Offsets in Topo Survey (Optical)

Offsets in topographic survey (optical) provide extended possibilities for determining the coordinates of points that are not available for direct measurement, hidden, or even physically non-existent. This is realized through measurements to accessible locations, special surveying techniques and background calculations. MAGNET Field offers multiple offset modes that combine advanced interface tools for easy and fast collection of ancillary data and calculation routines for offset measurements.

To enable the desired offset mode, click in the top left corner of the Topo Survey (Optical) dialog and click Measure to expand the menu with available offsets:

Note: Offset modes are available only for the Direct measurement method. Prior to enable one of the offset modes, ensure this method is currently used. If necessary, select it in the Survey Setting dialog (by clicking in the title bar of any optical topo survey dialog).
