Assess the site<\/h3>\n
\u2022 Select a suitable place for the starting instrument position, or Origin, where you can see most of the culvert fill<\/p>\n
\u2022 Make sure you can shoot to a second point that may be necessary to see all of the fill<\/p>\n
Measure the Culvert<\/h3>\n
\u2022 Set the Origin or starting Control Point<\/p>\n
\u2022 Put a temporary mark in the ground at the Origin and set the laser system up over it<\/p>\n
\u2022 Start a New File and select either a ‘Volume with Azimuth\u2019 or \u2018with Angle\u2019 survey<\/p>\n
\u2022 Enter an accurate height for the laser Instrument above\u00a0the mark on the ground<\/p>\n
\u2022 The target height will typically be 0.0 when shooting directly to the surface<\/p>\n
\u2022 Accept the default values of 0,0,0 for the Origin and reference the angle, if used<\/p>\n
Culvert Fill Volume Workflow<\/h3>\n
\u2022 With the Base shot icon highlighted, shoot in the points (yellow)<\/p>\n
\u2022 Follow the line of separation between the fill and the existing ground<\/p>\n
\u2022 Shoot in more points where the line changes direction often, fewer where it is straight<\/p>\n
\u2022 Make sure to measure points at all major breaks in slope and direction<\/p>\n
\u2022 Tap the Pile icon and shoot in points on the material (red)<\/p>\n
\u2022 Make sure to get good coverage and take points at all the breaks in the slope<\/p>\n
\u2022 If another instrument position is required, tap the Create New CP button<\/p>\n
\u2022 Move the system to the other side and use the same workflow to map in the base and pile points<\/p>\n

Pit Volume Workflow<\/h3>\n
\u2022 With the Base shot icon highlighted, shoot in the points (yellow)<\/p>\n
\u2022 Follow the topmost edge of the pit before the slope breaks down<\/p>\n
\u2022 Shoot in more points where the line changes direction often, fewer where it is straight<\/p>\n
\u2022 Make sure to measure points at all major breaks in slope and direction<\/p>\n
\u2022 Tap the Pile icon and shoot to points down in the pit (red)<\/p>\n
\u2022 Make sure to get good coverage and take points at all the breaks in the slope<\/p>\n
