Staking out a 12da road
Do not change the coordinate system or calibration after you have staked out points, or computed offset or intersection points. If you do, the previously staked out or computed points will be inconsistent with the new coordinate system and any points computed or staked out after the change.
-
In the map, tap the road and then tap Stakeout.
If the road you want to stake out is not shown in the map, tap
in the map toolbar to open the Layer manager and select the Map files tab. Select the file and then make the appropriate layer(s) visible and selectable. The file must be in the current project folder. -
If you have not yet started a survey, the software prompts you through the steps to start the survey.
- Enter a value in the Antenna height or Target height field and make sure that the Measured to field is set correctly.
-
Enter the Station interval or accept the default value set when the road was defined.
A Station interval value is required when staking out a station on a string. This value is optional for other survey methods.
- Tap Options to:
- Configure preferences for Grade, As-staked point details, Display and Available stations.
- Enable staking out relative to a digital terrain model (DTM).
-
Tap Next.
The road is ready to stake, using your preferred stakeout method. For more information, refer to the topic for the selected method. See:
