Civil survey tools -wont save updated tin

Roy Forsyth — Tue, 01 Sep 2015 15:45:17 GMT

I have loaded a set of survey data and created a tin using survey tools under Project Eplorer. I am then manipulating the triangles with the "edit terrain model" tools under the "civil tools" task. When I export the model as a geopak tin (in the Civil Model tab), the original tin is saved without the manipulations that were done to the triangles. How can I get these triagle manipulations to be a part of my exported tin? Is this a bug?

Thanks,

Missig "Terrain Model" tools.

I'm using GeoPak Survey to edit a terrain model. I used to have a bunch of tools under the Terrain Model tool bar and now only 3 show up. Where did the other tools go and how do I get them back?

Contour range in GeoPak Survey

Is there a way to change the contour range in GeoPak Survey?

scale of custom line type with survey linking code

Roy Forsyth — Tue, 24 Mar 2015 14:55:31 GMT

I have a .rsc file setup with a custom line type. I'm using GeoPak Survey to import a text file containing survey points and have linking codes drawing lines to connect the points. The line looks like it comes in with the correct custom style but it appears to have a very small scale so the detail of the line cant be seen. Is there a way for me to change the scale of this line when it is generated?

Import depth instead of elevation

I have Z values that are reported as positive by my survey device starting at the water surface and going down. This is an underwater survey application and the values refer to depth instead of elevation. So everything is plotting inverted. Is there a way to invert the z value or add a negative to it upon import?

cross section of tin in survey field book

I've imported survey points into a field book and created a tin in Survey and I'm looking for a simply way to cut a cross section across the tin?

import lat long text file to GeoPak survey

Roy Forsyth — Fri, 13 Mar 2015 16:25:13 GMT

I currently have a .xml file setup to import survey points and lines from a .txt file. If I convert my survey data to state plane coordinates with CorpsCon first and then right click on field book and say “Load” and “File”, everything loads as should with the linking codes working properly. However, if I try to skip the CorpsCon step and load Lat/Long coordinates through the “Field book”, “Load”, “File using text import wizard” command, the file shows up in my field book but no points or lines are associated with it. I’m telling the text import wizard to project from WPLL84 to WIHP-SF (WI state plane south). I’ve been playing with “tools” “Geographic” “Select Geographic coordinate system” as well and assume that should be set to (WI state plane south) but it doesn’t seem to matter what I have it at, I get the same result with the empty file showing in the field book. Any thoughts?
