Viewing points and lines

Menu: Survey / View Points/Lines

This window operates almost in the same way as the “Enter points / chains” window described above. The notable differences are:

This window provides a complete picture of the points in the Vision database, unlike the "Enter points / chains" window which presents only the stitched points which have not been saved.
It is possible to export all points from the Vision database to LandXML, .DXF or .CSV format.
You can view all data by point and chain groups (the functioning of point and chain groups is described later in the document).

Right-clicking on a point or a selection of points in the list will display more options for managing this point. For a selection of points, the PCode and the line number can be modified. For the current point, an attribute can be added. Editing of a point is possible here; see attached image. The X, Y, Z values of a point can be modified, notes, a series of PCodes and attributes can be added. The “Coordinate stitch XYZ” tool allows you to move the point if its position is unsatisfactory. "Move up" and "Move down" will change the order of a point in a chain (that is, a series of points with the same line number).

It is possible to select a series of points by clicking on a point (the point will be displayed as yellow to indicate the selected state), bu then pressing "Shift" and clicking the final point to be selected. This way, a selection of points may be, for example, deleted or modified.

The search bar on the top right of the table allows the user to search for any point in the table containing the information entered. Entering the same value multiple times will find the following points that contain the search information (if applicable).

The size of the labels for the points on screen may be modified by going to Menu: Settings / View / Point labels and changing the main screen text size.

Any changes made to the points in this function must be saved. Points in the table can be saved in the database and exported as CSV, DXF or LandXML format. An alignment can also be made with any polyline by clicking on “Create alignment” and saving the desired line number as an alignment. The newly created alignment it will be accessible with the Menu: Survey / Alignment or in the alignment section of the Civil module.
