You can create a point by giving an offset and rod height with respect to the current cross section, height of instrument, and centerline.
The elevation is computed by subtracting the rod from the current value you set with the Set Height of Instrument command.
To create a point by offset and rod height from the current cross section in the Survey Command Window
- In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click on the network to edit, and click Survey Command Window.
