  1. This Is exactly what I am looking for, thanks! I input a known dimension with a precision of 4 decimal places for seconds but something is rounding because when I overlay a marker over that same point it is rounding to a whole number of seconds. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change to keep the precision to 4 decimal places? For example when I put in 58.10218 as the seconds in the known point, and place a calculated value over it shows 58 for the seconds with no decimal places. Something is causing the decimal precision in seconds to be lost.
  2. Is there a way to have chief provide longitude and latitude of a point by entering a known point?
  3. I am using a program called swmaps, it exports a GPX file but chief doe not read the file I guess it is track and I need to convert to waypoints. I tried using this site to convert to waypoints which it does and chief imports however somehow during the process the elevations get messed up. When I open the raw files it appears the data is in meters and not feet which I believe is the problem https://www.alltrails.com/converter Anyone know of any good tools to convert GPX files from tracks in meters to a GPX with waypoints in feet?

  13. In an area I am working in they define a half story as a gable, hip, or gambrel roof where two exterior opposite wall plates are not more than three feet above the floor. Client wants a rooftop deck. I've seen a couple homes where it appears they cut out to do this but wanted to get some ideas and opinions on this? My fear is it may be a big problem over time.
  14. I have a terrain that has about a 75' elevation change from road. Is it best for me to make the road 0 and the higher point +75' or 0' the top where it is relatively flat and -75' for the road or does it matter? Don't know if program wise interpolation is faster one way or another? Should terrain elevation data always be on floor 0?
  15. Thanks I didn't realize Chief will only recognize waypoints. It looks like the gpx file exported as track points in SWMaps. Is there a way to convert my track points to way points since it appears Chief only supports waypoints? https://aviyaantech.com/swmaps/index.html
