16.1 Introduction

A set of commands is described in this section that allow one to solve most setting out needs that may arise from the viewpoint of ground plan alignments.

Setting Out Methods

The program allows one to set out using two different methods, depending on the results supplied:

Polar

This method simply consists of calculating the azimuth and the distance between the positioning control point and the point to be set out.

Bisection According to Coordinates

This method uses both the base and the reference stations for the calculation. The azimuth and the distance are shown for both of them.

Reciprocal Zero Bisection

This method uses both the base and the reference stations for the calculation. The azimuth shown for each of them is calculated after having previously oriented one station in relation to the other.
