Working with LDPs

Williwaw · 2025-05-22T16:05:16Z

After having left my last place of employment after 17 years of doing utility work, it's really refreshing to be learning new things and getting to do a much wider variety of survey work. For the most part I've worked in standard projections when doing my surveys, usually State Plane, and for utility work, the differences between ground and grid are not consequential when it's a hydroaxe that's following your stakes. Now I'm doing a number of different projects where there has been a well established use of several different LDP projections and I'm struggling a little in getting myself comfortable with working in them. How to set them up in C3D and Carlson, configuring them in the controller, importing LLH instead of a standard ASCII cartesian coordinates where the controller is doing all the heavy lifting. I really believe that if you aren't getting outside of your comfort zone from time to time, it leads to stagnation and I think that's where I found myself with my previous work. Don't get me wrong, I made good money and got a lot of stuff paid for, but it left me bored and I really don't like being bored and I just really want to be a better surveyor. So with that I would greatly appreciate any of your tips and tricks for setting up and using LDPs. Anything you're willing to pass along. Big shout out to Wendell for everything he does to make this site possible. Wendell, you the man! Cheers and TIA. Willy
