How Features are Marked

Feature marking is a drafting decision, not just a software output. Aerotas focuses on visible, meaningful site features that help the final map do its job.

Drafted site features shown on a topographic mapping deliverable.

Aerotas does not treat drafting as a blind export from a point cloud. Features are marked according to practical production standards so the final map remains lightweight, readable, and useful inside CAD.

What gets marked

The goal is to identify meaningful visible features on the site and represent them clearly in the deliverable. Depending on the product, that may include breaklines, edges of pavement, curbs, structures, visible utilities, drainage elements, and other common planimetric or topographic features.

Why visible matters

Drone-based drafting is limited to what can be observed from the capture. Aerial deliverables can be extremely complete, but they are still not a substitute for ground investigation where the feature is hidden, ambiguous, or legally requires conventional survey confirmation.

Important distinction: Aerotas marks what can be reliably interpreted from the data and the product scope. It does not imply that every invisible, buried, or legally controlled condition has been resolved from the air.

How standards are applied

The legacy Aerotas site included a deeper image-based library of feature examples. This rebuilt resource page captures the operating logic now, while the more detailed public reference set remains a tracked follow-up item. For project-specific questions, the best path is still to align on scope and customer drafting expectations before production begins.
