Stakeout surface

+ SURFACE&VOLUME | + SURFACE&VOLUME | + SURFACE&VOLUME

• The function allows to determine in the field the design elevation of a three-dimensional surfaces loaded in current job.

• For every position, the elevation of the current position is compared with the elevation interpolated on the surface and the difference of elevation is calculated.

• The surfaces stakeout can be used for:

  • Stakeout of a planned surface in the field.

  • Quality check to test the correspondence between the built and the plan.

For more information on how to import or create a surface please refer to Surfaces and Volumes.

The command is also available from the Surfaces list.

• Click Stakeout.

• Click Surface.

  

• Select from the list of available surfaces in the job the surface to stakeout.

Stakeout the surface

• The software shows the surface stakeout page.

  

• The side panel visualizes in real-time the difference of elevation between the current position and the elevation interpolated on the surface. The field above the cut/fill value shows the surface elevation at current position.

• In the input field, manage the point name.

• Click Measure to measure the current position with stakeout information.

Stakeout surface view mode

• It is possible to change the surface stakeout view mode clicking on icon.

  

• CAD: shows the standard CAD view.

• Elevation: shows in a readable way the cut/fill values and the current elevation of the surface. This view mode is recommended when the GNSS is used in machine control setup.

  

• Elevation and CAD: shows in a split screen the CAD view and the cut/fill values with current elevation of the surface.

  

Change the surface during the stakeout

• To change the surface to stakeout click the surface name on the left bar.

  

• Select the surface to stakeout from the list of available surfaces in the job.

Apply a vertical offset to the surface

• To apply a vertical offset to the surface to stakeout click on the left bar.

  

• Enter the offset value.

Stakeout two surfaces

• The software allows to stakeout in parallel two different surfaces, and have elevation differences to both the surfaces.

• To add a second surface click Add and select the second surface.

  

• The software shows the elevation differences from the current position to the two surfaces.

• For each surface the software also indicates the current surface elevation and the difference in elevation between the two surfaces.

• It is also possible to apply a vertical offset to the surfaces.
