We need to put an end to survey by old wives tale and push for better practice.I don't think any surveyor is opposed to that, but when the authority d...

Well, if someone isn't doing enough research then that's a standard of care issue. It's amusing how some of the entities responsible for knowing this ...

Why is it acceptable to simply list the assertion of a person with no authority as our professional opinion of a right of way location?I'm not sure wh...

I did forget you mentioned that. Have you reviewed the grantor grantee indexes at the County? If there are state plans there were almost certainly dee...

...or asserted by a receptionist at the local highway department.Well, that's not a surveyor problem, imo. If I call the agency that is supposed to k...

I guess I should have said that there’s no mathematical way to offset a spiral, to my knowledge anyway,Civill3D and other programs that I’ve used can ...

@Norman_Oklahoma Nice, they totally ignore the elements of the spiral and just do the long chord. I would love to do that but I was concerned about c...

If there is a description with a spiral in the current deed it almost certainly came from a take deed or plans.This was already explained in my first ...

Since a spiral can’t be offset I’m curious how others would define the R/W, on US Surveys BLM would define with equally divided short chords. I’d cons...

I normally hold the tangents, the radius (or degree of curve) of the full curve and the length of spiral.I'm using Carlson + autocad so maybe you woul...

then calculate a spiral that’ll fit the found monuments and show bothThat's basically what I was planning to do, show record data and measured spiral ...

How does a spiral curve have a radius with it being a parabola? The length and delta make sense, but my measured values won't match those exactly sinc...

Right, but I guess my question is what element of a spiral curve is typically held? I found a handy resource that I'm reading through at the moment an...

Your comment tells me you did not read both cases. (And so does your prior admission, but I thought maybe you did read them between now and then.)But ...

They were sophisticated business/land people, as evidenced by their history of real estate transactions. To suggest otherwise doesn’t align with the...

Oof, that's a tough lesson there. I haven't read the attached documents yet but based on the synopsis I'm a little bit surprised the deed he has doesn...

Exempt from what?

I've only used TBC and it was pretty simple from what I remember; select the points and then export a .csv, etc.
