triangles are shared in a central database so cross sections, freehand cross sections,
profiles, elevations, and feature codes can be accessed quickly.
1.11 Can CAiCE Visual Survey edit DTM triangles?
Once a DTM is created, the average surveyor spends one to two hours eliminating triangles
that do not reflect survey data in the model. CAiCE Visual Survey provides several
timesaving methods to eliminate degenerate triangles inside and outside selected DTM
surfaces. These methods include the ability to “obscure” triangles within or outside a closed
boundary chain, associate feature codes to triangles, and automatically create a boundary
around the DTM model for the clipping of extraneous triangles.
1.12 What types of reports does CAiCE Visual Survey generate?
CAiCE Visual Survey software functionality provides several built-in report formats. In
addition, you can easily create customized reports through a VBA macro. CAiCE Visual
Survey generates a complete set of stakeout reports for construction layout. These include
radial stakeout of points, curves, and spirals; stakeout of curves and spirals by tangent
offsets; radial stakeout of chains; stakeout of chains by even stations; stakeout from one
chain to another; and slope stake reports for design sections.
