FAQ: How the Grid Report works
Question:
How does the Grid Report work?
Answer:
The Grid Report is a sampling report which defines a grid of sampling data points along a project’s data and then gives Quality Metrics readings at those points, as you requested. The Grid Report respects all filters.
Example: Below we have a project's Elevation Data.
If a Grid Report is run for that same filtered data set for a (sampling) interval of 5 meters for selected data types, then below is where those sampling data points would be in the project.
The Grid Report can also rotate the grid depending on the shape of the project data, i.e., a long, linear roading type project or a squarish building foundation project. The Grid Report can be rotated by degrees (azimuth) or by another fixed location. Below is the same project data with 5 intervals but with a Grid azimuth rotation of 45 degrees.
FAQ: How the Station & Offset Report works
Question:
How does the Station & Offset Report work?
Answer:
The Station & Offset Report is a sampling report that uses an alignment (imported .SVL file) centerline to determine a linear segment of a (typically roading) project to sample Quality Metric data for, as you request. The Station & Offset Report respects all filters.
Example: Below is a project's Elevation Data with an Alignment File (red line) present.
If a Station & Offset Report is run for this Alignment File with a Stationage range of the first 100 m, a (sampling) cross-section interval of 10 m and Offsets of 5 m left and right of the centerline, then below are the sampling points for that report.
Note: Samples also taken on the centerline of the alignment, so the report would give 3 series of sampling left, right and center (as pictured).
