Work Order Viewer Options

Use these options to graphically check the job site and job site design data associated with your work order. They are available in the Work Order Viewer.

Options

Map view

This shows the job site and job site design data that is associated with the work order you are viewing.

Zoom buttons

Click these to scale the view.

Display options

Check and uncheck the boxes to show and hide different types of data.

If needed, click Select All or Unselect All to quickly change the layers that are displayed. For definitions of the data types in check boxes, see the glossary entries for the data types.

Coverage map

See Using coverage maps at the bottom of this topic.

Grade cut/fill - Select this to show the coverage map resulting from a Check Surface Grade operation. The color codes show whether the measured elevation indicates the need for additional cut, additional fill, or if the grade is within tolerance. The shade of the red and blue colors provides an indication of the magnitude of additional cut or fill needed:

  • Reds indicate the need for additional cut to achieve the design elevation
  • Blues indicate the need for additional fill to achieve the design elevation
  • Green indicates that the measured elevation is within tolerance of the design elevation

Elevation - Select this to show the coverage map resulting from a Measure Surface operation. The color codes indicate the relative magnitude of the measured elevation as follows:

  • Darker blue suggests higher elevations, based on the elevation range formed by the lowest and highest measured elevation, with the darkest blue representing the highest measured elevation
  • Lighter blue suggests lower elevations, based on the elevation range formed by the lowest and highest measured elevation. Within the lightest blue representing the lowest measured elevation

Thickness cut/fill - Select this to show the coverage map resulting from a Check Material Thickness operation. The color codes show whether the measured elevation indicates the need for additional cut, additional fill, or if the material thickness is within tolerance of the design thickness. The shade of the red and blue colors provides an indication of the magnitude of additional cut or fill needed:

  • Reds indicate the need for additional cut to achieve the design thickness
  • Blues indicate the need for additional fill to achieve the design thickness
  • Green indicates that the measured elevation demonstrates that the computed material thickness is within tolerance of the design thickness
Layer filter

Click this to display the Layer Filter dialog, and check boxes to control the visibility of design map layers both in the Work Order Viewer and in the design map in SCS.

These layer settings are stored with the work order.

Zooming and panning options

 

Once you have selected the display options, you can zoom and pan. The scale bar in the map view updates when you zoom.

To zoom in or out:

  • Click Zoom In or Zoom Out. Then, you can also roll the mouse wheel up and down to zoom.

To zoom to a window:

  • Click-and-drag to zoom to a window.

To zoom to the extents of the data:

  • Click Zoom Extents.

To pan:

  • Click-and-drag using the mouse wheel.

Using coverage maps:

Coverage maps show how much of a job site's area has been covered in performing specific surface measurements, as well as the status of certain earthmoving operations based on those measurements. The maps show the area divided into grid squares. The size of the squares is set in the Coverage map grid size box in the Work Order Editor. For more detailed coverage maps, set the size of the grid squares small enough that only one or two measurements occupy each square. The coverage map settings let you display coverage for measurements made in performing surface measurements (topo surveys), surface grade checks, and material thickness checks.

For any of the settings, if multiple measurements exist in one square, the worst-case measurement (not the average of the measurements) is used. This helps you locate bad measurements that might need to be deleted. As you zoom out, and the scale of your view gets smaller, each coverage map square might actually represent multiple squares. In this case, the same worst-case measurement rule applies. If there are squares that have no measurements within them, the squares turn gray, indicating that the area still needs to be measured. To determine the area that may need to be measured, zoom in to the grey squares to identify the squares without measurements.
