Convert Points to Survey from Control after CSV Import

  • 1.  Convert Points to Survey from Control after CSV Import

    Posted 03-11-2021 02:38
    I've had a quick search, but hopefully someone can assist here.

    We received a CSV dataset for a site, with new survey control points.
    We imported the csv via (Import > Import Format Editor) and selecting (P,E,N,elev,Code (Control).

    Having been to site, speaking to the surveyor, and having seen some of the marks, I would like to change some of the control to survey standard (due to capture method, site construction works, etc).

    Anyway, is there a quick method to change a point from showing as control standard to make it a point?

    We've removed it from the control points, but want to change its appearance. 
    I've looked via point spreadsheet, 
    I've changed it via feature code, however it still retains he triangle, as it's still control accuracy.
    it's not an option on the properties - that I can see.

    Any thoughts, or help would be great!
    Guess an option is to remove it from that CSV file

    Cheers,
    Julius

    Hey Julius,

    If you select the dropdown under the point in Project Explorer, select the csv grid coordinate, select the triangle and you can change the quality of the point (see attached image). 

    Let me know if this resolves the issue.

    Thanks Shane.

    That worked perfectly. I had to select the vertical bar icon that says  " Dropdown list of connected data". Then selected Grid, Point, etc.

    Thanks for your help,

    Regards,
    Julius

    this is fine if you only have 1 point to change but when you have multiple points say 50 that takes way to long, there needs to be another way to change them

    if it is a csv, then with the importer you can select if all points are imported as control or (i don t remember if you have the option for survey or unknown quality). so in theory you could split up the csv into two if you need only certain points as control quality. 

    there could be another way to batch select and change them but i have not tried too hard. you can certain batch select a bunch of points and change all their codes at once in the properties so there could be a hidden way to do it.
