Figure 7: Grid Surface in a Topo
Using the topo you have created, as long as you are using the Cut/Fill option, you can use the same topo
as you did with the Triangles option but have a different surface shown to you.
As you drive over your map you will drop tiny colored circles that represent if you would cut/fill or if you
are on DITCH. Following suit,
•
Red = cut
•
Green = grade
•
Blue = fill
For testing purposes, you can select
Mock Surface Mesh
which will give you a small triangle shape
around where you are located.
When the triangle appears, you will be
given rough elevation wherever you move inside the triangle’s
lines. This is a troubleshooting feature typically used for support, but you also have the option to view it.

Line Drawing
A line drawing map is a (.nez) or (.dxf) file that when loaded shows the curves/outlines in a
map.
This is mainly used in the contruction business to give a 2-dimensional blueprint for buildings,
obstructions, etc that are in the area that you collected data in.
To obtain a line drawing you have to import one from a
n outside source such as WaterCourse™. Only
recognized files will work.
When uploaded, the DITCH bar in the left margin will display a value. As you walk around your
curves/outlines with a GPS connected, you will see if you need to cut or fill to get the area on DITCH.
