8.2 Remote object height

The Remote Object application allows you to determine heights of inaccessible points,

such as tree heights, the widths of tree tops and trunk diameters, power lines,

passageways, and bridge profiles. It also allows you to set out heights on vertical

objects.

Note – Zset is the Z-coordinate value in this vertical plane direction. You can define the

Z-coordinate for any measuring point (P) when the design value is known or when you

want to define a reference point for other points.

Heights of inaccessible points are determined by measuring SD,V to an accessible

point in the plumb line. Only the angle V is measured to the inaccessible point.

This option enables you to determine tree heights, the widths of tree tops and trunk

diameters, power lines, passageways and bridge profiles, and enables you to set out

heights on vertical objects
