**InfoDrainage** can import surface data from LandXML files. 

LandXML is a non-proprietary data standard on the Extensible Markup Language (XML) format. LandXML files contain civil/survey data elements such as points, profiles, surfaces, and many others. <span style="color: #000000">The format is often used to interchange design information with 3D design and engineering software packages, and for archiving data. </span>
