Hi Greg, amazing videos, thank you. I have subscribed and will be doing a lot of watching in the near future, as I have recently gotten back into site engineering and have a lot of refreshing to do and learning on updated technologies. Your efforts are greatly appreciated, and thank you so much for the offer of resources, I will be emailing for your spreadsheet shortly.

Thanks!!! Always happy to help!

Hey Greg just used your spreadsheet to convert geodetic to a local for a potash mine job and it worked perfect and is quick and easy. I’ll be keeping your spreadsheet for the rest of my career. Thanks!!

Reference line eliminates any need for local ? if you have a complicated combination of grid systems or sometimes a radial grid reference line is far more efficient?

[@SITENG]

Not really, you can use it like local where your offset = easting and length = northing, but creating local grid is much better and makes your life much easier. You can work later in stakeout mode moving in E and N which is great.

[@martinshaughnessy3622]

I assume that people are using cad but thats not allways the case. You will often encounter grid systems where e.g. columns are at a tiny angle to the main grid or an apparently uniform grid but when you luck close there is a .001 deflection in one part. This is typical of certain designers who are trying to generate problems on site. In such cases reference line in global is more efficent but you would need cad to pull up the any globals required.

[@SITENG]

In theory we shouldn't use CAD for setting out at all, unless approved by designer. That's our role to keep checking and not trusting CAD too much 😉 In the case shown in my vid you couldn't even do a proper ref line (grid line) as information was so sh.... so I actually put the drawing to global myself. The thing is that local speed up the job then you are using stakeout which gives you 2 lines you need (I will show this when I get TS06) 😁

[@martinshaughnessy3622]

The days of the calculator and all those programmes are in the past. The idea that you cannot use cad is a joke? It’s been around now for decades and people are still wondering if they should/can use it. Your phone has a an app with cad(capacity) on it which can be used for all the necessary cad info. Have you ever seen an advert: setting out eng required with cad i guess in 20 years time they will be wondering if you can use Revit /BIM a local grid and a global are identical, the local being derived from the global. If you set out a wall using offset to a local it is not easier than setting it out from global and probably more error prone. The introduction of the local idea was in the days of cad being only available to a few in a privileged position and people selling software on calculators that is now obsolete. Local grid, calculators with programmes for local and paper print outs (often illegible) are a thing of the past. Most modern leicas have the capacity to up load a cad dxf and work from it directly. The first job i did setting out many years ago,where the engineer before me was fired and i had to replace him, had a .08 degree error in half the plot where the engineer missed the deflection which was very covertly displayed on an A3 almost illegible paper printout ( a typical Gallifordtry scenario) Not coincidentally Galliford ,collaborating with the designer, loved this as they wanted to bash the subcontractor. A designer who does not want you using cad is a bit like the hire company agency who would sell his mother at the crossroads to flog an instrument. He (the hire agency) does not want any one challenging his instruction to management who collaborate with him, on what they require on site. If they view you as a challenge to their selling op they will even sabotage instruments delivered on site. That is the type of (whitecollar)scum you will meet in construction.

[@SITENG]

Some companies don't even have CAD license so you can end up with pdf drawings and TS06, if you have your CAD go for it. On 99% of jobs you are not allowed use CAD in terms of setting out which means you should in theory use information provided on printed copy. You said you're finding some errors on CAD, well it doesn't matter as you should take info from pdf do a ref line and that's it :) Obviously everyone uses CAD if they have it.

[@AdrianHrece]

Hi, can you align the gridline using global, wihout local? and use it on site?

[@SITENG]

Just so it’s clear - align the drawing with the grid in global right? Yes you can, then you will have each point co-ords 😁

[@SNDuGamingX]

Hi everyone. I am very familiar with the setting out procedure on site when I have known control points to set up the station over. However, I have been giving the task of setting out a new extension to an existing building. The CAD drawing has the existing building with the extension present but no proper X,Y,Z co-ordinates on it. There is also no known control point anywhere on this site. Can someone please assist me on how I go about setting out this building?? Any help would be great

[@SITENG]

Hi! I would shoot the existing building and set a ref line a work with it, as it really will be your 'local system' where you will be using offset as x and length of line as y. Let me know if you need more explanation.👍👍👍

[@andybrookes5947]

Hi Greg, could I also get a copy of your spreadsheet too please ?

[@dandodson3713]

Hi Greg, nice videos. Quick question: I do not understand why you need to use a local grid. You're control points and and architect setting out drawing are in world coordinates. Why not just use world coordinates on site and use the align function to coordinate all your drawings to world coordinates. If you ever need to use gps to check something it will all be coordinated instead of wasting time transforming every drawing/asbuilt. Cheers

[@SITENG]

this is very useful, especially when using TS06 instrument. I agree that for robotic instruments where you upload a drawing there is no need for it, although still might be useful.

You should do one about setting up control points when there are no ground controls on or near site and the only controls n site are old surveyed in controls that you do not know how acurate thery are. To note that they are in inconvenient locations and only facing one side of the site. Traversing is not an option as all the roads have been replaced.

[@SITENG]

Hi Vlad! Not an easy one 😊 Dependant on situation, if there are some existing buildings, or nothing around to check that would be our decision still to do the job, as if we are start to use these we are responsible. Maybe GPS would help as well.

[@yemosuper]

Hi, there are some videos on you tube that explained this. check it out

[@vladgyorgy9711]

@@SITENG thanks, gps is ok for pile mat, but for capping beams I think it is a no go. Will call in a survey company to establish controls, as they have the time and gear( traverse kits, the right standers for the gps), plus they also provide the documentation and are responsible for doing a propper job.

[@SITENG]

Definitely go for it. You spend some money, but you'll have a peace of mind. That's actually their job to provide the info on which you can base later all the setting out and they should be happy to do it.
