Figured what the heck after receiving so much help…
I’m in construction layout, so definitely not a ‘surveyor’. But using and understanding surveying equipment is an important part of my role and hence the drive to increase my knowledge in the area. Right now I work on concrete high rises. It’s not for everyone but the views are hard to beat when you near completion.
I don’t know much about survey hardware software but I know quite a bit about AutoCAD. I also do custom LISP and a bit of .NET (helpful for processing points, but I think most survey software does that anyways). Over the last few years I’ve tried out AutoCAD clones in an attempt to save money. If anyone has any questions pertaining to the perils of that adventure ask away; that along with anything mentioned above would be an area where I’d be able to contribute something back towards this community.
Note that the building in the second picture isn’t a project I worked on, but rather of a view from a project I worked on 😉 .
