Introduction
For outdoor surveys, survey points are grouped into point groups. Point groups are indicated with a red-dotted box and utilize both indoor and outdoor location data. The location of survey points can be edited by moving the point group.

Moving the location of the points groups (Outdoor survey)
- Click the point on the plan (Google Maps) to select the point group.
The selected point group will be indicated with a red-dotted box. - Move the point group;
- Click and drag the center handle of the box to move the point group.
- Click and drag the top handle of the box to rotate the point group.
- Click [Save] to apply the change.
Note:
Points that are less than 25m apart are automatically grouped into one point group.
Adjusting the individual points (Outdoor survey)
In the rare case that each point is only a few meters apart, finer adjustments can be made on the viewer side (located on the right half of the screen).
- Select the point on the plan (Google Maps) to find the point you need to adjust in the viewer (right half of the screen).
Tip: On the viewer side, all points are numbered. Remember the number of points you want to adjust.
- Click and drag the hotspot of the point (indicated by a white circle) in the viewer and check the corresponding location on the plan (Google Maps).
- Repeat step 2 until all the points are adjusted as needed.
- Move the point group;
- Click and drag the center handle of the box to move the point group.
- Click and drag the top handle of the box to rotate the point group.
- Click [Save] to apply the changes.
Note: The red-colored point is the master point which contains the most accurate outdoor location data. Moving the master point in the viewer will move all other points except the master point on the plan (Google Maps). This is useful for editing surveys where the location of all the other points need to be adjusted simultaneously in relation to a fixed master point (ex. Outdoor survey of a tunnel, etc.)
