Creating a New Point by Chainage, Offset, and Pole Height

You can create a point by specifying a station, offset, and pole height from the current centerline. The level is computed by algebraically adding the staff reading to the current value set with the Set Height of Instrument command.

Note: For parameter descriptions, see the Quick Reference tab.
