General description
Given:
• Instrument is connected and set up with known station and height.
• Points/lines/arcs are available in the current job. Refer to Importing data to the project step-by-step.
➜ Note that main workflow refers to Total Station. For GNSS press Measure to record a point.
Stake out/Layout Lines step-by-step
Stake out/Layout Lines
➜ Sample screenshots are taken from iCON build > Layout Lines app.
- Open the Stakeout/Layout Lines app.
Define or select the line to be staked out/laid out by tapping the relevant elements.
➜ To change the direction of the line, select flip
from the Toolbox.- Once the line is defined, press Start and follow the guidance to navigate the target to points on the selected line.
- Once the target is within tolerance, it changes colour to green. Press Store and mark the staked/laid out position (in the field).
- This process can repeat along the same line. To stake another line, tap the preferred line, and continue the process.
➜ Define Measure Mode in the Status 1 menu.
➜ GNSS and Robotic Total Station approach: As the target moves around, real-time measurement data and guidance information is constantly displayed in the Information bar. Once the point in the screen turns green, the point is staked within tolerance. To record points using the Total Station, press Store. If using GNSS, press Measure.
➜ If a polyline is selected for stakeout/layout, it is only possible to stakeout points between start and end point of the polyline.
Stake out/Layout Vertical Lines
- To select a vertical line for stakout/layout, rotate the view.
- Select the vertical line and tap Start.
Follow the guidance given by the values in the Information bar:
•
shows the value by which the target needs to be moved towards the vertical line until within tolerance.
•
shows the current value of the target along the vertical line, as seen from the start point of the line.
➜ To change the direction of the line, select flip
from the Toolbox - Move the target towards the line until
is within tolerance. 
- Move the target along the line towards the desired height value. Then press Store.
Stake out/Layout Arcs step-by-step
➜ Sample screenshots are taken from iCON site > Stakeout app.
- Open the Stakeout/Layout Lines app.
- Define or select the arc to be staked out/laid out by tapping the relevant elements.
➜ To change the direction of the arc, select flip 
from the Toolbox. - Once the arc is defined, press Start and follow the guidance to navigate the target to points on the selected arc.
- Once the target is within tolerance, it changes colour to green. Press Store and mark the staked/laid out position (in the field).
- Repeat this process along the same arc or its outline. To stake another arc, tap the preferred arc and continue the process.
➜ Define Measure Mode in the Status 1 menu.
➜ GNSS and Robotic Total Station approach: As the target moves around, real-time measurement data and guidance information is constantly displayed in the Information bar. Once the point in the screen turns green, the point is staked within tolerance. To record points using the Total Station, press Store. If using GNSS, press Measure.
Stake out/Layout Arcs with a different height for start and end point
- ➜ Swich to 3D View and rotate the view for a better visualisation.
Select the vertical line and tap Start.
Follow the guidance given by the values in the Information bar. Again the system guides you to the nearest possible point on the arc.
•
show the vertical value by which the target is yet below or above the point on the arc or its outline.
•
shows the 2D value along the selected arc or its outline, as seen from the start point of the arc.
•
shows the 2D value by which the target needs to be moved towards the selected arc or its outline until within tolerance. - Move the target towards the arc or its outline until
is within tolerance. 
- Move the target in vertical direction until the height value is as well within tolerance. Then press Store.
- Repeat this process to stake out/lay out further points on the selected arc or its outline.
Use Divide & Offset step-by-step
The toolbox function Divide & Offset allows you to divide a line or arc into segments. Based on a defined interval or number of segments, the function automatically creates segment points that can be staked out/laid out. These segment points can also be offset in one step.
If desired, you can add the created segment points to an existing or a new stakeout list.
- Open the Stakeout app.
➜ Divide & Offset is also available in:
- Roading optional license
- Layout Objects optional license
- Select Divide & Offset from the Toolbox.
- Tap a line/arc to select it for Divide & Offset.
- Enter a number of segments
into which the selected line/arc shall be divided, or the length 
that a single segment shall have.
➜ Both edit fields are interdependent. If you enter a value for one of the fields, the value of the other will be updated accordingly.
• The values entered for start and end point define whether the whole line/arc or only a part of it is divided into segments. If necessary, change the values of the start and end point.
•To change the direction of the line/arc, select Flip
from the Toolbox. - Tap the Offset button, to define a horizontal and/or a vertical offset for the selected line/arc.
- Tap the Break Points button, to create so called “break points” in addition to the segment points.
• To assign a code to the created segment/break points tap the Code button. For information on codes and coding, refer to: 8.1.1 Code Management
• To switch the horizontal offset value from positive to negative, tap .
- Tap
to store the created segment and break points. The line that has been created together with the break points gets stored as well.
- • To add the created points to a new stakeout list, enter a name and tap
.
• To add the created points to an existing stakeout list, tap the respective row in the list.
A message is displayed, informing about the number of points added to a new or existing stakeout list. - Tap OK to return to map view.
