Tips for Working with Project Base Points and Survey Points

Consider the following when working with project base points and survey points:

• To ensure accuracy of the model, be sure the model geometry is less than 20 miles from the startup location of the project base point. To check this measurement:
  1. Use Move to Startup Location from the context menu to move the project base point back to its startup location.
  2. Use the Measure tool on the Modify tab to measure the distance from the project base point to the model geometry.
  3. If the distance is more than 20 miles, move the model geometry within 20 miles of the startup location of the project base point.
• To ensure that an imported DWG site is positioned correctly in the project:
  1. Using the coordinates you received from the civil engineer, specify the coordinates of the survey point.
  2. Specify the correct angle for True North.
