Point Data - WorksOS

  • 1.  Point Data - WorksOS

    I put this on the Works OS community with no luck, so if anyone can clarify how, and or what we are exactly getting on the data outputs, that would be appreciated.


    When exporting data from WorksOS, can I get some clarification on the point data I am seeing.
    Are the points we extract for say (lowest pass) the centre of the bucket, the left / right side / both positions?


    (If I look at the attached screen grab) there are a number of points from the excavators lowest pass. 
    The bucket on the excavator has a width to it, but we don't get a dual point location output. Therefore I assume we get a cleaned output based on the filter, and a background coded clearout of extraneous data?

    i.e. in some trenching operations, I have seen a single point lowest pass location. (This effectively gives me a width of zero. I know that the bucket was 600mm wide, 900mm wide, etc, so any outputs from that single point aren't a true reflection on the bucket width) and hence overall volume would be reduced.

    If anyone can shed some light on this it would be appreciated.

    Kind Regards,
    Julius

    Dan / Trimble mentioned (and it's logical), that this will be related to what the bucket position is at the time of recording.

    So, when processing, (and depending on the size of work / project, it's critical to know what you are outputting as the asbuilt (and associated notes / volumes / positions) need to reflect what you are actually showing in your data.

    Thanks,

    And FYI -additional note added to the WorksOS community from Trimble - going into the finer details
