Slope Staking The Road - Tripod Data Systems SURVEY PRO User Manual

Slope Staking the Road

The road slope staking procedure is nearly identical to the non-road
layout slope staking routine described on Page 131. 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.
Like with the road stakeout example above, this example describes
how to set up road slope staking and then refers you to the non-road
layout example where the screens are identical.

2. Tap the Tap Road... button to open the Tap on a Road screen. All
