We want more videos.....maybe some tricks with 3D line.....cad files inserted in ts..... You are a very good teacher! Thank you!!! 😀😀😀😀

[@SITENG]

Hi NG! Thanks! There will be more. I am starting now Construction Drawings series where I will explain more and more :) CAD will be next one, but be patient please.

[@ongames9063]

thank you you are really a life saver

Thanks for comment Ionel, beggining of October starting new series so there will be more vids and do all my best to keep it regularly this time :)

Thank you , I will :)

[@TheMrasimqureshi]

Greg, Absolutely stunning videos for the people like me who want to jump from the manual Leica to Robotic Leica and your videos are very educational and very down to earth material with simple clear crystal explanation. You used the map to set the Reference Line on your Controller and which is fine. I wanted you show me if you have the coordinates of the line and you then set the Ref. Line for work using the coordinates from your memory on board. On the manual Leica this is how it is done but the coordinates are drawn out of the memory to fix the Ref. Line. I am assuming that you can do it the same way on TS15. But a demonstration would have been a diamond cut education. Fantastic video and a great education material. And........ why are you stopping making more videos in this setting-out series? You could have shown the following. 1: How to measure the height of the building or the tree? 2: How to set the circular arc and the offset line from the circular arc? 3: How to measure the AREA of the land on the set program? 4: How to measure the VOLUME of the earth mound? 5: How to set the Batter Rails. Hopefully you will cover them in future videos.

[@SITENG]

Thanks Asim! Very happy to hear that :)

[@ebrahimmirmohammadi2315]

Hi Greg, thank you for amazing videos. I am a graduate civil engineer and aiming to get a career as a site engineer, not sure with the new situation how much chance I have with out experience but your videos are being very helpful. I saw the video for introduction to drawings but have not seen any videos to follow up as you have mentioned in the video you will go through a lot of stuff to do with drawings. I would appreciate to see them too. Thanks a lot.

[@SITENG]

Hi Ebrahim! Despite situation there is still busy in construction, but the sooner you find something the better as many project are held, or stopped. I think we will see a big slow down next year(especially residentials). Soon I will start to upload construction site vids and construction drawings which will come one after another giving the view of elements and than cover in terms of drawing information :)

Yes bro engineer I love it

[@SITENG]

Happy you love it!

[@stephenedwards7995]

Greg. If you are marking accurate gridlines on a poured slab. How do you do this? Do you take the prism off the large pole, and fit a small point to it, like a regular prism? Or do you mark a point by the laser pointing to the line?

[@SITENG]

I would probably use a laser in this case, but if you have a small 'rod' that would be good with the prism too. I would still prefer the laser anyway to make it as perfect as possible, but it all depends what access you have etc etc

[@arababaian9047]

Need more video about leica s15

[@SITENG]

Hi! Watch my other vids please, there is enough knowledge to start 😁

[@tonnag7588]

Hi, thank you for your videos. Could you make videos at your real construction site by showing how you set out plate bolts, foundations, footings, drainage etc. Thank you

[@SITENG]

Beginning of October the latest I am starting construction site series videos so that will be exactly what you ask for :)

[@lessismore83009]

I'm managing the restoration of an old building that requires pilling an underpin. I've set up a local grid an stuck retros around the building to monitor any movement whils the foundation works begin. What's your thoughts on using a 5second instrument an not a specialist montoring station?? Great vids by the way 👍

[@SITENG]

I think it's enough, I am using 5sec. instrument and if there would be monitoring needed I would have no problem with that, unless the client has some requirements. If possible monitor the points from same position :) Thanks!!!

[@lessismore83009]

Thanks for your reply, no client requirement its just a personal preference really. Same point makes sense cheers

[@dondito90]

I wish u show the screen when u do "power search right" because i couldnt find it in my ts15. I found only "joystick" by which i can only rotate instrument manualy right or left :/

[@SITENG]

I will do for this weeken, will add a short video 👍

[@mrmightyz6501]

Hi mate, I’ve been using the TS06/07 model for about 2 years but I have found a new job and they need someone that can use the robotic EDM. Would it makes sense to take the job without having prior use of TS15 and the likes. Many thanks.

[@SITENG]

Hi! Hard to say really, it's not difficult like you can see on my videos, but good to have at least a bit of practise. Will you be the only engineer there? What kind of job that would be?

[@mrmightyz6501]

@@SITENG Yes I will be the only engineer there, and it’s a groundwork’s job mainly pilecaps and drainage.

[@SITENG]

​@@mrmightyz6501You can always try as you have experience, but you know how it is when it's busy and you would struggle with the EDM. You will be working with Leica? ​

[@mrmightyz6501]

@@SITENG Yes I absolutely understand, and yes they need someone that can use Leica TS15.

Sorry for late answer :) I hope you made a decision, let me know.

Fuck seak Greg, I didn’t know you got a channel 🙌😄. Good luck with that anyway..!

Hi Gabriel! I wanted to show you guys when it'll be more developed :) BTW don't forget to subscribe ;)

[@sujithpayyanur9624]

What is a stake line?

[@SITENG]

You can stake the line, or measure to line. Staking the line is marking the points where you can also set the increment you want to stake on the line. You can use is just to set the line as well.

[@engr.mohammadarshad2980]

How to draw this line at the end?

[@SITENG]

how to draw on the controller you mean? how to create the line?

Usually, you explain very fast, so it is not very good and please explain with more details

will try to do better next time 👍 remember you can always slow down the video on YT if that helps 😁
