• Tabulate data
• Retrospectively attribute codes to points or re-code points
• Annotate levels
• Set up code tables
• Transform local coordinates into OS and vice versa

• Import images
• Select points from an electronic file and export them to a setting out schedule
• Create a contoured plan
• Compare volumes between subsequent surveys
• Retrospectively insert or edit break lines
• Carry out visual checks on 3D models
• Render slab levels and create a ‘heat map’ or report of as-built Vs design levels
• Select layers to isolate the relevant information
• Check and convert units
• Import data into the total station including strings, polylines and design surfaces
• Describe the potential technical and contractual pitfalls of working with electronic information as opposed to hard copy drawings
