Stakeout

.

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.
