Rotate Points in Trimble Access

[@leithholness6287]

The way I do it for terrestrial survey is by editing the bearing you set as your backsight and key the original station point back in to adopt a reference mark. Keeps all the original point numbers keeps the html easy to understand

I have been looking for an explanation of this process for far too long. Thank you good sir!

In the COGO routine for azimuths you do not have to use the calculator. You can go into each Azimuth and type 1-2 (or your point numbers you want to calculate) and it will auto populate the azimuth angle between those two points.

AP Woodworks yep your correct. I like using the calculator for Visual purposes. I would not let my guys rotate jobs in the field.

very helpful this is so essential. thank you

Hi. I'm used to Leika from my last job. I am now using Trimble. I need help moving points. Example, calling point 1101 - 101. In Leika it was cogo rotate. When I do that with Trimble, I'm not getting the same. Anything that helps? Thanks

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

Not exactly sure what you’re asking. You want to move 1101 to point 101?

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

Look under cogo, adjust, transformation, translate.

Example: a draftsman creates a rectangle lot 120' x 50'. Then another rectangle that's 30' x 45' to represent envelope corners. But all this is in maybe a 5000x5000 system. I'm trying to figure out how to shoot in the actual property corners, then take the drafters points to place the envelope corners created into the real world.

It’s amazing how few people can calculate plats or deeds in space then translate and rotate to known points using their collectors.

Robert, we would like to do some videos on various Trimble Access tips and tricks but were wondering...do you have an emulator for Access or are you linking it up to your computer to do your videos? Just curious. Thanks. One trick for creating multiple points with a single shot is to just type in all of the codes and take a single shot. Trimble access knows to create multiple codes and draws all of the line work from one shot. We use numbers for codes at our DOT. For example, a "106" is a sidewalk and a "725" is a break line. So let's say we are shooting the edges of a sidewalk. On the west side and the east side we already started our sidewalk codes as a "106 BS" (west side) and a "106.1 BS" (east side). And we are working our way to the north by alternating our shots ("106" and "106.1"). Let's say we come to the bottom of a ramp that goes uphill and we want to create a break line. In our shot, the code would be "106 725 BS" (on the west side). Then on the shot on the east side it would be "106.1 725 ES". It keeps the two sidewalk strings going along, but it also draws our break line between the two shots. This only works if you have a "106", "106.1" and a "725" in you feature codes...but it works perfect. When we first started using Trimble Access, we would end up taking two separate shots and then our TIN would have tiny little triangles because it was never possible to get the two shots in the exact same place. Anyway, we were just wondering how you do your videos. Thanks.

I use snagit on the TSC7 or I use soti pocket controller on the PC. When using the PC I also use camtasia. Everything is recorded real time.

...and here’s a tip for all the kids out there, don’t transform your GNSS base point, unless you want to find out what happens, and it ain’t pretty...I had the vehicle serviced today and had occasion to read the Access manual, and see there is a Line Transformation, that seems to establish a working relationship between datums with out actually applying the transformation, I need to figure out what that is all about, but if I could just have you figure it and tell me about it, that would be grand!

Hey boss man you don't have to go to the calculator to compute your azmuth all you have to type in is 1 - 5 and that will give you the asmus between those two points

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

You are correct. But it didn’t use to be that simple.

[@ajmckinzey7359]

@@SurveyingWithRobert thanks a lot of your tips have helped

[@RJ-bf7fl]

Instead of going to calculator, you can just type in 1-2 and 1-5 in the Azimuth box

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

yes but I am old school so i like the visual.

Please hindi language

[@SurveyingWithRobert]

I am not sure what your asking.
