Trimble Access- Staking with Reference Alignment

In this video we demonstrate how to stake to a reference alignment. This will allow you to see your current position’s station and offset on an alignment, relative to a referenced road. When doing this, Trimble Access will record the design and reference alignment as-staked details. This process is very useful for people who stakeout from a DXF or LandXML, as this allows users to stakeout transitions, tapers, turn lanes, etc. while referencing a chosen centerline.

Dylan, great Video! I have a question with the bottom of the screen delta's before measuring the point. The demonstration showed a Fill of 1.37 or something to the CL. If you stakeout the Back of Curb road alignment, using the CL alignment as your reference, will the Cut/Fill be to the CL or the Back of Curb in this case?

Hi Jay, I am looking the way to mark 20m offset line from lake edge. Since lake edge runs like snake, is there any way when staking with trimble access to find out that my stakeout point is at least 20m far from from the nearest edge? I am using TSC3 v2017 for field work.

I think what you would be looking for is the basic Stakeout line/polyline/alignment using the "To the line/alignment" method. This should be the first stake method in the list. This will tell you the current station and offset of your position relative to the line you're staking. Even if you have curves in the line, it should tell you your offset to the nearest perpendicular location on the line.
