2. Move the machine to point A and position the sensor on the
cutting edge on the selected point.
3. When the cutting edge rests on the point, press
A
to measure the
point; the
Measuring
dialog box displays during the
measurement process (Figure 3-28 on page 3-33).
4. Move to B point and position the sensor on the cutting edge on
the selected point.
5. When the cutting edge rests on the point, press
B
to measure the
point; the
Measuring
dialog box displays during the
measurement process (Figure 3-28 on page 3-33).
Once the A and B point measurements finish, 3DMC determines
the Mainfall orientation and grade connecting the A measurement
toward the B measurement (see Figure 3-26 on page 3-31).
If needed, you can re-measure the points; 3DMC saves the A and
B point coordinates separately. Also, it allows the operator to
manually type in a grade by pressing the entry box.
A positive sign (+) designates an upgrade from A to B, and the
negative (-) sign designates a downgrade from A to B.
