Having trouble creating a plot

 

Attached is the survey plan and below are the eastern and northern coordinates converted:

 

A            X            -23.36583993833998

               Y            -179.4663239019372

60.929m

 

B            X            -23.36561463518962

               Y            -179.46622613605112

3.449m

 

C            X            -23.365697157839413

               Y            -179.46557255336975

 

78.013m

 

D            X            -23.366417882181768

               Y            -179.46566410758393

69.765m

 

E            X            -23.36633489636694

               Y            -179.4663470185025

80.467m

 

Thank in advance

forgot to mention i'm current using x15

What is the problem?  Those 5 points create a polygon that is over -23m, -179m from the origin (0,0)  If you have the surveyors dxf/dwg file you can import this into chief and all the points in the file will populate in that -23m, -179m location.  

 

Alternately you can import the survey pdf, move it to -23m, -179m and resize it to the reverse of scale and then move it to match up with 5 points. (I usually change the polygon color to red temporarily and insure the pdf is on the last layer behind everything and.lock that pdf layer.)  Now you can manually add all the other elevation points. (Make them another color and it's easier to monitor your progress.)  This isn't as precise but works internally for most uses.

 

If your problem is the house is drawn near 0,0 (far from the polygon coordinates)  There are several courses of action here.   Let us know what you are trying to achieve.

Attached is the survey plan

All you need to do is recreate these points in meters.

1. Place a marker anywhere.
2. Use the transform replicate tool to move the marker using the Absolute Location setting.
3. Enter the values from the survey plan...Easting is X Position and Northing is Y Position. Use the exact numbers followed by 'm' to so Chief knows you want meters. For example: 247879.771m. Press OK.
4. Open the marker again, and repeat that process for point number 2. This time, also select 'Copy'. Press OK.
5. Repeat for all points
6. Draw a polyline connecting the dots.

1. Follow Robert's instructions.  I used "Input Line" versus "Input Point" and you need to ignore Chief's rounding errors that it creates when drawing something so far away from the origin.
2. 
3. To lessen the errors, open a new plan.  Copy the above polygon and pasted it near the origin in the new plan.  then import your pdf and change the CAD layer to RED.
4. 
5. Now resize the PDF 10x and point-to-point moved it to match up the property borders with the red cad box. 
6. 
7. Note I changed the cad layer line weight to 1000 and also locked the PDF layer.
8. Now you can create a terrain and place elevation points and splines that match up with those your plot plan.
9. Note, the house isn't parallel to any of the lot lines.  It is parallel to the front fence line.
10. And here is your local government's GIS site map https://maps.rockhamptonregion.qld.gov.au/HTML5Viewer/?layerTheme=Contours
11. 
12. You can turn off the PDF and paste that image instead.  Resize it to match the red cad box and now you can figure out approximately where all the trees are in relation to the house.
13. .  

I hope this helps.  Again if your surveyor could send you a dxf/dwg file then you could import that and everything will show up in its exact location.  I've added the X15 files for you to play around with.
