EXPORT

Export to DXF, GeoTIFF, CSV, KMZ and LandXML

Analysis is only useful if it leaves the app cleanly. STREAM exports to the formats your downstream tools expect — DXF for CAD vectors, LandXML when the receiving software needs the surface itself rather than a drawing of it, CSV for coordinate tables, GeoTIFF for georeferenced rasters, KMZ for Google Earth and PDF for print-ready reports.

Deliverables, not dead ends

Every result in STREAM — vectors, contours, cross-sections, analysis layers, volumes — is built to be exported, so it flows into CAD, GIS and reports without manual rework.

Georeferencing is preserved on export, so rasters and vectors land correctly in the receiving tool.

Export (DXF, GeoTIFF, CSV, KMZ) in STREAM

DXF for CAD

Export vectors, contours and cross-section drawings to DXF, keeping layers, for use in CAD.

LandXML surfaces

Export a triangulated surface as a LandXML 1.2 Surface, with survey points as CgPoint and the coordinate system written into the file — the topology DXF cannot carry.

GeoTIFF rasters

Export analysis results and cut/fill heat maps as georeferenced GeoTIFF for GIS.

CSV tables

Export coordinates, points and measurement tables as CSV for spreadsheets and reports.

PDF reports

Produce print-ready PDF reports for stockpile volume and change detection.

How to get results out of STREAM

  1. 1

    Decide what the deliverable is

    A drawing for CAD, a raster for GIS, a table for the quantity surveyor, or a report for the client — each has its own route out.

  2. 2

    Export drawings to DXF

    Vectors, cross-sections, contours and design geometry go to DXF with their layer structure intact.

  3. 3

    Export rasters to GeoTIFF

    Analysis results, cut/fill maps and cropped extents export as georeferenced GeoTIFF.

  4. 4

    Export tables to CSV or Excel

    Station-by-station quantities, hole tables and coordinate lists come out as CSV or Excel.

  5. 5

    Produce the report

    Build the map sheet and the print-ready PDF report, or a KMZ when the result has to be viewable outside the office.

Frequently asked questions

What formats can STREAM export?

DXF for CAD vectors and drawings, LandXML 1.2 for triangulated surfaces and survey points, GeoTIFF for georeferenced rasters, CSV for tables, KMZ for Google Earth, and PDF for stockpile and change-detection reports.

Is georeferencing kept on export?

Yes. Exported rasters and vectors keep their coordinate system so they land correctly in the receiving tool. LandXML additionally writes the coordinate system into the file itself.

Can I export cross-section drawings?

Yes. Cross-section drawings export to DXF, alongside the cubature (volume) table.

Why export LandXML instead of DXF?

Because DXF carries a drawing, not a surface. A DXF exported from a triangulated model is a set of lines and faces with no topology and no declared coordinate system, so the receiving software has to rebuild the surface and be told where it sits. LandXML writes the triangulation as a Surface and the coordinate system as part of the file, which is why survey and civil packages can open it as a surface directly.

Can STREAM open or import a LandXML file?

No. LandXML support in STREAM is export only — a surface or vector model built in STREAM can be written out as LandXML, but an existing LandXML file cannot be read back in. For incoming data STREAM reads GeoTIFF, LAS/LAZ, DXF and CSV.
