This option applies only if you turn off �Stake Station Interval� and move to �fluid� slope staking. So the program instead reports the vertical up to the fill slope above you or down to the cut below you.If you are moving out to the catch point along the ground, you would get a report of �CrtF 1.25� or some such number, and the �Current Fill� amount to the ground would decrease as you approach the catch. In this routine, you can choose sections or templates to stake, and you can pick any point to slope stake fromso any point on the section can become the pivot point. . If the left pavement lane of a road expanded from 10 for a passing lane, from station 1100 to 1200, you can create two templates, Road1 with the 10 lane. If you �round� to an interval, such as 5, then the elevation to stake from is calculated to the rounded station value, as is the up-down station position for the offset.

If the roads have superelevation, the �super� files can be made in Road Utilities. Both offset stakes are optional.The storage of the slope stake points is an option turned on by clicking �Store Point to CRD File�. If your horizontal alignment runs from station 0 to 308, you cant stake station -10, either by interval method (naming the station) or by the non-interval, fluid �where-you-are� method.In live stakeout mode, you will get �Off Centerline� when beyond the range of the horizontal alignment.All paths lead on to the navigation or stakeout (some call it �set out�) screen.When configured for GPS, the navigation screen then appears. You can obtain the position to stake from �Read Instrument�, which calculates the station, offset and pivot elevation from a measured position.
Figure 14-34.-Fillstake (not on centerline). If template transition files are to be used for lane changes, then this file type must be made using external software such as Carlson Civil or Carlson Roads.
The pivot offset is built into these methods based on the �rules� outlined earlier -- you stake from the pivot to cut or fill in templates, and from the extreme left and right points of cross sections. %PDF-1.3 %���� 0000001496 00000 n The Settings icon at the top of the screen, to the left of the checkmark, allows you to place the profile grade at an offset to centerline, such as at the inside edge-of-pavement for divided highways, as shown below:The Section file (which has an �sct� file extension) can be entered in Road Utilities or imported from the LandXML format using Section File Conversion, also in Road Utilities. 0000064666 00000 n 125 0 obj <> endobj
Set stakes (lath) at least 4 feet long, marked “Clearing,” at the offset, marking the limits of the area to be cleared. 0000197822 00000 n Slope stakes are typically used in highway work to locate the toe of slope or top of cut. 0000197426 00000 n In fact, centerlines and profiles can be imported from a variety of file formats using the commands within Road Utilities. Stake Road also has a cross section view option (within the Helmut Help). Section-based slope staking requires selection of a centerline file and field-entry of the cut and fill slopes.Section-based slope staking is useful when the pivot points for stakeout vary unpredictably and dont conform to a fixed template. The program helps find the catch quickly by modeling the surface of the ground with each shot taken. endstream endobj 126 0 obj <> endobj 127 0 obj <> endobj 128 0 obj <>/Font<>>>/Fields[]>> endobj 129 0 obj <>/Font<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text]>>/Rotate 0/TrimBox[0 0 612 792]/Type/Page>> endobj 130 0 obj <> endobj 131 0 obj <> endobj 132 0 obj <> endobj 133 0 obj <>stream
The slope stake report file is a comma-separated �.txt� file, configured in , which might appear as follows if formatted in Excel or another spreadsheet form:Here is another example as viewed in the Edit mode within Job Settings, Stake, Cutsheets, Edit Slope Stake.The columns are configurable with the Slope Stake formatting in Job Settings. It is just as effective for slope staking as a section containing all the break points between pivots.

Where slope treatment is to be provided, clearing normally is staked 10 feet beyond the limits of the slope treatment with 5 feet minimum. The typical answer is yesyou want it for both, and you are ready to stake any station at any interval based on user-entered slopes.

Note that templates can be either single template �.tpl� files or multiple templates with transitions in a Template Series �.tsf� file.
Figure 14-33 shows a cut stake that also happens to be a center-line marker. It literally has the effect of bringing the graphic screen down (see below).
A stake marked means that the stake is offset 35 feet from the centerline stake and that a cut of 1 foot is required to attain the desired final grade. This permits accurate replacement of the slope stake when it is knocked out by construction activity. Or you can enter a point number to obtain a station, offset and pivot elevation. 0000086428 00000 n Thus, the slope stake, placed safely beyond the area of construction, tells the story of the cuts and fills in towards centerline or towards the center of the work.Catch points for both cut and fill are shown in the typical section graphics below.

The Stake Slope command calculates and stakes out the location of the “catch point” where fill slopes or cut slopes contact the original ground. The command will also set offset stakes to the catch point and will produce a report of the slope stake information. 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, etc.). %PDF-1.6 %����
