I will I Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 We sometimes find it necessary to locate site improvements in layout plans via their survey coordinates. Is there a way or tool in VW that allows for 'keynoting' these positions while sequentially numbering and listing their xy locations in a worksheet? The only reasonable solution I have found is to place loci at these points and have their coordinates listed in a worksheet but this still requires them to be manually numbered and noted.

Bryan G. Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I think I get what you are asking. and yes it can be done. what is your method of survey? Quote Link to comment
I will I Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 The survey data comes from the surveyors or civil contractor that is a dwg import using their world coordinates Quote Link to comment
Bryan G. Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 try using the stake tool, or if you were supplying in house survey they can list at time of data collection. Quote Link to comment
I will I Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Still a little confused with this. The need is to provide these coordinate points for design elements we are adding to the site. I am unable to find a stake tool only the ability to convert 3d loci to stake objects, however, I am lost at how to create 3d loci as I only see the option to create 2d ones and no modifier to convert them to 3d.

I will I Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Never mind figured it out, 2d poly to 3d poly to 3d loci to stake object. This exactly what we needed, can have the tag list the NE coordinates, perfect Thanks for your help with this! Quote Link to comment
Bryan G. Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The Stake tool is also located within the Site Planning tool set. Quote Link to comment
Bryan G. Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 it would also help if you added your computer and version info in your profile. Quote Link to comment
