Measuring distance and offset values on the slope
1. To enter the 3-Pt Reference Plane function, press
[7]
or select
S-Plane
in the Programs menu.
2. Enter three points to define the slope plane. To
enter the point by direct measurement, press the
MsrPT
softkey.
If you press
[ENT]
in a blank field, an input screen
for temporary coordinates appears. These
coordinates will not be stored.
When you have entered the temporary
coordinates,
<Keyed-in XYZ>
appears
instead of the PT name.
If the plane is defined by two points (by selecting
2Pt
), the vertical
plane is the same as the plane used in the V-Pln function, but the
indicating factors are Sta and dZ, not a and b. For more information, see
Measuring distance and offset values on the vertical plane, page 84 .
