You have been making really good videos. Please keep it up!

@JeffLarsen-iz8qk 9 месяцев назад

Thank you very much. I am planning on keeping up with these videos.

Great video

@ericrudd587 9 месяцев назад

I was curious if you have heard any news on when Cat/Trimble are going to release access to use earthworks with the Cat Assist (ease of use) system on nextgen mini excavators? Similar to how it works with mid and large excavators.

@JeffLarsen-iz8qk 8 месяцев назад

I have not. Even though we are a dealer, we don’t always get leads or info on releases until it ready or out to everyone. I do know we can wire up Trimble earthworks on all the smaller machines you mentioned right now after market, but don’t know on factory outfit.

Where are you getting your corrections from? I don't know about correction methods other then a base station, but I've been under the impression that any form of corrections still needs at least 1 control point. Except you made a control point for your calibration?! My head hurts a bit. Can you make a video on understanding correction methods and why/when to use one versus another? If using GPS to set footing corners, are you then hoping the concrete sub fixes any out of square error your GPS layout may introduce? Or can you set tacks with GPS and at 3 locations of a 90 degree triangle equal to the length and width of this house and get pretty close to the actual dimensions? Or you're just getting a dirt crew going in this situation and the surveyor can show up later to set in corners that are tight. In the scenario you show in this video, what's not included is ensuring you meet requirements for distances away from ROW's, easements or property line. How would you make sure that on top of the house being parallel to the curb, that you're also in the correct location and not encroaching on the mentioned other items ROW etc? Teaching a company how to do this type of work without making sure they are correct in location or other things seems risky. Maybe also include the caveat that excluding a surveyor/engineer also means taking on the risk. Most GC's that build residential probably don't carry the correct insurance to cover them digging out a house foundation that ends up encroaching into the ROW, easements or property lines.

These videos are intended to show different ways to use Trimble siteworks for different scenarios. I take no liability on if you do it wrong. In this video I am using a local VRS subscription to get gps corrections which is from a cell tower network. The one point calibration can be done anywhere if you are doing your own layout and are not needing to match an engineer grid system or known location. This video is as if you and the home owner or builder have a general location for the house and there are no ROW issues. My video posting today will show you how to do it with property corners and know ROW points. When I created the first line string from curb and then offset, I then scaled the PDF to that so the measurements are correct. Yes you still over dig the hole and then have a Licensed surveyor or the concrete company come pin the foundation for actual build, this is just an easy process to get the hole dug. Don’t over think it, but always do double checks. Once again this video is just another way to do this same thing 2-3 different ways. These videos are just to get you thinking and think outside the box and use Siteworks for its full potential.

@@JeffLarsen-iz8qk Thanks for your response. I work in commercial civil and construction. My main job description is "overthinker" and it has saved my employer a metric crap ton of $. I can't help it. If you can make a video about corrections methods, and more info on different ways to calibrate and when to use them, that'd be sweet. Also, with the added feature of integrated survey in Siteworks making it possible to shoot in new control with GPS on a calibrated site, during a total station set-up, it would be neat to cover that, and the do's/don'ts of when and why using GPS to add control makes sense or doesn't.

Can the 3-D sewer line be exported to a trackhoe for digging elevations?

@JeffLarsen-iz8qk 9 месяцев назад

Yes sir. If you shoot utility line then you can go to data management and export to machine. In there you can select 3D linework as an export option and send it that way.

@elliotcorwin 9 месяцев назад

To expand on that - when imported to Earthworks, you select as a 3D Polyline, enter a surface width, and in the advanced options you can extend the line from the start and end points of that line so the entire line is contained within your surface boundary. I have drawn all of my basement excavations for about 5 years now, and imported to Earthworks in my 320 and now 323. But I elevate all of my linework to top of foundation, and then use vertical offsets in Earthworks to hit my target elevations. Much easier to dig a flat plane design with vertical offsets so I dont have to fight overcut protection of a 3D design. Great videos by the way.
