Thought I'd post a quick culvert replacement project I worked on over the weekend. I picked up a total station and data collector over the winter and have just started integrating into our workflow. Work was done on Friday and I had working cross sections within 4 hours on Saturday.
It could have gone faster, but I didn't get as good of topo coverage in the field. I had to play with the linework to get a decent TIN. Lars, thanks for the 3D offset command. We just shot the top center of the box culvert wingwalls. I was able to offset the centerline to render the top and even the vertical face by an offset of H=0.1 and V=-10.0.
I'm still playing with the cross section plotting routine to tweak it closer to the old handdrafting style of K+E grid sheets. Other than that, a handy little product!
Thanks again Lars.
