Mirror Cube

Often, users wish to construct a coordinate frame based on the faces of a mirror cube. The Mirror Cube frame assignment method provides a convenient method for repeatedly and accurately locating a coordinate frame with two instruments (typically theodolites). SpatialAnalyzer contains a powerful mirror cube frame assignment tool.

To accomplish a mirror cube frame assignment, point two theodolites at the mirror cube and collimate the instruments with the mirror faces. Record a shot from each theodolite at the cube using the same target name, just as if you were shooting the mirror as a target. If you desire reversed shots, reverse the scope and take another shot, or take multiple shots in each face. In SpatialAnalyzer, select Construct, Frame, and Mirror Cube. You will be prompted to select the target for the mirror. Pick the common target name you used for the measurements. The mirror cube frame assignment dialog will appear. At this point, you may press the Create Frame button to make the coordinate frame, or you may change the options.
