Stake Dialog Views
To choose a convenient view of the Stake dialog for specific stakeout from the list of available dialog views.
Each of the stakeout modes has a set of available dialog views assisting in different aspects. To switch between views, use the drop-down list in the dialog's title bar.
- Data view - this view is available in all stakeout modes and provides a complete list of stakeout parameters and their values available in the current staking mode. There is no visual assistance. Status and control of the connected equipment as well as saving staked points are available.
- Normal view - this view is available whenever you are staking known design coordinates and provides a directional way of locating the design locations:
- If the distance to the design is more than 3 m, the compass arrow will point to the target direction with the current location in the center of the dialog.
- If the distance to the target is less than 3 m, the plot zooms in to showing the target point in the center and the current location nearby: directions to the target and distances are also displayed.
- As soon as the target becomes closer than the Horizontal Distance Tolerance value, the plot shows a bull's-eye target point. This means the point is ready to be staked and stored in the job.
- Map view - this view is available in all stakeout modes and provides a visual way of navigating to the design locations over the job's 2D map (3D map for the 3D model stake task):
- If the distance to the design is more than 3 m, the compass arrow will point to the target direction. Compass should be enabled in the General tab of the Map Properties dialog.
- If the distance to the target is less than 3 m, the compass shows two directional arrows (from N, W, S, E directions) with respective horizontal distances to the target.
- As soon as the target becomes closer than the Horizontal Distance Tolerance value, the plot shows a bull's-eye target point or a high precision compass with current offsets of actually measured location from the design location if the High Precision compass mode is enabled in the General tab of the Map Properties dialog. This means the point is ready to be staked and stored in the job.
- The Map View Tools toolbar is available in the right part of the dialog for navigating the map in many ways and customizing map objects output. Use the Customize Toolbar button in the General tab of the Map Properties dialog (
) to select preferred command buttons for the Map View Tools during GNSS stakeouts or Optical stakeouts.
- Cut / Fill bar is available in the left part of the dialog to visually display the elevation delta between design location and current location. Cut / Fill bar should be enabled in the General tab of the Map Properties dialog.
- Overhead view - this view is available whenever you are staking known design coordinates and provides a visual directional way of navigating to the design locations:
- The view automatically focuses on the current stakeout task isolating it from the other map objects.
- The view automatically zooms to current and design locations at maximum possible map scale.
- Slope view - this view is available whenever you are staking the prolongation of the design line with specified end slope and shows the slope scheme with hinge point (HP) catch point (CP), and current position in the vertical plane:
- The limited Map View Tools toolbar with zooming buttons is available in the right part of the dialog.
- The current catch point is displayed in green, the hinge point is displayed in yellow.
- Cross Section view - this view is available in road, real time road, and slope stakeout modes and shows the cross-section scheme of the current stake location and current position in the vertical plane:
- The limited Map View Tools toolbar with zooming buttons is available in the right part of the dialog.
- The current segment / hinge point of the cross-section is displayed in yellow, the segment point code is also displayed.
- The current design point is displayed in green.
