I am trying to speak 'surveyor' without the background in the data collectors.  We have a new surveyor who uses Terramodel.  I have an LDD parcel database that the surveyor is requesting to be translated to points for stakeout.

I can export the parcels to xml and Terramodel will import them, but it seems to import them as lines.  The Surveyor wants points to be able to do a map check in Terra Model and program the data collector.  I am not seeing a create points from parcel function anywhere from 2004 to 2012.

Am I missing something?  New feature in 2013?  Wish list for 2014?

You can use CreatePointAutomatic to create points from Parcel objects.

 Sounds like another workflow issue to me....Why is your new surveyor using Terramodel? Is he your employee or a subconsultant or?  No need to do extra work if you aren't obligated too just because someone wants it.

With that said, either manaully add the points in LDD on each corner or as the poster above pointed out, you may be able to expedite that process.  Export an Ascii file for the surveyor, any softwrare program in the field or office can use an Ascii file.

Thank you.  That should do it.  Where is this accept as solution button I keep getting e-mailed about?

We will try this solution on the next project.

The surveyor is part time and new.  We haven't had a chance to train him yet, just to look up the next class and apply for training funding.

The parcel box code number is given to you while purchasing, that code you need to give the parcel delivery companies while ordering for parcel. It is sure that the company will not disclose this code to anyone even it assist you to give the code to delivery boy for secure parcel when you are not at home. Realistically, installing a safe or parcel locker is a protected and handy solution to the entire and too familiar problem.Moreover, there are numerous issues to be considered when you buy an online parcel box delivery service.
