Known Point Setup and Indicator Lights/ Layout on Vertical Surface
In this video we learn how I do a total station setup on a known point. I also briefly go over the indicator lights.

Using the Trimble RTS, we setup on dirt and layout some columns for wind girts.
Offset and Elevation Layout with Robotic Total Station
Просмотров 38 тыс.4 года назад
In this video I take you with me on a simple total station setup and an easy layout of one offset from gridline and we set a few benchmarks.
I would spread the tripod legs a lot further than that. It would make it a lot more stable. Especially in windy air conditions.
Are you still laying out for iron now 4 years later? Let me know if you need a job in Atlanta!
For the companys that purchase a total station and give it to their guys and say "here you go" you are a big help! Great advice, this is exaclty how you do it
Brilliant video!!
This is called the target offset.
I wonder if this is the normal pace of your work, do you often feel pressured to keep up with construction work?
Great tutorial, thank you. Metric system is so much easier to work with.
You really need to invest into an MT100 for your pole prism brother.
When you pulled the prism off of the pole does it not change the constant to 0mm? Or is the prism constant 0mm when it's screw back into the pole?
What are you considered…surveyor or iron worker
Hello! Great job on the videos, very informative. I’m wondering how you bring your control up as you start to build up. Might be a good idea for a video. Thanks for your work.
Nice work!
Excellent video
Very nice sir❤❤
Wondering if you could give me some insight, I'm trying to create temporary points on a curb that curves in various spots, when I go to my layout tab and click the circle/arc button the line doesn't show the points it should, rather it tells me there's no logical radius inputted. How can I create points on a curved curb without having to create a bunch of intersecting lines to create a selectable point?
There are several ways to layout a radius curb or a curve. 1) you can choose 3 points on the arc; starting point on the arc, mid point and the end point 2) you can stake with the center point of the arc and the radius of the arc 3) you can stake out with radius of the arc, the starting and end point of the arc. I hope this helps
Shoot the points then select them and add them on an arc
Make America Metric :) Thanks for sharing. 👋🏻
Hello I’m Shaun a instructor at the sheet metal Jatc in North Carolina do you how to create your control points to set up with the Kenai tablet ?
email me at randylfry@gmail.com
thanks bro
For increased accuracy and repeatability of measurements I'd use a bipod on the pole with a calibrated 8' circular boubble and a nodal prism ( Leica mini with -17mm prism constant for Trimble instruments, Leica Circular prism (-34.4mm pc), or Seco nodal prisms ). A nodal prism would return the correct angle and distance measurement even if the prism is not "looking" straight at the instrument. The way it looks you're using a mini prism with a 0mm offset. If you used on the -30mm side, you'd be getting more consistent results. 0mm offset is the most sensitive to any readings that are not perpendicular to the instrument's line of sight, also the elevations would be off when shooting at steep angles. A nodal prism tilted toward the instrument would solve this problem. 360 prisms don't yield good elevations at steep angles. In over 25 years of doing layout work I tried many setups and the least accurate seemed to be the telescoping poles. I only use a 2 piece pole that I rarely extend. The new poles boubbles are never calibrated out of the box, so you have to do that yourself. I personally use the instrument to calibrate the boubble within 0.5mm runout.
Sir, we definitely need more advices from you!!
Your absolutely correct
Use a MT1000 in active mode
Thank you for your videos, verry helpful.
A 360 prism would work better
No because it has multiple mirrors so more chance of errors. Structural layout has to be real tight
Also I think he uses this particular prism because it can rotate up and down (useful when the TS is setup on ground floor and he is high up on the structure) plus it is small and has a useful tip on its back that can be used to point on vertical elements like when he used it to check the elevation on a point marked on a column
Probably too many obstructions on the structure But I do feel using a tripod is a lot easier to work with than the single pole
what is the prism constant to the back point ? this is really neat . Thanks for sharing the video
It is 0 when he pills the prism off of the rod. We call that a peanut prism in Atlanta
The 360° prism constant is 2mm
what do you use for your prism constant .. when you switch of and on the Prism pole . seem like the best way to lay out vertical or check column offset .. :)
Great video! I’m an ironworker in Local 721 Toronto. Where did you get trained on how to use the robotic total station?
Damn good videos watched em all learned a lot wish you still made them.
Why not use 360 prism?
He needs an MT100
Geez, all without a bipod...
What model is it?
Great video, man. I'm just starting to use a Trimble RTS773. I will use your tips. I wish I had the radio reciever, though. Pure tablet/RTS is not that great for big distances. Greetings from Guatemala!
Hola angel Gutiérrez me gustaría contactarme tengo una RTS 773 y tengo algunas dudas, gracias.
How much u make an hour?
Great videos!
Awesome! Curious, control point 495, elev 101' 8 11/16". Where does that elevation height reference too? Is that control point 495 101' 8 11/16" above a surveyed benchmark at the ground level per NAV88 vertical datum? Or is it localized? I.e. above a 0 level of the building or ground or whatever? Thanks for the very informative video!
it referances to the total station, which is a control so you can figure out elevation from there.
It's in reference to the control point he set his gun up on originally because it was at a known benchmark. The Elevations are set different on each job
Great video I use Trimble access and it does not work in feet and inches. It is in tenths, I’m jealous.
Love your channel! Looks like you are in Orlando. What erector do you work for? Who’s the GC? Ever layout anchor bolts and embeds?
nice content
Thank you
