True enough Paden. But not so funny when another surveyor, while peeing, finds an original corner 100' away from the one you just proportioned...That...

The PLSS datum defines "straight lines" as being those of constant geodesic bearing which are curved lines in terms of an orthogonal coordinate system...

I guess that is what it comes down to. The orthogonal system most if us work in only jives with the PLSS datum at a givin point. The question is at ...

I hear you. At the section level, the framework is perhaps densified enough to get away with ignoring it. I live in NW Washington where convergence ...

Surely the local building official has a required finished floor elevation for new construction. Presumably that will be 1 foot above the community de...

Thanks for taking the time to reiterate that point Jim.... and thank you for not being rude. I would hate to see what that's like.

Thinking about it, that makes sense. Elipsoid height not ortho height for elevation factor because elipsoid is consistant, geoid is not.I use a RTN le...

Since it's newer zoning designations, the area should appear digitally here:You can also see if other LOMAs have been done nearby.

I thought the elipsoid height generated the grid factor and the ortho height generated the elevation factor. Combined factor being an average if the ...

Thanks Loyal I appreciate it. I know I'm being a wuss, but anything else available that allows you to enter in feet and with an ortho height in order...
