One can cut down on the sycophancy if you pay for an account and tailor it to your style.   1.) Main, default profile. Presume that I am a ci...

I have used pole mounts similar to this for just straight distance readings. The Bosch ones are nice in that they can take the slope into account when...

I tried using a TruPulse 360 with Survce and the compass readings to use a rover as a portable "total station." The metal rod always messed with the T...

@andrei Hi there. OFFSET is the main one for me. I use two LISPs for drawing bearings & distances that largely take care of my problem of drawi...

@lurker   I know that BC surveyors use azimuth, but that seems to be the minority in North America.

"AI" is too broad a term. I, personally, use some of the LLM's for helping "story boarding" a process, for help with initial coding of small projects,...

Our engineers use the scans for visual confirmation of the structure condition and pipe sizes. It also is useful for non-sewer manholes (ie. electrica...

I used to use BaseCamp for Garmins about 10 years ago. No idea if it still works:

Unit conversion. It would be nice to be able enter in whatever unit you wanted no matter the template. Ie. if I use the metric template, it would stil...

Have you ever considered using phind? I find it to be a useful search engine alternative as it links its answers to its sources. If the answer is tota...

The app works pretty good. A few comments on it: 1. We use it as a crew site picture supplement/replacement. While we do not pull precise measuremen...

I will also attempt to keep this apolitical. Many of us look to NGS for leadership, knowledge, and wisdom in many geodetic matters. Many of us were/ar...

We do not provide animations; however, we will often upload smaller sites/structures as an FBX to the Autodesk Viewer as it is free for 1 month and th...

Side note--you can get much better than "+/- a few feet" using GNSS with offsets. Using SurvCE we do either of the following: P.306 shows a coupl...

RIP. He was always extremely helpful and polite. I still use his software to this day.

Distance and offset when using a GNSS or total station. Site plans and tree inventory plans in many places in SW Ontario require coniferous/deciduous ...

The Civil3d Traverse Editor is pretty decent for calcs. Off the top of my head, I think you can set it to place cogo points only (ie. I believe the o...

Agreed. That's just the time for a scan with an iPhone. Please note we only scan for documentation purposes and they are not used as the primary measu...

Example of one we scanned with an iPhone 14 Pro using 3dscan. Please note: -FBX as this was meant as a check on the disto dips and for visual confirm...

Well, we do not do ALL of those checks. We would typically do the following: -run the base on site (most of our jobs also have a vertical component) -...
