Those fixed positions would need to be calculated, by something. Errors do occur which are better distributed about the loops. Most none surveying software doesn't really do this. There is a data type that is for theodolite, however it is for a data type where all distances are horizontal, which appears to be for really old theodolites.
Theodolites are not really set up for doing traverses, for a loop of a few hundred metres we have an mis-closure of about 1m. I would be disappointed if I was using a disto X. It seems to be par for the course. The show cave owners paid for a traverse when they where tunnelling. They claimed millimetre accuracy however were metres out. Lead to a bit of an arguement between the caver surveyors and the paid surveyors about Which direction to dig the tunnel. It was resolved when the tunnel broke through. Luckily the tunnelers listen to the cavers. đ Andrew On 14 December 2020 18:47:11 GMT, Martin Sluka via Therion <[email protected]> wrote: >Nor Survex, nor Therion support theodolite, as I know.
