SiteWorx/OS

What are control points used for?

Control points link the drawing to real-world coordinates. With at least one (preferably two) control points defined, you can export the takeoff as a DWG, export GPS surface model points to a CSV file for machine control, or import GPS points back in. Two points define both scaling and rotation; one point requires the North/South direction to be defined explicitly.
