New Surface Layers

New Surfaces are composed of several layers. The example below shows the available Surface Layers. A brief explanation about the layers is found below.

 

 

Data Lines

 

Data Lines contain all the lines, points and labels. Data contained within this layer is used to generate the 3D surface.

Annotation

 

This layer is used to add reference line data that is not included in the surface trimesh calculation.

Perimeters

 

Perimeters may be added to all new surfaces to define the area to be calculated.

Survey Data

 

This is temporary data used with the Apply Survey command to stage the Survey Data to the Data Lines layer.

Stage Areas

 

Data used to update the surface using Stage Over-Ex from the Over-Ex Guide. Once the data has been staged, the Stage Areas layer become empty.

Benchmarks

 

Contains any control points (Benchmarks) specified. These points are often used for re-scaling with grading plans or with AGTEK's Graphic Grade program

Profile Lines

 

Used to create profiles and cross sections across the job.

Contours

 

The Layer in which contours are created when using the Contour Surface command.

Cut/Fill Labels

 

These are spots entered to be used in conjunction with the User Cut-Fill Locations located under the View Menu in Planview Mode.

Highway Data

 

This layer contains any data generated by Highway mode.

Cut/Fill Lines

 

This layer contains any lines generated using the Cut/Fill Lines option.

Pipe Lines

 

The Pipe Lines layer contains any data entered as a Pipe Line in the file.

Documentation

 

Contains user added Notes or 3D Notes entered in Sitework 4D or Notes and Photos imported from SmartPlan.
