Tape Dimension
The dialog allows you to measure a distance using a tape. Tape measurements are performed between two known points that belong to one side of a structure (wall of the building, for example), that forms a reference line. The application calculates coordinates of the measured point in the current coordinate system in the horizontal plane only. The dialog contains four tabs:
Reference Line tab
The tab allows to define the reference line for the first tape measurement:
- In the Start Point field, specify the name of an existing point to start the line (can be entered manually, or selected from the map or list) or click
to measure and save the point.
- Specify the End Point of the line in the same way.
Open the Tape Dimension tab.
Tape Dimension tab
The tab allows to measure a point by the tape using the following steps:
- Enter the name of the unknown Point.
- From the drop-down menu, select the Code for the point being measured. Click
to set the point's attributes if required. More...
- Toggle between Dist Left and Dist Right values as required. These parameters allow to set the direction of the next movement, relatively to the previous direction. Enter the measurement distance in the field.
- Click Accept to apply the entered distance to calculate the point coordinates. The Edit Point dialog displays the point coordinates. After that you can continue tape measurement using the reference line "End point" - "First measured point by tape".
- Click Finish and select from the floating menu one of the following options:
From the
pop-up menu you can select:
- Raw Data click to expand the menu:
- Add Raw Note opens the Add Raw Note dialog where you can enter any description during the survey if required.
- Edit opens the Raw data dialog with raw data collected in the job.
Results
