Reference line

| |

• The Reference line function calculates the distance and other information between the current position and a reference element. The reference element can be a line, an arc or a drawing element.

• Click COGO.

• Click Reference line.

  

• Select the reference to stakeout.

  

  • Reference to stakeout.

    • Line (2 points): line defined by two topographic points. Requires to select Point 1 and Point 2.

    • Arc (3 points): arc defined by three topographic points. Requires to select Point 1, Point 2 and Point 3.

    • Arc (2 points+R): arc defined by two topographic points and by the radius. Requires to select Point 1, Point 2 and arc radius.

    • Drawing object: select a line, polyline, arc or circle in the graphic window. This option allows for example to stakeout a drawing element imported.

• Click Invert to invert the reference direction.

• Click Info to have information on the reference object.

  

• Click Select to pick the points directly from CAD or click Measure to measure the reference points.

• After the reference object has been selected click Next to define the parameters.

  

  • Offset: distance to observe referring to reference element. Select if offset is left or right.

  • Height diff.: vertical offset. Start from a reference object and apply a 3D offset. Select if offset is up or down.

  • Rotation angle: applies a rotation angle to the reference line.

• Click Next to stakeout the object.

  

  • On the left bar the software shows the differences from current position to the reference element.

  • Click to display information from beginning or end of the reference element.

    • : distance from the beginning of the reference element.

    • : distance from end of the reference element.

  • Click to select how different elevation is visualized.

    • : the elevation is on the reference elevation.

    • : the reference elevation is the elevation at the beginning of the reference element.

    • : the reference elevation is the elevation at the end of the reference element.

  • Tap Measure to start measuring the stakeout point. The acquisition of positions for the number of epochs set in survey parameters starts. The epochs are acquired if the conditions defined for accuracy check are met. Otherwise the software keeps waiting for a manual stop or until the conditions are met.

  • When the number of defined epochs is reached, confirm the Stakeout results are displayed. See https://hexagon.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GHPXU/pages/45611286713 and https://hexagon.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GHPXU/pages/edit-v2/45615743246?draftShareId=165d3b0e-fb1b-4e9b-b9b4-9b2893365015.

  • Click Accept to store the point.
