Columns keep their survey order. Runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Custom CSV schema
Before you rely on this: First-pass guide only. Verify safety-critical or regulated work against the relevant standards, your project requirements and a qualified professional.
How to use this calculator
- Tick the columns you need — point, easting, northing, RL, code, description.
- Set how many blank rows to include.
- Copy or download the custom CSV schema, then fill in your points.
How it works
Different software expects different column sets. This builds a CSV header from exactly the fields you choose (kept in survey order) plus blank rows to fill.
Unlike the preset import templates, you decide which columns appear — useful when a job or program needs a specific subset.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the import template generator?
The template generator offers fixed presets (PENZD, ENZ, etc.); this lets you pick your own combination of fields for a custom schema.
Is this official course material?
No. It is free study support mapped to surveying course levels — not official North Metropolitan TAFE content or advice. Always follow your lecturer and the official assessment brief, and check your own working.
