digitalcarbon Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 could someone recommend a total station that will work w/ VW? at present i am getting all my field data by tape & triangulation and this is very time consuming. i do not know how to use a total station but was under the impression that i can record loci in 3d space. then that info can be imported into the DTM in VW. I'm not doing any legal work so it does not have to be a high end system. also, i am assuming that i can read the instructions and figure out how to use it. thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment
go2greece Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 most totalstation can transfer the selected points and data via DXF. so you can import the 3d points in any VW drawing. this is our daily bread and butter. we work with a pentax totalstation and a promark 3 gps. never ever had any import problem. peter Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 The key is with the Data Collector and the installed data export functions. Quote Link to comment
