Control Point Tutorial - WHY DO CONTROL POINTS NEED TO BE ACCURATE?

This is a detailed video that describes what the total station does to "best fit" your control points to what the digital plan is asking for. If these are accurate, you will be able to have a very accurate layout. Knowing how the tool adjusts inaccurate control points should help you find and resolve control point errors on your jobsite.

You will notice one typo: I accidentally change the 49' 6" measurement to 45' 6". Please note that it should be reading 49' 6" the whole time. Thanks again for watching!
