Hi Lauren, sorry to hear that, glad that the video is helping.

Thanks Mate, I'm glad it was helpful.

+James Cash Thanks James Thanks for commenting im glad you like my videos

Hi Mate, thanks for your comment, I'm glad you like them

Hi Dennis Thanks for the suggestion, I have never seen it done this way but as you say the results should be the same.

Thanks Mate, I'm glad it was helpful!

Buildsum Mine surveying course, part of a mine engineering PDip.

Thanks, Jackie, no problem at all.

+Kiran Dewoo Hi Kiran I'm sure there is however as i don't do a lot of surveying or leveling I'm not aware of any. i only use a spreadsheet type program like excel or Google sheets.

ok thanks

Kiran Dewoo Hi Kiran, For taking levels, I recommend using a field book, as shown in this video, and either use s calculator or as suggested, use a spreadsheet or similar to do your addition/subtraction to determine your relative levels. Surveying is a different matter. Total stations, which have capacity to measure distances and instantly display horizontal bearing, vertical angle from the asmith (horizontal) actual distance from the instrument to the target being measured, and the horizontal and vertical dimensions to that target. The can record all that information, and depending on instrument can display some of it in graphic form on it's screen. they also can interface to a computer and in some cases directly into programs like Auto cad. That is a big step from taking levels and taking some horizontal measurements using a tape measure or stadia wires if the level has them.

Hope it is still helpful.

Thanks, Mate, I'm glad it helps.

Hi, QS student here, probably 3 years late to this but do you mean excel can work it all out for you? if so, how?

@@laurenxox7419 I wasn’t bashing the video at all. Good stuff. Just commenting that the calculations he seemed to be doing on the side as he poked thru what looked like a spreadsheet can be easily calced automatically with simple cell formulas.

@@dave-o3954 no me neither the video has helped a lot, but would really help with my assignment if you could drop the excel formulas👀 thanks :)

manja shara Thanks manja

Thanks Osman You can show the results by drawing using these methods kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5xopa9z2L7UhZs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osuTmbR4tdyqXX0.html

+Alex Mwita Hi Alex thanks for your comments unfortunately i don't know anything about vertical and horizontal curves for road construction so can do a video on that sorry

okay no problem,i have been searching 4 a good tutorial on setting road curve but i haven't found one

Hi Angela, inverted readings are recorded as a negitive on the Level book and calculated as a negitive number, so if you minus a negitive number you are effectively adding it on to the HOC. This video may help kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdWGe5mEyMibh3U.html

Hi Abdul Assuming that HI is Height of Instrument and IS is Intermediate Sight. For a start, the term Height of Collimation is just another term for Height of Instrument so that might help otherwise the HI for the IS is the same as the FS (Foresight) until you get to a change point. With that information and the video, I think I should have covered your question. Hope this helps

thanks Anup, glad you like it.

Hi Ana, sorry I have never done it or seen it done from the bottom up.

Thanks Munashe

David Rouelett Thanks David, Glad I could help

***** No worries, refresh and try again now

Hi I actually like R&F more, no particular reason just my preference.

***** Thanks Wesley I'm glad you like the videos
