Now what do you do when you hire an engineer for your project?

@rover83 My comment was specific to Wyo, I assume NGS publishes DS values aligned with each state. They aren't changing in 2023 for NAD83 numbers....

@rover83 Datasheets are in USft still. Went back and looked and the last OPUS I did had no feet anywhere. I'm like you, I don't pay attention to t...

That's a strange one. If the new widened ROW runs E-W then there is 5' bump into the new ROW. So say the north 5' of the west 30' of Lot 1 and the no...

It's gonna be fun, the NGS will continue to publish in USfeet,,,,,,,,soooooo guess what users will put into the black boxes.

@lurker Yes, they publish values in US Feet, however, it's not statutory. So,,,,,,,,,, here we are today. No big deal for me, these projects are hy...

@olemanriver I remember some of those numbers, 1609.34, 804.67, 18.28, 10.06, they tend to stick especially 804.67, I used that thing so many times.

@norm Yep, the great meter conversion fiasco. I was a big advocate of it, changed my mind by the time it was finally pulled. Learned what the term F...

@lurker That one is plainly stated. International Feet in Michigan.

There is talk that the state is legislatively defined as US survey feet for NAD83. I'd like to see that statute, from my reading of it, the statute is...

We use C3D. Most of our engineering clients want to develop their own drawings and we send them coded points. The first coded points I did were for a...

The published coordinates for my local HARN points are normally within a centimeter horizontally when checked to CORS points. Is that what you mean ...

@rover83 There is an option to apply ITRF to NAD83(2011) to the project. However, when I try to use that option and state plane it seems to simply s...

@fugarewe You may survey in an infinite number of projections using NAD83(2011). Right there in TBC is an option to create your own. In fact there a...

You can't negotiate statutory requirements out of a price proposal for preparing an ALTA survey. Are we sure about that? Not trying to argue (I ...

An ALTA survey that didn't need to be an ALTA survey. Transfer that liability.
