    Re: Calling all surveyors, I need your opinion on something.

    One idea that you might consider is to create a
    paper map of a site and have the crew mark the shots they think they would need
    to take in the field. Afterwards you can review it and point out what they
    missed and what they could have skipped. It also helps to mark up a cross
    section the same way. At least it gets them thinking about their
    shots.

    I'm in for the communication &
    training!

    when you have crews that have no cad skills
    ... you have to design your workflow in such a manner that they have to revise
    their own work on the paper plan.  Make sure you have all measured
    points & contours on.  Let them take photograps or make a
    little movie on the terrain.  Take 10 miniutes and revise this plan
    togheter with photo's and movie.  You'll learn both in a fast way. 
    You'll be able to make a far better job description for them, they will
    see where they have too little or to many points shot, and both will
    learn from each others problems.

    If you get no better results after some jobs
    then sometingin else must be wrong I think ...

    Good
    point but I'm not confused and do understand there are more ways to look at
    it but I do it the way I described. As mentioned my model and it matters to
    me and it may not matter to the surveyors who Jeff speaks of but he
    obviously thinks it matters or why complain? I think it's still lazy. Glad
    to see a fellow surveyor make a comment though. Mark
