ROFL. I have yet to INSTALL the software and just have the quick thing done by the cloud. gpsreport.pdf - Google Drive that is the quality report from "half" project. uploading the full version instead of the quick to see what- if anything- is different. i am at work and have like 5...

ya ya, worse comes to worse, we'll just use my old phone at least initially

mme app is ios only :/

showed my boss my initial half "quick view" you get from pix3d cloud process flyover of my house's topo in 3d,... even that quick half processed., it had the slope of my yard represented well, the 3' retaining wall in my & my neighbor's yard, could even see the 6" curb line bump up from the...

Nice.. glad it was a hit. Properly used, drones are fine to be around.

We'll see. Some of the stuff I have come up with in cad for scaling images to my boss is magic. I can take pdf's get them to 1 scale in cad to copy features, I can and do take Google map images and get them to within an inch. And that is me just using cad and known distances between buildings...

looking at your plots and what few i have done, if i can get the appropriate scale factor in to make it right on known distances i should be able to get a better topo than my field guys do- mostly due to spacing of shots typically a topo does- major features of sites, ledge outcrops, trees etc...

Nad83 is horizontal datum. The grade plane projection setup, each state is based on one of 2 formats. Transverse Mercator and lambert. Most states use transverse mercator. Mass uses lambert, since lambert is better for areas that are more east west than north south. Using the GPS from the...

heh difference in Datums NAVD88 elevation ZERO (0) is 6.456' city of boston base... city of boston elevation 0' is elevation -6.456 navd88 its the same spot elevation just different "benchmark" for example all our surveys we do right now, our very first point is..elevation 100. doesn't...

i am hoping the timing for the trip would facilitate slightly less crowds (ie week days (mon-wed) vs latter part of the week or weekend...

Sure i got drop box and googledrive np i can toss it to you, for control points, we have not surveyed it yet, but the original existing conditions plan(and the official city layout of the streets have offsets to the nearest 100th of a foot to the existing dwellings and elevations for the street)...

Drone supposed to arrive today, boss is willing to give it a shot and if it works the way it should, i'll get 100% reinbursed. even have a new job for it to try on ..in boston-dorchester ave between banton and tilman st. here is google map picture of the site-locus is...the dirt area in the...

nice. drone is in CT right now, so might get it tomorrow sat or monday...

told my boss (he went away) i got the drone and he went hmm so for now, i'm on the hook for the price- at least until i prove it will work. reading the tutorial now for pix4dmapper. pretty much everything we are going to do is going to be 3d. (using to get the topography of the ground.

hey band what angle should i set the drone to take pictures at 45 degrees? (still have not gotten it, but from seeing your pictures from above and other "this is where we took pictures at" it looked to be 45) default is straight down. and damn the pix4mapper drone app looks EASY to use, i...

i'd do the rv thing, and there is a rental place in my city, but the rates are atrocious. 1200 a week/700miles then 25c every mile after that... i'm doing 9 days so that is 900 miles for "free" 1200+400=1600 for the RV then total trip is 4200 miles more or less so 4200-900=3300x0.25= 825...

i think Lan lives, i forget, his fight was great though D- i am the better swordsman you cannot win L - i didn't say i was going to win, i said i was going to kill you.

So yesterday my wife, as we were getting up, went, "i'd like to show the kids where i went to grad school (Minneapolis/ St Paul area)" and i went, umm ok... we talked for a minute and she went, drive or fly, i went Driving would be cheaper getting there if we just "drove" there (takes about 24...

decent reply btw @ minute 18- the reply: basically the ancient one was a no win situation for casting- use a tibetian- anger china and maybe get it banned there, use a different asian race- racism no matter who was cast, someone was going to be upset so the white andro woman was the...

mike shepards kris longknife series is good. amazon's kindle unlimited has a lot of good sci-fi series that are avail for ~10 bucks a month, i've read more books in the past 3 months since i did unlimited than i had in the previous year.

we would be using this - at least initially- for topography pretty much exclusively. so looking at the phantom 3's there are 4 "versions" standard 4k advanced and professional. i'm thinking advanced...well i ordered an advanced..... i used to fly R/C ages ago...i'm 49 now and stopped...

Good theory. Luciferwas a mid season replacement thus the 12?13? episode first season. Things that came about this past episode: spoiled just in case: wife caught up last night and is upset that she has to wait until Sept to watch the next Season. she loves howLuciferis being played...

boss is being leary about the drone thing, i might just have to buy one - myself - and "prove" that it can cut Days out of our work scheduling when we have to topo larger sites.. i have a perfect one i could fly too - a subdivision project that is almost complete and ready for a final...

also remember nzt also "focus's" "your essence" thus the analytical guy got more ofthat, the one that loved extreme sports got better at that (climbing the building on the episode they stole nzt) the guy with the sharp memory "remembered" a smell etc. artists got more artistic its the...

oh i wantedLuciferto go completely apeshit on detective stache for taking Trixie. loved the finale,Luciferhas some questions to answer though - esp to chloe. i mean Come on, she SEES him get Shot, bleeding out. next thing ~5 minutes later, not a scratch on him "i thought you died"-...

knock it to 1 game & and i would be fine with it. 4 games is way to long for something that more likely than not, he had nothing done to the balls...

OH GOD HERE WE GO AGAIN... after reading everything about inflation, temps etc. i honestly believe the balls werelegalat the start of the game.. i mean when a 7th grader in his science project can show that a football during the time(about 2.5hrs) from when the balls were brought to the field...

Except she dropped out of college(apparently) drinks a lot, hangs out with 35sh Yr woman clubbing, can do Anything at all according to the script, etc. Between season 5 and this season they have messed her character up.

No suicide watch needed. I got limitless and lucifer....

Yah got caught up. Got back from the airport and caught up with the news. Couldn't bring myself to watch castle last night you see the episode I missed. The show was those two- Fillion and Katic together. Ah well.

Beginning of the series, they did more with tamala, then it turned into her basically being given there to say lividity..... I am on vaca, so not sure what has happened this past week. Gotta catch up

boss is interested, but since i am the tech goto guy, it will be up to me to follow up etc on the drone thing- I think it'd be useful, our survey guy, not so much- but that will have to wait a few weeks - vacation tomorrow

oh i know it's not plug and play we'd have to learn the process etc, and refresh on "how to fly an RC" which is why i said ~10 jobs... but if we can fly it and have the "field work" relatively quickly(arrive on site, fly site) finished - based on your comments on how long it took to fly...

heh i just didn't wanna be a pest here... and DAMN much faster than i thought....nice, now to convince the Boss (Dad) to buy one for the "company" muhaha. it would pay for itself in like 10 jobs that we would need it on....

ahh the theories so far are true-good episode last night. per last night's episode:

we use land development desktop 2006 which came with civil 3d pro 2006 since....civil 3d pro 2006SUCKED- we have had no need to upgrade as of yet. i cannot be more emphatic as to how badly it sucked. Boss is intrigued about the drone thing - which is good and bad.

we know of no-one in our area- boston area mostly-that does this sort of thing besides the traditional flyover stuff (which costs ~2 grand per job) looked at that price for the solo and the camera- boss was like.. THAT'S IT?! I went, well the software costs about 4 grand.. but total it...

That topographic representation/3d rendering looks sweet, I have to talk to my boss about getting something like that subcontracted/buy for some of our jobs that are decent sized. We do civil engineering survey etc. Being able to get good topographic data relatively quickly would help immensely...

Well he's nailed the LOOK...now to see if he nails the ROLE...

watched the first episode of phoenix wright on crunchyroll. did not impress. it was Ok but not something i'll be watching
