Moving Your Control Point

Hi there - here’s the latest from To the Point!

Until recently, it wasn't possible to move your control point after starting a project, you would have to create a new project and start over. Now, you can move your control point while keeping your existing points, PDF placement, shapes, and other project work intact.

One important thing to keep in mind: You’ll need access to your original control point to localize your project before moving it. Be sure to complete this process before your original control point is disturbed or destroyed.

Sharing a Project with a Team Member

Hi there - here’s the latest from To the Point!

Recently, I spent some time with a customer who was using SitePoint to lay out a large garage. While teaching one of his employees how to use the system, a question came up:

“How do I share this job with him so he can stake out the corners of the garage and spray paint?”

It’s a great question, and one that comes up anytime more than one person needs to work from the same project.

This week’s tip: Sharing a project with a team member
There may be times when another member of your crew needs access to a project or needs to continue working from their own device. Sharing a project in the Kinsman SitePoint app makes it easy to hand that work off without having to recreate the project on another device.

Instructions to sharing the project can be found here under “Exporting and importing an individual project”

There are two things to keep in mind when sharing a project.
First, each person will be working from their own copy of the project. Changes they make won’t automatically appear in your copy, so if you want to pick up where they left off, have them share the updated project back to you.
Second, the tools available to them will depend on their account. If they don’t have a Pro subscription, they won’t have access to Pro tools included with your account.

Using Offset From Line to Find a Specific Distance Along a Line

Hi there - here’s the latest from To the Point!

I recently had the opportunity to visit a customer’s jobsite, where we came away with a new way to use the Offset from line tool.

This week’s tip: Using Offset from line to find a specific distance along a line

We were dropping points for a new fence where stakes had been placed every 8' to mark each post location. We dropped a point at each stake so the crew could find those locations again after the stakes were removed for digging.

As we worked our way down the fence line, we noticed one stake was missing. Instead of heading back to the vehicle for a tape measure, we opened the Offset from line tool. Using two existing stake points to create our reference line, we followed the line and measured 8' to find where the missing stake should be.

It was a simple problem, but a great example of how SitePoint can save a few extra steps and a little time on the jobsite.
