Station Interval: is the value that is added to the Station to Stake after the [Next Station] button is pressed.
[Next Station]: advances the Station to Stake by the Station Interval.
Note: If the Stake Corners option is selected in the Stakeout Settings screen, the [Next Station] button will also stop at
any horizontal or vertical alignment node, and the beginning and end of any widening and super elevation that falls
within the interval.
,
: These buttons are used to select the particular node, or an offset to it, from your road profile that you wish
to stake. The segment name at the selected node is also displayed. If staking the centerline with an offset, the side of
the road that the offset occurs is also displayed.
Offset: When checked, allows you to specify an offset distance to stake as opposed to staking the actual node
locations.
Note: A positive value offset is applied at the specified distance from each node away from the centerline. A negative
value offset is applied at the specified distance from each node toward the centerline.
Note: If an offset occurs past the edge of the road, no vertical or cut / fill information will be computed for that point.
Subgrade: When checked, allows you to specify a vertical offset from the actual node locations. Positive values result
in the stake location occurring below the selected node. Negative values result in the stake location occurring above
the selected node.
[Backsight…]: Opens the
Stake Road screen where the direction and distance information to the stake point is
displayed.
Stake Road - Screen 3
The third Stake Road screen displays distance, direction, and other information about the point to be staked.
Station: displays the station where the stake point occurs and the type of line segment it falls on in the alignment.
Segment: displays the name of the segment tangent to the point to be staked; if the point is on the Left or Right side of
the road; and the specified offset, if any.
Angle Right: is the horizontal angle from the backsight to the stake point.
Horz Dist: is the horizontal distance from the total station to the stake point.
Vert Dist: is the vertical distance from the total station to the stake point.
ZE to Rod: is the zenith angle from the total station to the stake point.
[Circle Zero]: is used to modify the circle on the total station so that the angle right reading will be zero when it is
facing toward the design point, which can sometimes be easier than turning to an obscure angle value. When this
