Grid origin
The grid is aligned to the survey axes (north-up). Offsets are measured from the origin: columns along easting, rows along northing.
Column lines (→ easting)
e.g. A at 0, B at 6, C at 12.
| Label | Offset (m) | |
|---|---|---|
Row lines (↑ northing)
e.g. 1 at 0, 2 at 5.
| Label | Offset (m) | |
|---|---|---|
Grid intersections
| Grid ref | Easting | Northing |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | 1000.000 | 2000.000 |
| B1 | 1006.000 | 2000.000 |
| C1 | 1012.000 | 2000.000 |
| A2 | 1000.000 | 2005.000 |
| B2 | 1006.000 | 2005.000 |
| C2 | 1012.000 | 2005.000 |
Set-out CSV
How to use this calculator
- Enter the grid origin easting and northing.
- List the column lines (along easting) and row lines (along northing) with their offsets from the origin.
- Read the coordinates for every grid intersection, and download the set-out CSV.
How it works
Each intersection's coordinate is the origin plus the column offset (easting) and the row offset (northing): E = originE + colOffset, N = originN + rowOffset.
The grid is assumed square to the survey axes (north-up). For a rotated grid, rotate the offsets first.
Worked example
Grid A–C × 1–2. Origin 1000, 2000 with columns A/B/C at 0/6/12 m and rows 1/2 at 0/5 m gives B2 = E 1006.000, N 2005.000.
Frequently asked questions
Can it handle a rotated grid?
This version is axis-aligned to E/N. For a grid set on a bearing, apply the rotation to the offsets (or use a full COGO package) before set-out.
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.
