Training videos for the Leica iCON software and hardware range. This includes robotic total stations, gps, CAD functionality and machine control solutions.
Hello, May I ask you a question, I'm interested of using Layout Objects application (import IFC files) , but I'm little confused. Do I need to buy both CC80 tablet + ICON ICR80 total station to be able to use the application, or ICON ICR80 only will be enough? Thank you,
hi, can i ask for help how to fix this error?check the coordinate order settings. The settings for coordinates order differs between display unit settings and recent import settings. Please check the details for the file.Thanks,
Hey and thanks for the good video. A question? When I start op the icon and wants to stake out the project, the screen starts in zoom way out. Is there a way to get it to start op in a closer position to where I am? Thanks Mark
good video and great sequence of information; however you sound British, or European with your accent and as an American and somewhat decent land field surveyor,,,i really, rally think your video would be, reviewed , as much much better is you did not speak so fast. and leave out the trivial , stick to the tech detail and process and insert some pauses in between with also maybe some recall or repeat of stuff and say something like , ",,, ,, remember or as i previously said,,,," .Thanks !!
Seeing as he used Ireland as his coordinate system, I'd say hes probably in Ireland. I appreciate his help. You can always slow the video down using the settings. Try 0.75x speed. Dont forget you can rewind infinitely
Hi, Thanks for the quick and esasy to understand presentation. What we all need to connect all strings correct is to match all codes we're using on the field. It's not working as on Leica captivate. When I start new LINE, I choose the code, for example Kerb Top KT, and ICON is not offering me suffixes, so the KT is always KT, what I need is KT1...KT1...KT1 END LINE, and for the next line will be KT2...KT2...etc. How to fix that? If I choose the name to be my code, the numbers are always changing, so I can't keep the same name I need? If I start KT1 and save the point, the next will automatically change to KT2, so in my Civil 3D the figure will not be connected. I assume this is a big problem, and I don't know how to solve it! Please help with this?
Can you use this to get the volume that was removed from an large excavation?Say you want to know how much you need to fill back into an area from the level at the top of an excavation?
Good videos man. Ive had trouble when saving control points to a specific file within a job. One scenario was i came to a job and an external company had set up the original control, i wanted to spread new control and they were auto saving into the external companies file on the logger. Is there a way to set up new control files on the logger and then how do you shoot new control knowing they will save to a different specified file?
Love your videos mate! Very useful! How do you find is the best way to create models for digging footings or drainage runs? I'm currently having to create road lines for each line which is abit tedious in iCon Office.. Thanks
Hi Jake, glad your finding them useful..👍 We will be adding more so keep an eye out in the near future, also any suggestions would be great.. To answer your question, I suppose it depends on the size of the drawing and how much line work you have. If there's not much line work it makes sense to just create road lines as your doing as this will give you height and position to line, but if its quite big this is what i would do. Assuming you have a 3D .dxf of the job you could create a .trm of the complete drawing, which will give you your heights on the iCON3D MC system, use the original .dxf as a help model on iCON3D to show you line work and also export a .geo from iCON office of the original .dxf which will allow you to select any line for position on iCON3D.. Let me know if you need any more help, i have a video up on how to select .geo as guidelines.. Thanks Jake
@@LevellingEquipmentServicesLtd Thanks for the reply! It's good to see someone else who is into the world of MC! I think that's a good way of doing things, I'm definitely going to try and look into .geo files for line selection..I'll take a look at your video again too about linework. It would be extremely handy if I could get the iCon simulator working on my laptop.. apparently it doesn't like some windows 10 systems. I'm guessing your running your simulator on Virtual box? If you are, how are you able to sync usb data into it? With the MC1 simulator I can drag and drop into a folder which loads it up fine, but with iCON simulator being a .ova file I'm struggling to bring in my own data to do trials with. Thanks again for the reply, much appreciated Jake
Ah okay I spoke to soon. I have just installed another .ova simulator for iCon and I seem to be up and running now! Finally.. again when I go to USB sync, it says no usb drive found. Now I'm assuming it has something to do with it being a virtual machine so do I have to drag and drop into a folder like on MC1 or can I sync directly in the USB Sync option?
Ok, I managed to add the virtual USB drive and can now sync! For anyone like me who is new to this, I added it by going to in VirtualBox; Machine>Settings>USB>Top little usb icon (blue) on the right hand side>Sorted *I did this with my data stick in the laptop* Thanks
