Shoot your bench, mark the BLACK LINE on the rod. Every reading in the app is inches UP or DOWN from that line β same as the Grade Shot Ledger.
Type any plan number (grade, rim, invert, TW/BW). Get the rod move from your black line.
YOU SET THE CORNERS. No pre-set letters. Tap any corner on the plan (building, wall, walk β anything) β the tap locks onto the EXACT plan coordinate β then hit MAKE THIS CORNER A. Letters run A, B, Cβ¦ in the order you make them and never change. Tap a square again β REMOVE β or use LIST β MY POINTS β β. Set at least two and every pull works off YOUR points.
1 Β· TAP anything β light, drain, wall corner, purple grade. The card says which two corners to pull from and the two tape numbers. Where the tapes cross is the mark. Pulls stay under 100' (under 90' when possible) with a good crossing angle; the map draws both pull lines.
2 Β· FAR STUFF: drop one of your own points out there (stake + ribbon it) β its card shows the setting tapes from your other points, and then everything far pulls from it.
3 Β· GRADES: pick your zero (122.9 floor / 126.6 hot top / custom), shoot the bench, mark the black line. Cards + ROD button give inches UP/DOWN from the line. Subgrade chips (β6β³ β8β³ β12β³β¦) for gravel checks.
4 Β· GRADE EVERYWHERE: tap ANYTHING β light, walk edge, wall corner β and you get the rod move. If the plan has no number right there, the app figures it (marked β) from the nearest plan grades and shows which ones it used. Tap a material chip (CONC β12β³, ASPH β15β³β¦) for TOP OF BASE and BOTTOM OF EX rod moves. βοΈ edits your thicknesses.
5 Β· TOOLS: π MEASURE point-to-point. βοΈ PEN freehand (one finger draws, two zoom). π NOTE drops text. π AREA taps around a shape β CLOSE β square feet; tap the area after for edge footage and DIG-OUT CUBIC YARDS at any depth. β MOVE drags notes and SF labels out of the way. Drawings SAVE between opens.
