Define a laser position, direction and projection distance in relation to a backsight point.
To configure a Paint Lines memo report:
- Open the Memo Reports pane.
- To define the scope and general properties of your report:
- Select the Current Decline, Current Area and Current Level for the report.

- Pick a Development Design String representing the planned development design for the corresponding reporting period.
Note: 3D survey data is added to your system using the Add to Database task.
- To view your 3D data before reporting:
- Load survey or design string data into the primary 3D window by clicking Load the Data into the Project.
- Preview 3D data using InTouch GO by clicking View the data in the previewer.
- Select the Paint Lines tab.
- Select Pick Design Centreline and pick the design string centerline in the 3D view. The design string is highlighted and the following fields are populated from your design string:
Drive name
