A name used for the skills of the topographic jobs
Earlier we saw how to create contours based on a points’ network taken in the field. Now we’ll see how to do it, from existing curves in a scanned map. As we did with the design of roads, let’s split the process into steps, so that the post won’t go longer than a snake fart.
And just think that my technicians walked with these toys nearly a year; just only to tell me, at last, that they don’t understand them and preferred to stay with the Pro. Well, let’s find a way to give use to a couple of GPS Mobile Mapper 6, which I hope to get on with
The Mobile Mapper 6 is the generation that came to replace the CX and Pro, which produced Magellan time ago. Today we will see how to capture field data. 1. Basic configurations. To capture data, the equipment must have installed the Mobile Mapping software that comes with the discs when purchasing your computer and is
Of the best links I’ve received as Gabriel’s feedback from Argentina who told us about it, a couple of days ago. GPS Babel is a free application tool under GPL license, which runs on Windows, Linux and Mac. Ideal for downloading data from a computer and upload it directly to another. For example, you can
Geoinformatics arrives in his first edition of 2010, with a marked emphasis on remote sensing. Although the year is young, it seems that future editions will maintain this line, including this time two of the great from the unfree sector: ERDAS and ENVI. If things are as I imagine them, in future editions they will
Making land surveying with a total station, apart from having pinpoint accuracy, it also may be useful for other purposes, given that you have the elevation of each point. In this case, let’s see how generate contour, which was already sawn with AutoDesk Civil 3D, Bentley Geopak and Manifold GIS, so for educational purposes, in
From MicroStation Geographics in 2004 it was launched the project known as XFM, which within the same V8 dgn format included XML capabilities. After the 8.9 version known as XM Bentley discontinued, Geographics launches Bentley Map, a different smoked regarding the handling of data, but with the same logic operation. Migrating is now indisputable, for
Testing what Manifold GIS makes with digital models; I find that the toy does more than what we have seen for simple spatial management. I’ll use an example the model we created in the exercise of streets with Civil 3D. Import a digital model In this, Manifold is strongly powerful, it can imports the common
Similar (not much) to what AutoDesk Civil 3D offers, Geopak is a series of Bentley applications for Civil Engineering for making works for surveying, digital terrain models, design of roads and some geotechnical tasks. Although we know, the latter will be catapulted after the acquisition of gINT Software. RunningGeopak Once installed, it is not created
Bentley Site is one of the tools include within the package known as Bentley Civil (Geopak). In this case we’re going to see how to create a terrain model based on an existing 3D map. 1. The data I’m using a file in three dimensions, which contains a triangulated model in which each object is
Among the best of Construcgeek, it has the routines’ collection to improve work with AutoCAD; some of them are very practical for topography. Here is a summary of the best, so you can take a look at the new design; for downloading the files. lsp it’s necessary to enter as a registered user. To learn
Of course there must be ways to entertain the soul, and I have found them. As travelling three of every two days, meeting places, taking pictures, earning miles, making memory. Sometimes because I can, others because I want, almost always because I must. And yes, there are ways of fighting the adrenaline, as the challenge
Wouldn’t anyone like to have a table that compares different types of GIS software with topography’s features in order to make a decision on purchase? Well, such a thing exists at Point of Beginning, and it includes not only popular use software such as Autodesk, ESRI, MapInfo or Intergraph but also equipment manufacturers like Topcon,
TopoCAD is a basic but comprehensive solution for surveying, CAD drawing and engineering design, although it does more than that in a development that has taken more than 15 years after his birth in Sweden. Now it is all over the world in 12 languages and 70 countries but does not seem to have achieved
In the case of surveying equipment, very often appears the need to make a comparison between two models, either from the same brand or from competition. Each company includes a breakdown of their products, but make comparative tables is a difficult task. On this, the Point of Beginning Magazine; specialized in the geo-engineering area and
Edmundo Herrera Engineer will be giving a seminar on the product features that have adapted to Latin American Bentley’s product, coined as PowerCivil Latin America, as it was done for Spain. Date: July 15, 2009 Hours: 10:00 a.m. (Mexico) 12:00 p.m. (Argentina) Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes Cost: Free Instructor: Mr. Edmundo Herrera PowerCivil is
I told you that I’m testing the MobileMapper 6, on this week we will do field test, but reading online I found that earlier on this year it was written an article based on a comparison test of these two instruments, here I’ll show the most important of this comparison can full download from this
After being working with the MobileMapper Pro, from which we have some satisfaction (not all), this year we will be working with the model developed (0 redesigned) called Magellan MobileMapper 6. Here are the first impressions: What makes it different from Pro The main thing is that this already comes with Windows Mobile 6; making
