Drape Options
To specify the plane for point or line stakeout in Drape mode. This plane can be scanned with the robotic total station or selected manually from the list of current job's planes.
- For Point stakeout:
- Choose Find one plane for all points to force the total station to scan and define a single plane for staking all points in Drape mode.
- In the Drape field, choose the mostly suitable type of plane for your current stakeout in Drape mode:This choice affects the algorithm a robotic total station uses to scan and define the plane and the time spent for scanning.
- Choose Find a new plane for each point to force the total station to scan and define a new plane for every point staked in Drape mode.
- In the Drape field, choose the mostly suitable type of plane for your current stakeout in Drape mode:This choice affects the algorithm a robotic total station uses to scan and define the plane and the time spent for scanning.
- Choose Use existing plane for all points to select a plane in the current job. Enter a plane name manually, or select from the map
, from the list
of the job planes, or click
to open the Add Plane dialog and create a new plane. Total station is forced to use this plane as the drape plane.
- For Line stakeout:
- Choose Find drape plane to force the total station to scan and define a plane for staking a line in Drape mode.
- In the Drape field, choose the mostly suitable type of plane for your current stakeout in Drape mode:This choice affects the algorithm a robotic total station uses to scan and define the plane and the time spent for scanning.
- Choose Use existing plane to select a plane in the current job. Enter a plane name manually, or select from the map
, from the list
of the job planes, or click
to open the Add Plane dialog and create a new plane. Total station is forced to use this plane as the drape plane.
Note: You can change the drape plane any time during stakeout:
1) click Design Button and select Find New Drape Plane
to scan for a new plane for the current design point;
2) click
and select either Drape - Find New Plane to scan for a new drape plane or Drape - Select Existing Plane to choose this plane manually from the list of job's planes in the Planes dialog that opens.
Once the drape plane options are specified click the Stake button.
- Depending on the options choice, the dialog may open with a prompt to turn the instrument to the Wall / Ceiling / Floor near the drape point.
- Turn the total station correctly and click Yes to open the Stake dialog and start stakeout in Drape mode. The total station will scan the drape plane according to the settings. After that it is ready to perform measurements.
- Alternatively, click No to return to this dialog and review the drape plane setup.
