Marks

This is a series of three videos recorded by one of our cadastral surveyors. The first two videos are designed to give you an overview of the Marks functionality in new Landonline - Survey. The third video covers things to consider when linking and unlinking marks.

To view a mark, use the Marks panel.

How to filter the marks displayed on the spatial view using the Layers menu in the Tools control toolbar.

Captured marks in your survey, already represented in Landonline, must be associated with the existing Landonline mark where they are proven reliable. This association is called linking.

You can manually link captured marks to existing Landonline marks.

You can automatically link captured marks to existing Landonline marks.

Where multiple existing marks are located in close proximity, it may be easier to link captured marks by using Node IDs instead of trying to select the corresponding marks using the mouse.

In the Spatial Display you can add a placeholder to force the spatial location of a captured mark to a new location relative to the existing Landonline data. This creates a visible mark that acts like an underlying mark you can link to.

You can unlink marks in two ways by using the:

Marks panel Spatial view (map).

Both methods remove the link between the marks.

To edit a mark, from the marks panel, double left click on the field you want to edit, then make any changes. Your changes are automatically saved.

A mark can be deleted by using the Marks panel or Spatial view.

To add a new mark, select the + Add mark button, located on the bottom left-hand side of the Marks panel.

A new mark will be added to the bottom of the Marks panel and will auto-populate with details from the last mark in the panel.

New Landonline allows details of geodetic marks to be editable.

Use this process to record details of a disturbed mark that has previously been recorded in Landonline as reliable.

Use this process to record details of a disturbed mark where there is no corresponding node to link to in Landonline.

You can record details of a renewed or reinstated mark that already exists in Landonline. You record these in the Marks panel.

When you find a mark that’s not recorded in an approved dataset, treat it as a new survey mark.

When you link parcels spatially you must assess when to include missed marks in your survey.
