The latest one we did was for a vacated town. It was interesting, the evidence of a town that was never built out, then vacated, then pastured made it...

@williwaw 73 was the number 2 pick of random 1-100 numbers.

Holy, I'm a fan of the Hitchhiker books. I can't say the same for the movies.  

Youtubers wanted to know the favorite random number. They asked average people to pick a random number between 1 and 100. The most picked random numbe...

only they got lost so easily 😉  

@rankin_file The numbers get really hairy if you let them get to you. Fortunately, I'm not smart enough to allow it to bother me.  

I'm taking a wild stab here; that bench mark is EL 100.00'.  

"cure the world of stupid", I'm gonna steal that. I worked for a shop that was an early proponent of getting everything on the worldwide system. Of...

If someone puts out a 10,000, 10,000 set of control, and if it's done close to precisely, it doesn't take much effort to merge it into state plane wit...

Or just 10,000, 10,000 every job.  

Don't sweat it MT. It took me a bunch of time and effort trying to figure out the best way to handle these "orphan" coordinate systems to also figur...

@mathteacher You are so close, you almost said it out loud. Think about first principals, how the geometry works. Draw a line between 1m, 1m ...

I'm with you, but I've learned when to leave well enough alone with Trimble. We got burned recently; Trimble was automatically exporting a US foot job...

@mathteacher I'm gonna have to stand firm on my answers here MT. The 100' change of the scale point only introduces .03' of change in the surface c...

@mathteacher Forget about state plane, origin points and all that stuff. Think of a gird of northing and eastings or YX, a point has a N1,000,00...

@mathteacher mathteacher, the origin point for the SP system isn't anywhere near 0,0, it's actually N=100,000m, E=400,000m, that would be at the or...

This technological civilization we are pinned to is so fragile any number of threats can blow it all away. I've never been a prepper, we all figure...
