Introduction

The geo-sensor always provides relative coordinate values, which are based on a point zero (0,0,0).

Use the module WinCan Map (2D visualization of pipe courses) to quickly set manholes and connection points at the desired location. The module WinCan 3D (3D visualization of pipe courses) will be used later on to get an additional three-dimensional view of the pipe course as it would look like in reality.

WinCan Map User Settings

General Settings

Similar to WinCan VX, Map is also a global solution, so again there is no one set of settings that works for everyone. To ensure good results in 3D Measurement projects, please pay attention to these settings in File → Settings options:

Also, there is a more user friendly ‘Theme for All’ for the other non-measurement layers:

Setting Up a Project

Launch WinCan VX, create the sections to be inspected and fill out all mandatory (yellow) fields. Next run WinCan Map and you will then automatically be asked for the corresponding projection system (e.g. Switzerland= EPSG:21781 or EPSG:2056; Germany= EPSG:4839 or EPSG:5243 etc.) as well as a DXF­ plot used as a reference layer. The latter one is useful for precisely positioning the manholes:

Keep the Map interface open as it is going to show you the measurement progress in real time.
