In this exercise, you will create a group of points to be used in building a surface that includes points from the day-two survey, but excludes points such as benchmarks and temporary turning points.

  1. On the Points menu, click Point Management Point Group Manager to display the Point Group Manager dialog box.

    Some existing point groups are displayed in the left-hand pane of the Point Group Manager dialog box.

    You will now create a new point group by copying an existing point group and then excluding selected points.

  2. Right-click the point group named DAY2 and select Copy Point Group to display the Create Point Group dialog box.

  3. Enter DAY2-DTM for the Group Name and then click the Exclude tab.

  4. Select the With Raw Desc Matching check box.

  5. Enter 92,93,94,95,96 for the Description.

  6. Click Apply to exclude the specified points from the point group.

    The Point List is updated to reflect the excluded points.

  7. Click OK to return to the Point Group Manager dialog box.

The new point group is displayed with the existing point groups and the point list information is displayed in the right pane of the Point Group Manager dialog box.
