Point Slope Staking
Stakeout Point Slope Staking .
The Point Slope Staking routine is a simplified version of the Slope
Staking routine described on Page R-288.
The Point Slope Staking routine determines the location of the catch
point from a known hinge point and a specified horizontal direction
from the hinge point, whereas the Slope Staking routine determines
the location of the catch point from a perpendicular offset to a known
centerline at a specified station.
The first screen is used to specify the hinge point and
horizontal direction from the hinge point to the catch
point.
From Point : is the hinge point.
Point / Direction : is either another point that lies in
the same vertical plane as the hinge point and catch
point, or the azimuth from the hinge point to the catch
point, respectively.
Fill Slope: is the desired slope, calculated from run over
rise, between the hinge point and catch point when the
area requires a fill.
Cut Slope: is the desired slope, calculated from run over
rise, between the hinge point and catch point when the
area requires a cut.
Height of Rod: is the rod height.
Backsight… : accesses the Backsight Setup screen.
Stake CP > : opens the next screen.
