36 - Reference elevation and reference axis
Measure
The command Measure allows to perform simple and complex surveys both of insides both
of outsides; however it presents several functions making it suitable also as a drawing CAD
system. About this is a command that can be used also without the connection to the
Zoom3D.
Reference elevation and reference axis
When it’s used a new job sheet it’s possible to measure a point that will be used as reference elevation:
measure the point and then assign the corresponding elevation. All next measured points will have their
elevation referred to the reference elevation.
First two points measured determine the reference axis of the job sheet; it’s important so to measure
two points that will be represented on the abscissa axis in the drawing.
Smart Drawing
SmartDrawing is a group of drawing functions allowing to create complete surveys of every kind. The
functions present allow not only to create lines between points but also complete polylines, rectangles,
circles, arcs; there are also commands to create solid objects as parallelepipeds, cylinders, flat surfaces
and stairs.
SmartDrawing commands are based on points: the points can be measured directly with or
selected directly on screen. For example it’s possible to create a line between an existing point and a
new point to measure.
To access the SmartDrawing functions select the button located bottom left.
The SmartDrawing commands can be stopped with the button Cancel.
