Staking out a 12da road

1. In the map, tap the road and then tap Stakeout. Alternatively, tap and select Stakeout, tap Stakeout roads and select the road to edit and then tap Next.

   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.

2. If you have not yet started a survey, the software prompts you through the steps to start the survey.

3. Enter a value in the Antenna height or Target height field and make sure that the Measured to field is set correctly.

4. Enter the Station interval for lines and Station interval for arcs and transitions or accept the default value set when the road was defined.

   Station interval values are required when staking out a station on a string. These values are optional for other survey methods.

5. Tap Options to:
   • Configure preferences for Grade, As-staked point details, and Display.
   • Enable staking out relative to a digital terrain model (DTM).

6. 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:
