Requirements

Controls

The following can be used to control and customise the report:

Control	Description
Title	Type the title to display in the report.
Default	Click the button to display the default title for the report.
Match vertical	Select the checkbox to: Configure the Vertical distance in the search criteria. Configure the Vertical tolerance.
Search distances: Horizontal	Type the horizontal distance to search.
Search distances: Vertical	Type the difference in orthometric height (or Z) to search.
Tolerances:	Select the checkbox to enable the tolerance boxes. In the report, differences not within the Tolerances display red.
Distance Type	Horizontal : Type the horizontal tolerance. Slope : Type the slope distance tolerance.
Vertical	Type the vertical tolerance. Note: Available when you select the Match vertical checkbox and the distance type is configured to Horizontal.
Use comparison project	Select if the vertices to compare are in a different project.
	Browse to the project that contains the vertices to compare.
	Move the selected item up in the list.
	Move the selected item down in the list.
OK	Show the comparison report.
Cancel	Cancel without running the command.

Select the checkbox to include the columns in the report.

Column	Description
Point Name	Name of the points.
Point Id	Unique Id of the points.
Point Layer	Layer of the selected points.
Point Easting	Easting of the selected points.
Point Northing	Northing of the selected points.
Point Height	Height of the selected points.
Vertex Name	Name of the object containing the vertex.
Vertex Id	Unique Id of the object containing the vertex.
Vertex Easting	Easting of the selected points.
Vertex Northing	Northing of the selected points.
Vertex Height	Height of the selected points.
Difference Easting	The difference in easting.
Difference Northing	The difference in northing.
Difference Height	The difference in height.
Direction	Direction from the point to the vertex.
Horizontal Distance	Horizontal distance between the point and the vertex.
Slope Distance	Slope distance between the point and the vertex.
Grade	Grade between the point and the vertex.

Notes

Values are from the vertex to the selected point.
A negative height difference indicates the selected point is below the vertex.
Clear the Use Comparison Project checkbox to compare selected points with unselected vertices, within the search criteria, in the current project.
Select the Use Comparison Project checkbox to compare the selected points with all vertices, within the search criteria, in the comparison project.
Only selected points will attempt to have comparison vertices located and reported on.
Only objects that are displayed will be considered for comparison with the selected points.
Differences not within the specified tolerance are displayed in the report in red.
Selected columns will be shown in the defined order.
Press Shift + Ctrl then click to move the column to the top of the list.
Press Shift + Ctrl then click to move the column to the bottom of the list.
The average height difference in the reports statistics is the arithmetic mean of the signed values not the absolute values.
