Stake Surface of a Surface
To stake the surface of an existing surface.
- Set Surface by clicking the selection button.
- Enter an existing surface name manually, or select from the map
or from the list
of job surfaces. The preview of selected surface is displayed.
- Check the Auto stake box to automatically stake points of a surface when meeting conditions for auto-storing positions. This feature is available for GNSS or Robotic configurations. Auto-storing parameters are set in the Auto Topo Survey dialog during GNSS survey configuration or the Auto Topo dialog during Robotic survey configuration.
- If the reference centerline has been enabled, check the Extend perpendicular to reference CL box to use this feature in surface stakeout in situation when the design surface should be extended. See details on How to extend a surface in stakeout.
- If the reference alignment has been enabled, check the Extend perpendicular to reference alignment box to use this feature in situation when the design surface should be extended. See details on How to extend a surface in stakeout.
- For GNSS configuration - enter the antenna height. Click the button to select a method used to measure the antenna height (
Vertical or
Slant). Type the antenna height value manually or click the button to select one of the previously used values from the context menu.
Note: If the Unknown antenna model is selected during configuration, only the Vertical antenna height measurement method is available.
Note: In the mmGPS+ survey and stakeout routines, the antenna height value should be entered as the vertical height from the ground point to the rover's ARP. More...
- For TS configuration - Enter the height of the target. Type the value manually or click the button with current target icon to select one of the previously used values from the context menu. Select Edit from the context menu to open the Targets dialog to add or modify target configurations. Depending on the selected target type, the target icon looks like:
-
when a normal prism is selected, prism constant also displays below;
-
when a 360 prism is selected, prism constant also displays below;
-
when a sheet is selected, target offset also displays below;
-
when a non-prism is selected, target offset also displays below;
-
when a long non-prism is selected, target offset also displays below.
- If required, check the Create Surface box to create a surface from 3 or more staked points. The prompt for the new surface name will open before stakeout, after clicking the Next button. From the drop-down list below, select a surface model to use in the stakeout:
- If the Elevation model is selected for the new surface, the "Min Elevation"/ "Max Elevation" values are calculated from real staked measurements.
- If the Cut / Fill model is selected for the new surface, the "Min Elevation"/ "Max Elevation" values are calculated as the difference between the design surface and the staked surface.
- The Stake Report field shows the name of the current stake report if it is set. Click
to open the Stake Reports List dialog to select the desired report or add a new one.
- Click Stake to start the stakeout process. More...
