 How to constrain vertical by total station measurement...

I would usually fake in a level loop using the vertical angle from the gun but I'd really like to know how to constrain by just using the measurements imported. If I set a pair with GPS, then set up to tie corners, how do I force TBC to ignore the vertical value so I don't have to stare at this annoying 0.16' vertical bust?


Any help is appreciated. Still trying to migrate from Starnet but encountering little difficulties like this.

Hi Brandon, Great name!

 Without knowing more about your project I am going to take a guess at what will fix your error.

 I bet if you go into your project explorer and look at point 19 you will have a drop down with multiple measurements and coordinate values. Chose the value you want to hold and change the classification to control and the rest to either "Unknown" or disable it all together. Make sure to re-compute the project after you make the changes.
