Design to Device
Design to Device functionality allows you to select features like alignments, stringlines, and surfaces in a Quadri model and send them directly to selected devices that are running Trimble Earthworks and Siteworks in the field. This tool will typically be used by contractors in the field who have access to a Quadri model, selecting the data they want to feed to their machines on site. This workflow goes beyond WorksManager by linking to help topics in the field systems for performing tasks and then pushing as-staked or as-build results back to Quadri.
Prerequisites
The selected features in the Quadri model will be exported to an XML file and further dispatched as a design to the devices defined in Trimble WorksManager. To support the entire workflow, there are several prerequisites that must be met; otherwise, the tool will be unavailable.
The selected features in the Quadri model are exported to an XML file and sent as a design to the devices defined in Trimble WorksManager. To support the entire workflow, several prerequisites must be met, otherwise the tool will be unavailable.
Your Quadri model must be part of a Connected Project in Trimble Connect. This involves enabling the Civil Design and Construction Collaboration extension in Connect.
The Connected Project must have the Jobsite Management extension enabled; learn more.

To use a design on devices in the field, use WorksManager.
One or more field-ready designs (constructible models with all required features and surfaces) in Quadri

Send data from Quadri to devices in the field
Go to the Output and start the tool.
2. Select a suitable name for the task.
3. Select Tasks and Features in the model, using the Dynamic Query.
4. If necessary, define the extent of the features under Location (from to stationing/chainage):
5. Adjust the settings - Check the Combined Surfaces box in order to combine all selected surfaces into one. Give the surface a suitable name.
6. Preview the design to check that the surface is created correctly - can be done in both 2D and 3D.
7. Click Finish - an xml-file will be created and sent, in order to dispatch a Design in WorksManager.
A Wizard will open:
8. Select the surface - Select Alignment - The design is created - Select Device - and Finish to dispatch the design. The features selected are sent directly to the selected devices and also to Works Manager. If the same file is sent a second time the version number will be updated to the latest version.
9. Find the Design in WorksManager.
