Quick guide for line stakeout in Drape mode
To stakeout in Drape mode the given lines hidden or partially hidden in the wall: Line (Design 1 - Design 2) has its start point (Design 1) and end point (Design 2), both inaccessible and hidden in the wall. Line (Design 3 - Design 4) has its start point (Design 3) hidden in the wall and its end point (Design 4) is accessible and located on an adjacent wall (see the scheme below).
The result of this line stakeout in Drape mode will be the intersections of each line with the drape plane. These intersection points are accessible and ready to marking out: Point D1_D2_stk for Line (Design 1 - Design 2) and Point D3_D4_stk for Line (Design 3 - Design 4). For better viewing, accessible (visible) segment of staked line is plotted solid, inaccessible segments are dashed, extrapolated segment is dotted.
- Configure survey with Robotic Total Station. Click
-
-
.
- Connect to the configured total station. Click
-
.
- Setup Occupation point and Backsight. Click
-
-
.
- Open the Stake Line dialog. Click
-
-
.
- Click
, select Setup - Drape mode from the dialog menu to enable Drape mode: (Drape) is added to the dialog's title, target type is forced to
non-prism.
- Specify the desired line by entering its start and end points (in our example Line Design 1 - Design 2, with start point Design 1 and end point Design 2).
- In Start Point field, select the design point (Design 1) from the map
or from the list
. This point will be the start point of the staked line.
- In End Point field, select the design point (Design 2) from the map
or from the list
. This point will be the end point of the staked line.
-
In Ht Comp field, the Interpolate Ht is always used in Drape mode, meaning the height of the drape point is computed through linear interpolation, using the height of the start and end points of the line.
-
Select Start 3D to stakeout the line in horizontal and vertical planes and enter 0 value to keep the start point of the staked line as a start station in our example.
-
Click Next.
- In the open Drape Option dialog, select Find drape plane - in our example we instruct the robotic total station to scan the location for a new accessible drape plane for the staked line.
-
Then select an appropriate plane (Wall in our example) for the chosen line:
next to Wall confirms the selection.
- Click Stake.
- The dialog may open with a prompt to turn the instrument to the Wall hiding the inaccessible point(s) of the staked line. Turn the total station as the application requests and click Yes.
- The robotic total station starts scanning for a drape plane according to the settings made and after the plane is scanned the instrument's laser pointer specifies the drape (intersection) point on that plane for the line Design 1 - Design 2.
- The Stake dialog opens and its Map View shows a location along with start Design 1 and end Design 2 points of the line as well as the calculated drape point
on the scanned plane.
- Design Button at the bottom of the Stake dialog displays the calculated drape point station along the extrapolated design line
and opens a pop-up list detailing the line Design 1 - Design 2 information with an option to scan for a new drape plane.
- Click
/
(Precise / Quick EDM mode) to measure the found drape point and open the Store Point dialog to review the staked drape point attributes and store this point in the current job.
- In the open Store Point dialog you also have an option to store the scanned drape plane in the current job for further use. Open the Drape tab of this dialog, check the box Save drape plane, enter the plane name and layer and click
to save the drape point and the drape plane and return to Map View of the Stake dialog.
- Staked drape point D1_D2_stk and scanned drape plane now appear as objects in the current job's map. Ensure Staked points and Planes are selected in the Map Properties (click
on the map).
For Design 3 - Design 4 line with inaccessible start point (Design 3), repeat the same routine and obtain the drape point D3_D4_stk as the result of stakeout.
