11.10.4 Subapplication Setout
Description The setout subapplication calculates the difference between a measured point and the calculated point.
The reference arc application supports four ways to set out:
Set out point To set out a point by entering a line and an offset value.
Set out arc To set out a series of equidistant points along the arc.
Set out chord To set out a series of equidistant chords along the arc.
Set out angle To set out a series of points along the arc defined by the angle segments from the center point of the arc.
Access 1) Press SETOUT from the REFERENCE ARC screen.
2) Select one of the four methods of set out available.
Set out point, arc, chord
or angle
Enter the set out values. Press PrevPt/NextPt to toggle through the calculated set out points.

Field Description
Distrib. For set out arc: Method of misclosure distribution. If the entered arc length is not an
integer of the whole arc, there will be a misclosure.
None All of the misclosure will be added to the last arc-section.
Equal The misclosure will be equally distributed between all sections.
Start Arc All of the misclosure will be added to the first arc-section.
Start/End The misclosure will be added half to the first arc-section and half to the
last arc-section.
Arc Length For set out arc: The length of the arc-segment to set out.
Chord Length For set out chord: The length of the chord to set out.
