At 3D Sea LLC, we specialize in producing precise linework and 3D model files formatted specifically for GPS survey and machine‑control systems. Whether your crews rely on Topcon, Trimble, or Carlson SurvPC, our deliverables integrate seamlessly— minimizing field errors, reducing setup time, and keeping your project on schedule.

Our Services

Linework Cleanup & Standardization

  • Error/Duplicate Removal: We eliminate duplicate, broken, or overlapping entities before export. We downsize all linework to what you need only, and remove all excess clutter for efficient field use.
  • Simplified Layers: All linework is organized into different layers that are assigned simple and easy colors and names.

3D Model Generation

  • Digital Terrain Models (DTM): High‑resolution surface meshes built from elevated polylines.
  • Earthwork Quantities: Simple Cut-Fill volumes using proposed and existing surface models.
  • Roadways: We will incorporate road profiles and cross sections to assure accurate proposed grading.
  • Parking Lots: We will assure ADA requirements and a minimum positive pitch (1%+) are met.
  • Building Foundation/Footings: Excavator machine control and our building footing 3D model, is the only way to prepare footings.   

Equipment Support & File Formats

Topcon

  • Compatible Formats: .TN3, .GC3, .PT3, .LN3, and .TP3

Trimble

  • Compatible Formats: We will generate any/all Trimble files to meet your data collector and heavy equipment needs.

Carlson SurvPC (Data Collector)

  • Compatible Formats: .CRD, .DXF, .TIN, .CL (Road Stakeout), and .PRO (Road Stakeout)

Our Workflow

  1. Project Intake
    You supply source CAD files (DWG), plan sets (PDF) and any/all existing survey control data available (CRD, TXT, DWG).
  2. Formatting
    We clean up and downsize all linework, build the 3D models, and perform multiple checks to confirm accuracy.
  3. Equipment‑Specific Export
    Files are exported in the exact formats your GPS survey equipment and machine control require.
  4. Ongoing Support
    Need tweaks or updated files due to plan revisions? Our technicians are on call to ensure your field operations run smoothly.
