How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.
We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.

I think the easiest way to explain “Basic Roading” to a customer may be to ask if they are looking to do Highway Stakeout work.
If they are doing Highway work – they need the Advanced Roading option in SurvCE to use the Roads tab routines for Store Sections, Stake Slope and Stake Road.
If they do not own “Advanced Roading” they will be limited to the Survey tab for “Stake_Line_Arc” and “Stake Offset” for very basic stakeout using alignment data for Horizontal centerline and Vertical profile data
I got this answer from Carlson:
Ivan,
I have checked with our tech support team and gotten the following information about the specific capabilities of the Advanced Roading package for SurvCE, please see below. This should be the information you need to determine if in fact you do need to purchase this additional software to accomplish the work at hand. The Advanced Roading package never comes standard with a basic SurvCE configuration. The cost for Advanced Roading is $500 US.
