    Scaling Distance Error (Nikon Total Station)

    Thanks for the feedback, IRstuff! I accidentally found another guy in our district that also has surveying experience, and solid control points on his job site. I'll be taking our station out there and shooting his points on Monday so we can directly compare our machines and settings. I...

    Scaling Distance Error (Nikon Total Station)

    Your referring to the prism constant, correct? If so, then yes. The prisms I'm using can either bet set to 0mm or 30mm, I've tried both. And the fact that the error is not constant (it grows with a longer distance) leads me to believe it's not prism related. I also tried prismless (with the...

    Scaling Distance Error (Nikon Total Station)

    Hi everyone! I'm hoping someone can shed some light on an issue I'm having, because I've run out of ideas. I'm a surveyor for a construction company and I've just moved to a new city and I'm attempting to get my current job control points all squared away. Here's my saga: -First day here I...

    Unfold error

    On second thought, I still am a bit confused about how to view the side panels after I convert it to sheet metal (which works just fine, now). http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=3d5eabbf-996e-4acb-ac3c-0d71661db00a&file=sidepanelsgone.png

    Thanks for your help, Cor! For posterity, I solved the problem of the inverted hole curves by turning off the "Recognize holes as wizard holes" option.

    Unfold error

    Huh, I must not have been running the feature recognition properly, because it came a lot closer this time! Two issues: a - Why does it invert the curves on that middle opening, turning them into bulges? b - It doesn't seem to want to unfold the side panels Thanks so much for your help thus...

    Unfold error

    I'm thinking that maybe the issue with that area is that it's bent in the opposite direction to the rest of the bends...perhaps?

    Unfold error

    Ah, yes, that does seem to recognize things nicely (beyond that one bit that I forgot to delete before exporting from AutoCAD). After recognizing all the features, how would I go about unfolding it? It seems that after you do that you can no longer carry out sheet metal functions. Ack, I feel...

    Hmm, I'll give that a go, thanks!

    Unfold error

    Greetings! I don't have a huge amount of experience with SolidWorks, so the answer to this may be simple. I'm attempting to convert an imported AutoCAD model (the top half of a .125 thick, aluminum kiosk). However, there's one radius that it just won't let me select (highlighted in red in the...
