Slope Staking the Road
The road slope staking procedure is nearly identical to the non-road
layout slope staking routine described on Page 152. The main
difference is the road layout templates can contain more segments,
which modifies the options of where the hinge point should be located
depending on if a cut or a fill is required.
1. Tap Roads, Slope Staking to open the Road Slope Staking screen.
2. Tap the Tap Road… button to open the Tap on a Road screen. All
of the roads that exist in the current job will be displayed.
3. Tap on the road that you want to stake and then tap . When the
road is selected, it will be drawn with a bold line.
4. If the backsight is not yet defined, tap the Backsight… button to
set up your backsight.
5. With the road selected, tap Next > to continue.
6. In the Station field, enter the station that you want to slope stake
and in the Station Interval field, enter the distance that you want
the Station to advance when you are ready to slope stake the next
station.
7. The H. Map and V. Map tabs are used to view information about
the horizontal and vertical details of the road at the current
station. Tap the Slopes tab to set up your slopes.
8. The Cut Slopes and Fill Slopes are automatically set
to the values contained in the template being slope
staked. You can override these values by checking
the appropriate boxes and changing the values
accordingly. When doing this, the new cut/fill slopes
entered will always be used regardless of the values
stored in the templates.
Fill slopes do not need to be entered as negative
values since Survey Pro knows that these are
negative slopes.
