1. Measurement/Stakeout of transi-
tion points of slopes for cross-
sections.
S - Startpoint of slope
- Transition point to be measured/
staked
The Line is defined as the section
line through the terrain. You ensure
that you follow this line by observing
the Left/Right value and keeping it at
or near zero. When you arrive at a
point where the level of the terrain
begins to change, record the point.
You can also stake this point for
future reference.

2. Staking out of slope intercepts.
(points where design slopes and
terrain intersect).
S - Startpoint of Slope Line
E - Endpoint of Slope Line
P - Current Position
I/O - Horizontal Distance In/Out to
Start Point
C/F - Vertical Distance Cut/Fill to
Slope Line
- Slope Intercept
