Stakeout Points to the Survey Database?
Posted by Jason Hickey on 19th January 2008
I spent most of last week in the training room of George Butler Associates, Inc. in Lenexa, Kansas. I was there helping the survey department learn all about Civil 3D, and developing workflows to utilize the Survey Database in Civil 3D to make their jobs perhaps a bit easier. I had a great time with Terry, Andrew, and most of all, John Postlewait. As most companies tend to do, the survey department was hidden down in the basement, so I felt right at home, especially when John served us all his absolutely freakin’ incredible homemade chili. A very heartfelt thanks to John and crew for showing me some real hospitality.
Now, one of the things that we discussed that I’ve heard before is about stakeout points - those points that are calculated in the office to be uploaded to the data collector and staked out into the field. How do they fit in with the survey database? There’s no inherent functionality to get those points into the survey database - or is there? Follow the link to see how I came to figure out a way to do just that…
