This process is different to lines, where the stake/check is always relative to
the centreline defined for the layer. Local lines no longer have a relationship to
an overall centreline. Local lines are used to check roundabouts, parking bays,
subdivision works and any other type of lines. The different lines to stake/
check can be stored within one layer, which does not require a defined centre-
line. This ability is different to the stake/check of any other type which always
require a centreline.
A 2D or 3D design of the line to stake/check is required.

Indefinite Triangle

In almost all situations, a measured position is shown relative to the local line
by the line chainage and a square offset to the line. However, situations can
arise where a road design has extreme changes in the deflection angle of tan-
gent points. In these cases, it is not always possible to show a measured posi-
tion by the nominal chainage and offset. An indefinite triangle is a region in
which these situations arise. Points measured within an indefinite triangle are
shown relative to the tangent point.
