AS4QGIS works on the basis of point data exported as delimited text from a surveying device. 

ArchSurv4QGIS processes 10-character pointID-strings: e. g. '0001A03001'

- feature '1'

- line container / point property 'A'

- shape type '03'

- sequence number '001'

Depending on the entered "shape type", AS4QGIS generates four output datasets:

- polygons.shp

- polylines.shp

- pointdata.shp

- vertices.shp

shape type spectrum:

feature | '01' - heights, '02' - polyline, '03' - polygon, '33' - closed polyline

sample | '51' - sample point, '52' - sample polyline, '53' - sample polygon

posthole | '06' / '61' - buffered point measurement

finds | '71' - find point, '72' - find polyline, '73' - find polygon

3D markers | '81' - 3D marker point

trench | '91' - fixed point, '92' - trench polyline, '93' trench polygon

section nails | '00' - section nail point

Three distinct variations of the same algorithm pipeline are available:

1 | Archimedes

2 | Chronos

3 | Chimaira

AS4QGIS is free to use and fully customizable. The QGIS model is available for download in the '.model3' format here...
