The End of an Era for a Special Land Surveyor Community
We received some genuinely sad news this week as POB begins the shutdown of the original RPLS network, started by pre-social media pioneer Mark Deal. The RPLS Network began in the 1990's with Deal's vision of a land surveyor community meant to bring together land surveyors across the nation in order to share tips and insights into land surveying. Countless hours have been saved in the field by thousands of land surveyors over time and thr

Hi Everyone,
I completed a Stockpile Volume Survey about a month or so ago and I thought I'd also make a 3d model that would be viewable, both online, but also in VR.
It can be viewed in VR most smartphones if you use cheap eg. $20 goggles, or with an Occulus Go headset.
Check it out and let me know your thoughts or any questions.
