Stakeout sideslopes automatic | Leica X-PAD Help Center

build

Sideslopes automatic allows to stakeout sideslopes that start from a closed polyline and that represent, for example, the bottom of an excavation.
The function is used to:
- Finding the catch point with the existing ground.
- Checking side slopes created by the excavator.

The page allows to enter the sideslope parameters and have a graphical preview of the result.
Press Select object to select the polyline from CAD, that represents the bottom of the excavation.
Define:
- Offset: horizontal distance from the selected polyline to the side slope.
- Slope: slope between the polyline and the current position.
- Ref. elevation: sets the reference elevation to use for the elevation check.
  - None: the reference elevation is not used. The software uses the elevation as defined in CAD.
  - Foundation elevation: allows to enter the elevation of the foundation.
  - Reference elevation and excavation height: allows to enter the reference elevation of the terrain and the height of the excavation. The foundation elevation is automatically calculated.
Press Next.
For each segment is possible to customize the offset and the slope. Tap on a segment to define its slope and offset.

Press Next.
The position along the side slope is calculated and displayed.
First value refers to the current elevation below or above the reference elevation defined by the slope. Second value refers to the horizontal distance from the position to side slope. Third value shows the current value of the slope and the direction to take, on the perpendicular to the reference element, to achieve the project slope value.
Tap on to change to cross section view.
This view shows in a cross section view the current position and the current slope (blue line) together with the design slope (red line).
Press Measure to measure the position.
