Stakeout of lines/arcs/objects

• This procedure allows you to accurately stake out positions along geometric elements such as lines, arcs, and other drawing objects.

• Instead of staking out a single point, the software guides the operator to positions that are defined by the geometry of the selected element, making it particularly useful for linear and curved features in construction and surveying applications.

• From Stakeout page select Lines/Arcs/Objects.

  

• The object to be staked out can be defined using different selection methods.

  • Line (2 Points): creates a line defined by two reference topographic points.

  • Arc (3 Points): creates an arc defined by three reference topographic points.

  • Arc (2 Points + Radius): creates an arc defined by two reference topographic points and a specified radius.

  • Drawing Object: allows you to select an existing drawing element directly from the graphic view, such as a line, polyline, arc, or circle.

Select the object to stakeout

Stakeout of line by 2 points

• Select Line(2 points).

  

  • Point 1: first point of the reference line.

  • Point 2: second point of the reference line.

• Press to invert the line direction.

• Press to visualize element information.

Stakeout of arc by 3 points

• Select Arc (3 points).

  

  • Point 1: first point defining the reference arc.

  • Point 2: second point defining the reference arc.

  • Point 3: third point defining the reference arc.

• Press to invert the arc direction.

• Press to visualize element information.

Stakeout of arc by 2 points and radius

• Select Arc (2 points + radius).

  

  • Point 1: starting point of the reference arc.

  • Point 2: ending point of the reference arc.

  • Radius: radius of the reference arc.

  • Clockwise Arc: specifies the direction of the arc. Enable this option to create the arc in the clockwise direction; otherwise, the arc is created in the opposite direction.

• Press to invert the arc direction.

• Press to visualize element information.

Drawing object

• Select Drawing object.

  

• Select from graphic window the element to stakeout.

• Press to invert the arc direction.

• Press to visualize element information.

Stakeout procedure

• After having defined the element to stake it appears the main stakeout window.

  

• In the lower part is reported the station distance and the current distance referring to the element to stake.

  • Station: the distance measured along the object.

  • Offset: the offset distance measured from the object.

• For the general stakeout procedure refer to Step-by-step stakeout.
