I am trying to figure a way out to do something that I think should be able to be done.
We need to capture 3 different points at the same location, but with different codes. We have tried post processing and the way they are being imported into our program it does not allow for all the data.
Our crews are using Trimble TSC3 with?ÿGeneral Survey.
What I am envisioning is that a location(coordinates) can be locked in and 3?ÿunique points get stored, without having to toggle between screens.
Thanks in advance
Can I ask why??ÿ If it is a linework deal then there are alternative solutions.
Shoot it 3 times...
No, it's not for linework. Client wants unique codes at same locations, all populated with attributes.?ÿ Post-processing and getting it into the format for the client is not being efficient. Our data tech thinks he has seen it done before, but does not know for sure.
There was a past discussion about same location with different attributes like a manhole with different flowlines for each of the in and out of the many connections.
I do not remember a solution being mentioned.
I know with our data collector, if I edit a point but don't change it, then add a point, it will default to the coordinates of the point I just looked?ÿ at.?ÿ Then all you have to do is change the description.?ÿ Kind of awkward but it would work.?ÿ This is Survey Pro.
Yes, use attributes if you are locating this point. The other thread was about staking a single point with multiple elevations for manhole. Using 3d linework should work.
I believe you might be overthinking it. Try one set of coordinates with multiple attributes. For instance Code PIPI = pipe invert. But additional attributes could be added to that code through domain tables. Alsoo, some software packages allow for multiple codes for the same point. For this example attributes might include pipe type, invert in or out, size, condition, etc.?ÿ
Attribute tables can easily be split in GIS software and maybe even TBC.?ÿ Take one shot in the field and have a long list of attributes that are arranged for easy separation when you get the data back to the office.
What you're asking is ridiculously easy to do in Trimble Access if that's what you're using.
