Surfaces

Use the Stake Surface feature to put grade stakes over a design surface indicating the cut/fill to it. The surface you want to stake out must be in the currently loaded design. There are multiple ways to get a surface into a design:

• From an imported TTM or VCL surface file (this can be created in the Trimble Business Center software).

• By creating a surface design from an existing Siteworks work order with a measured surface that uses measured points and lines. To do this, select Data Management / Surface as Design. Save and export the measured surface of the work order as a design. Then load that exported design as the current design.

1. From the Measurement screen, tap the Home menu and then tap Stake.

2. Select the surface using the list selection icon at the top right of the screen and then in the Surface tab select a stakeout surface.

3. Use the values in the display bar to indicate the current cut/fill of the surface.

4. After tapping Measure, the software creates a Stake marker report. A graphical diagram shows how to put an elevation mark on the stake. The method that the software uses to calculate the elevation mark and cut/fill depends on the stakeout settings in the Home menu / Settings / Stakeout.
