Anyone have experience with LandXML files? They are truly an "IFC for road work". I am advising the state company that deals with the construction of routes (Vialidada Nacional) and I want to propose that the format that they request in the tenders be the LandXML, but to be sure that it is a solid alternative. Are there LandXLM file viewers? (in the style of Bimcollab for IFC). But the only alternative I see is to request files from Autodesk Civil3D and I want to avoid requiring proprietary files.
I reckon IFC for infrastructure is still a work in progress and will be for a little while before it trickles down the food chain.
Apparently there was a Blender LandXML importer but I cannot find the add-on but I found a flashy video of it on YouTube: - this makes me assume that we can most likely import this with relative ease into Blender. You can also propose that Blender be used as a viewer to Vialidada Nacional. I reckon building an importer wouldn't take more than a week to give immediate returns (the devil is probably in the details, but most likely LandXML is not like the beast that IFC is).
