verification — I stake out linework in the field, then weeks later I shoot what was built and want to compare what I shot to the original design lines, not to design points.

Thanks!
