Stakeout

The Stakeout command permits the field location of a BIM data set. Surveyors can select elements within the model (e.g. walls, columns, pipes, etc) and the software provides the necessary coordinates to guide the layout and construction of those elements in the real world. The routine begins by launching the standard File Selector that permits one of the following data sources to be specified:

Once a BIM model is loaded, it will display with much of the same interface and functionality as discussed in the Visualize command.
