ProSoft
will be presenting at the following two classes:
Class Title: Going from “Field to Finish” with
Autodesk Civil 3D
Presenter: Shawn Herring and Jason Jenkins
Organization: ProSoft
What
is Field to Finish?
The ability to download field
collected survey data and automatically “draw” an intelligent base map is
called “field to finish”. Field to finish methods typically result in the
automatic creation of: points, point symbols, point labels, topographic feature
lines, and general descriptive line work.
The techniques for good field to finish are easy to
implement with knowledgeable use of hardware and software throughout the data
collection, download, and reduction process.
The field to finish process includes these steps:
·
Mission pre-planning
·
Using consistent point
descriptions
·
Adding linework connectivity
commands
·
Applying description code
keys
·
Applying figure prefixes
·
Download into a pre-set
drawing environment
Key Learning Objective
·
Linework codeset setup
·
Figure prefix database setup
·
Figure collection techniques
·
Figure creation
·
Figure editing
Class Title: Machine Control Grading and BIM
Presenter: Shawn Herring
Organization: ProSoft
Machine Control Grading and BIM
GPS Machine Control is the use of the Global Positioning System
technology for earthwork machine guidance. It is so prevalent today that
an estimated 85% of all new heavy construction equipment comes equipped for GPS
machine guidance.
GPS Machine Control Grading utilizes robotic and GPS
surveying techiniques by mounting equipment directly on the earthwork equipment
that is used during construction. Because of the accuracy and substantial
labor savings it is quickly becoming the standard in construction. The
process of grading is much quicker, it can be accomplished by one operator, is
more agile to accept changes, increase grading accuracy and gets workers out of
harm’s way!!
The resulting accuracy leads to a reduction of mistakes and
change orders. Leading contractors report a reduction of 70% in change
orders and fewer field accidents involving heavy machinery.
