Trajectory, and nodes

If you've not tried "trajectory", and you do topos, YOU ARE MISSING OUT!
In essence, it is good for the open areas. 40 acres in an HR is doable.
Get some help, learn that tool.


If you have a dirt road, driveway, or such, just try it. It makes a dwg file.

Another thing, it'd be real handy to be able to NAME those trajectories, inside the LS. So, after topoing a road, or field, you can name it. It could show up in acad, with the trajectory name at the end of that trajectory.
Like "Willard rd"
West side
Pond 1
Crk 1
Crk 2
Crk 3
Crk 4
Etc.

It could be a prompt at the end of a trajectory, right before ACCEPT.

I'm with you on the beauty of the trajectory function. I have only had my unit less than a year and have shot countless miles in very short order. Centerline, edge of pavement, all done while driving and if there is tree canopy hanging over, there is just a gap in "points" rather than storing bad data. That made me happy. Bad data is always worse than no data. I had a 30 acre site to topo that I had already shot manholes and catch basins with an S6. I mounted the LS on a side by side and drove a 10' grid and purposely drove over these manholes and catch basins as check shots. They checked generally within a half inch, one or two at a tenth. Right up against a tall structure were a few wonky shots that were obviously outliers and easy to see but I completed a 30 acre topo in 3 hours with over 4,000 shots.
