Very informative sir.

[@SITENG]

Thanks and welcome 👍

[@seanosullivan7887]

Great Job

[@SITENG]

Thank you!

[@flyingsurveyor]

Awesome Greg! You explained great, even if iCon is not my favorite software 😆

[@marjongjini7857]

Love Leica Icon , i have been working now with that machine 3 years and i save a lot of time . Importing the dxf and getting rid of all that excel cvs is so easy , and also it reduces the chances for mistake . I think all companies need to go Robotic and reduce those TS 6/3

[@SITENG]

Yeah, it's different way of working now - digital layout :) I think it will take over completely withing few years anyway. All the best!

[@markgibbs2203]

Awesome instrument I just bought one , can you lock the auto.pole in tilt mode . I find it keeps losing tilt when you stop moving

[@SITENG]

Didn't work with autopole, but definitely you can!

Dear Greg, As a junior in this field, I am very pleased with your content but I believe it would be better if a professional like you suggest more advanced videos about civil engineering and survey. Thank you again for your hard work!!!

[@SITENG]

Thanks! There will be more, just focusing now on showing very first skills you need to enter the industry, but will be coming to drawings etc soon 😁

[@bashysamuel5392]

Greg,you can also set up permanent monuments; backsight foresight process. That is what I do on site initially; Then once the structures are up, I do resection. I still use my leica tcp1205 robotic with cs15 controller

[@SITENG]

Thanks! We had a permanent stations where the prisms were, but never used it - always resection. Good idea 👍

[@seanosullivan7887]

Just a quick question. I set up three pegs with a nail in them with Leica GPS and surveyed them. I then put the coordinates in Total Station and resurveyed them. I then added reto targets around the site but i am getting a constant 30mm height difference between GPS and TS. Any idea why?

[@SITENG]

If you're happy with the GPS stations and level as well, then you should change the height on your retro target info, maybe you put it wrong? if its constant 30mm I would adjust the retros info to reflect the your set up datum. What was your set up when you did your 3gps points with TS - this is interesting ;) you need to set 1 datum yourself anyway if you can't tie in to anything else - ideally I would refer to some existing point / station etc - don't trust gps too much

The engineer I am meant to be working under has took more of a managerial role and I don’t get to work with him much and I am now carrying out basic setting out on a site in my second year of being an apprentice engineer. Can I still learn as I go without being with a senior engineer all the time as I feel I won’t learn as much as I should, like reading drawings, using certain tools in auto cad and generally carrying out more technical setting out. Or do you learn this stuff as you go along ?

[@SITENG]

@@AidenRobinson-kl2dx very good! You will be under pressure, but that’s the best way to learn & progress now 💪💪

[@tonyeden8381]

@@SITENG….. @AidenRobinson-kl2dx measure twice and cut once as many old joiners used to tell me when I was learning…..pressures is good mate but if you get really stuck seek guidance from your mentor

[@AidenRobinson-kl2dx]

Have you got any videos giving a tutorial on auto cad skills you need for site engineering if not do you think you could produce one. As I can’t find any auto cad videos related to the tools you use as a site engineer .

[@SITENG]

There are couple of videos showing how to bring and work with data and total station, I don't have vid about the CAD itself yet - coming soon though ;)

[@MrLan3r]

I find it crazy that the 2face and sets app costs £300+ for the app

[@SITENG]

Not sure about the pricing, but have to double check as I want to go for iCON myself :)

[@TheQuantumFire]

The motion tracking on your camera for your full body shots is nauseating.

[@SITENG]

Thanks! I'll make it more static then 👊
