    so why can't old mate on datum 9 stand right on the corner so when you move the dumpy (change) he can see the staff from both sides and have the same reading (not moving the staff just turning it so he can see it with the dumpy)
    and if he did how would you write it on your sheet?

    • @Buildsum
      @Buildsum  6 лет назад

      Hi Mate, yes that is the idea however you won't have the same reading because the instrument has moved and won't be at the same height as it was. The booking on the sheet would be the same.
      Hope this helps

  • @kirandewoo5390
    @kirandewoo5390 8 лет назад +2

    Thanks again. it would be appreciated if you could help in setting a dumpy level or theodolite on a given BM and fixed peg. i mean to align it with the peg at the Bm. When i try to set it , the whole levl goes off the preset point.

      @Buildsum  9 лет назад

      RobertJohn Hi Robert You could note it if you wanted or you could delete the reading on 17. If you do take the reading just make sure that you end up with the same RL for both. I checked the Rise and Fall sheet and we do so all is OK.

    • @Buildsum
      @Buildsum  Год назад

      Hi Mate, there is usually a site survey done as part of preparing the plans and getting the contours for the site however information about the height of specific points on the site are not included.
      To be fair this is not a survey that you might usually require, you may only need to get the height of one or 2 points at any time however the process is the same and the point of the video was to demonstrate how the level book is filled out.

    great animations! I love all your vedios and you are really helping us all! I only have a question: at the end of the process, when you looking back at the datum point (the reading is 2.634), why did you record it in the "foresight" column? The datum is a known point, I think it should be in the backsight column?

    • @Buildsum
      @Buildsum  4 года назад +1

      Hi Mate, in this case, because it is a closed survey the point would be known, however, if it was an open survey it wouldn't be and as it is the last reading in the survey it will have to go in the Foresight column otherwise the checks will not work. Hope this helps.
