# To add set out positions

Set out positions typically define bolt hole or drill hole locations within a tunnel. They are defined by station and offset values and a method. See Set out position requirements.

Trimble recommends that you define the tunnel template before you key in or import set out positions. If you define set out positions before defining the tunnel template they will be assigned to the first surface defined in the template when the tunnel is stored.

To key in set out position values

1. Tap Set out positions.
2. Tap Add.
3. In the Start station field, specify the start station for the position to be set out.

4. In the End station field, specify the end station for the position to be set out.

   If the set out position is to apply to all stations, leave the End station field empty.

5. Select the Method to define the set out position and then fill out the fields for the selected method as required:

   For each method, the Horizontal offset and Vertical offset values are relative to the alignment. If the alignment has been offset, the offsets are relative to the offset alignment. If the offset is to the left or down, enter a negative value or tap next to the offset field and select Left or Down.

   - For a Blast hole set out position, in the Horizontal offset and Vertical offset fields enter the offset values that define the position to be set out.

   - For a Radial set out position:

     1. Select the Surface that the set out position is relative to.

     2. In the Horizontal offset and Vertical offset fields, enter the offset values that define the position to be set out.

     3. To define a new center offset from the alignment, enter the Horizontal center and Vertical center values.

   - For a Horizontal set out position:

     1. Select the Surface that the set out position is relative to.

     2. In the Vertical offset field, enter the offset value that defines the position to be set out.

     3. In the Direction field, select the direction that the horizontal offset is to be applied.

   - For a Vertical set out position:

     1. Select the Surface that the set out position is relative to.

     2. In the Horizontal offset field, enter the offset value that defines the position to be set out.

     3. In the Direction field, select the direction that the vertical offset is to be applied.

   - For a Multiple radial set out position:

     1. Select the Surface that the set out position is relative to.

     2. Enter the Interval between the radial positions.

   - For a Pipe umbrella set out position:

     1. In the Horizontal offset and Vertical offset fields, enter the offset values from the alignment for the start point.

     2. In the End horizontal offset and End vertical offset fields, enter the offset values from the alignment for the end point.

     3. In the Length field, enter the length from the start station to the end station.

        The Length value is the 2D distance along the alignment, not the true 3D length.

6. If required, specify the Code.

   The annotation entered in the Code field is assigned to the end of the position and is displayed when setting out the position.

7. Tap Store.

8. Continue adding set out positions as required.

9. When you are done, tap Close.

10. Tap Accept.

11. Enter the other tunnel components, or tap Store to store the tunnel definition.

To import set out positions

To import set out positions from a comma‑separated file into the selected tunnel definition, in the Set out positions screen tap Import. Select the file to import and then tap Accept.

For information on the required format for the CSV file, see Set out position requirements.

You cannot import Multiple radial set out points.
