@dmyhill Most plans today have no dimensions, no bm and no baseline.?ÿ Yes, a surveyor can scale the paper plans for layout. But no two will place it...

I'm solo also, and hate paper in the field. I spend time in the office making deed plots in cad. Try to best fit them the best I can. Note all monumen...

Welcome! Vertical construction projects, BIM!! Working on a few myself right now. Tomorrow on the 6 sixth floor to measure slab edges. This project ...

@john-putnam You are 100% correct. Most projects today can't be constructed from the PDF/Paper plans alone. I believe 95% of the drawings today come ...

@nate-the-surveyor No need for that. I live only a 12 miles from Duane Frymire. If I needed to see it, I'd contact him. We did meet on a project seve...

@nate-the-surveyor Yes, I do the same with my gear. In woods,, I run my gear similar to your LS. I collect static at the base and rover, while doing ...

@nate-the-surveyor Yes, I remember. You also used some old L1 gear. Was it Locus? ?ÿI feel the OP can do well with adding static and post processing...

I had a feeling this thread was going to turn into a Javad commercial.?ÿ

@350rocketmike I notice you are just across the lake (Ontario) from me. For large construction sites, I like to set a permanent BASE pole in concret...

@350rocketmike Have your tied a Hyrbrid system RTK/EDM? Your boss is correct, RTK is not good for the building corner layout. I would set a few contr...

What are you staking? Why not RTK?

Assuming youuse a tripod w/ tribrach at the backsight. Why would you need the Bluetooth to reach the backsight 300m away?

@350rocketmike I notice a theme also. What type of construction layout are you doing at 300m from the gun? I don't like to go much farther than 100m ...

If you're spending 30-60 minutes trying to catch an RTK fix, you'd be much better off collecting Static data at the Base and Rover for a more reliable...

Yes, I've been thinking of this also. Place a sensor at the monument, similar to dog ID with proximity mode. This would be useful for the NASA/Drone m...

Try a high impact deep well socket ?ÿ

@jim-frame I'm almost always looking at the robot, and rarely go beyond 300ft.
