Efficient Ordering of Deliverables: A Step-by-Step Guide

This article will walk you through the process of ordering ROCK Planimetrics and ROCK Surveyor with breaklines in different areas of interest, ensuring that your project runs smoothly.



When dealing with complex datasets, it's crucial to identify and outline the specific areas for each type of deliverable. Certain areas in the dataset require both  ROCK Planimetrics and ROCK Surveyor, while others may only need one type of deliverable.

Outlining Areas for Processing


Jamie begins by outlining the areas needed for each deliverable:

1. Area for Planimetrics Only: Identify regions that require only planimetrics.
2. Area for Breaklines and Planimetrics: Mark areas that need both breaklines and planimetrics.
3. Area for Breaklines Only: Outline regions where only breaklines are required.

Each area is carefully marked to ensure precision in processing.

Saving and Ordering Deliverables


1. Save the Outlined Areas: Once the areas are outlined, save the data. For example, Jamie titles the area "Area for Breaklines 3" and saves it to lock in the configuration.

2. Select and Process Areas:
   - Rock Surveyor: Jamie processes only the areas designated for breaklines. This involves selecting specific areas and ensuring that enhanced processing options are enabled.
   - Adjusting Area Sizes: If an area is too small for enhanced processing, Jamie demonstrates how to adjust the edges to meet the required size. This ensures that the area qualifies for enhanced processing, which improves the accuracy of the data collected.

3. Order Rock Surveyor:
   - Jamie sets the contour intervals and enables high vegetation and building classification as required. 
   - The system calculates the total area based on the selected regions and provides options for standard or expedited delivery. Notes about the project can also be added.

Ordering Planimetrics


1. Deselect Unnecessary Areas: Before processing planimetrics, ensure that areas meant for ROCK surveyor are deselected to avoid overlap.
2. Turn on Enhanced Processing: Ensure that enhanced processing is enabled for the relevant areas. Jamie demonstrates this by adjusting the areas and ensuring they are above half an acre in size.
3. Save and Process: Save the changes and proceed to process only the selected areas for planimetrics. Reviews the process to confirm that only the required  acres are processed, rather than the total  acres.

Finalizing the Order


Once everything is set:

- Review the order and add any additional notes about the project.
- Confirm the privacy policy and terms of service.
- Place the order and start the processing.

Conclusion


 This video and accompanying article highlights the importance of precision and efficiency in ordering complex deliverables. By carefully outlining areas, adjusting sizes, and ensuring correct processing options, you can streamline the ordering process for both  ROCK Planimetrics and ROCK Surveyor Following these steps will help you achieve accurate and timely results for your data processing needs.
