Theodolite 4 - Vertical and Horizontal measurement 

Dave sir you are explaining nice its is easy to understand us. thank you for your couching.

It would be nice if you gave more of an integrated application. The angle between two pegs seems to be of no use unless your know the distance from the Theodolite plumb to one of the pegs.

Hi david. thanks for excelent tutorial you running,,, very clear explainations , i very much appreciate ,,, please tell us why do we need to know the horozontal and vertival angle of a building ? to determine whats ?

what keys should I press exactly on the screen?? I found difficulty to remember them

I often wonder what these instruments are, as I often see them when I’m out and about. Now I know. Thanks for the post. I’m currently reading a book ‘Cold’ by Ranulph Fiennes, and he’s mentioned Theodolite a few times. I suppose his is a much portable unit, as he uses it on a boat, with rough weather.

Hi,nice tutorial. Can you add all calculations of distances and angles in detail . Thanks

So nice ...thanks

exactly what I want

the displayed vertical angle is not actually the vertical angle between the bottom and top of the structure.

Thanks a million sir. But i have already measured horizontal angle and vertical angle with a horiontal distance and elevation; how can i generate a contour map (topo map of that area) and coordinates????????????????????

i was used to theodolites with the vertical angle starting at zero at the horizon with positive angle of inclination and negative angle of depression. our new theodolite starts at 90 degrees which highly annoys me. i am looking for videos to help me to revise the settings but i just found out right now that you guys also use 90 degrees as starter!

I really hope you will answer my question so here goes. Say you are surveying a area with a instrument much like the one in the video but it has no built in compass, how do you determine true north? As with many Berger type transits which measure great but have no compass yet surveyors used them all the time years back.

Thanks

what about grading?

So the angle of elevation (called 'vertical" in the video) as marked in green at 0:32 should be 90 - 83 (rounded) = 7 degrees. Right?

Very useful

How does the 'scan' actually work?

sir can you please tell horizontal Distance how to calculate any formula sir
