Point

The point list displays all points in the surveying application layer, regardless of point status.

Column Description
PointID The point's ID
Theme The point's theme
North Northern coordinate value (X in Norway)
East Eastern coordinate value (Y in Norway)
Height Orthometric height (the point's distance from the geoid, measured along the plumb line)
Status The status of the point. See the overview of different point statuses below.
Shared status The shared status of the point. See the overview of different point statuses below.
Std. X Calculated standard deviation
Std. Y Calculated standard deviation
Accuracy Calculated planimetric accuracy
Accuracy Height Calculated height accuracy
Geoid height Ellipsoidal height minus orthometric height (normally calculated from a geoid model)
Plumb-north The point's northern plumb deviation (the plumb line's northern tilt from the ellipsoid normal)
Plumb-east The point's eastern plumb deviation (the plumb line's eastern tilt from the ellipsoid normal)

Point Status

Known point

Adjustment point

Detail point

A known point is a station or target point with known coordinates in all dimensions. An adjustment point is a station point without known coordinates in all dimensions. A detail point is a target point without known coordinates in all dimensions.

There are variants of these with shared status, as shown below.

Shared Point Status

Known point – known coordinates in XYH

Known point – known coordinates in XY

Adjustment point – known coordinates in XY, unknown in H

Adjustment point – unknown coordinates in XY, known in H

Adjustment point – unknown coordinates in XYH

Adjustment point – unknown coordinates in XY
