Converting DXF to TP3

Hello,

I am working with a client who uses Topcon for all of his Earth-Moving work. He will need all topographical surveys and plans in Topcon format (.TP3). The go-to software for this conversion from DXF or DWG to TP3 is Topcon 3D-Office. Topcon's MAGNET Office can also be used, and is the later software for performing file conversions.

When I attempt to import a DXF from Kubla Cubed into MAGNET Office, (R13 or R14 type DXF formats work the best) The contour lines all transfer over, but only the first polygon surface section will transfer. I have not found a way to get the entire polygon surface to transfer. Perhaps this is still a file format issue.

Also, if I try to import into Topcon 3D-Office, the contour lines will transfer in. When I try to add the TIN from the DXF, and error window appears saying "DWG file has no 3D face entities!"

I must assume that the polygon surface generated by Kubla Cubed, is perhaps a different type of surface than what Topcon is searching for. This surface appears just fine in Civil 3D. Topcon seems to be the limiting factor.

I am working with Topcon to try and resolve this issue, but if there is a known workaround in the Kubla Cubed community, that would be a great help.
