Stakeout Settings
The Stakeout Settings card contains the setting that control how
stakeout is performed. (The settings available depend on if you are
running in conventional or GPS mode.)
; Stake “Corners,” Not Just Even Intervals : When
staking by stations, locations where a line segment
changes, such as from a straight section to a curve, will
also be staked when this is checked.
; Stake Bisector of Non-tangent Corners : When
staking an offset to a centerline that contains a corner,
this option, when checked, will stake the corner point
where the two offsets intersect.
; Always Start Stakeout With Coarse Mode : When
checked, the EDM mode toggle button found in all
stakeout screens will initially be set to coarse mode (fast
shot). This instructs the total station to measure
distances faster, but with slightly less accuracy.
; Use Manual Updating (Remote Control) : When this
is checked, a Shot button in the stakeout screens must be pressed to
take a shot. When this not checked, shots are continuously taken in
the stakeout screens. (This is only valid when running in remote
mode, using a robotic total station.)
; Design Elevation from Offset Segment : Determines where the
cut/fill value is computed from in the Offset and Road Stakeout
screens when the Offset checkbox is checked and a non-zero offset is
entered. When checked, the cut/fill value is calculated from the design
elevation of the node you are staking to. When unchecked, the cut/fill
value is calculated from the design elevation at the specified offset
location.
Note: If the specified offset extends beyond the end of the road
profile, the cut/fill value is always computed from the design
elevation of the node you are staking to.
