We have to make some choices when we dimension a block with a notch or cutout.

It is usually best to dimension from a common line or surface.

This can be called the datum line of surface. This eliminates the addition of measurement or machining inaccuracies that would come from "chain" or "series" dimensioning.

Why is it important to ensure that marking out is undertaken from the selected datum?

1. Question is really vague, it is important to mark out the selected datum, as you just selected that datum? What else are you going to do with It? If you are working from another datum point just ensure that it is a good datum with critical measurements checked otherwise the new datum could throw out al measurements. P.s i wish the selected retards would stop answering with nonsense answers.

What is datum in land survey?

A land survey datum (plural datums) is a reference from which measurements are made. The reference in the form of a set of coodinate and a direction. The datum can be arbitary (assumed) or absolute. The arbitary datum point is a point whose coordinate and direction are not known, so an arbitary value is adopted. All other coodinates of the survey project are connected together, but its datum point is not connected to a larger network. The absolute datum is a reference point whose coordinate and direction are already known within a frame of network. So the new survey become part of the network.


Explain how to select and establish a suitable datum the importance of ensuring that marking out is undertaken from the selected datum and the possible effects of working from a different?

To select a suitable datum, consider a stable reference point on the workpiece or surface. Mark the datum clearly and securely. When marking out, ensure all measurements and reference points are taken from this datum to maintain accuracy and consistency. Working from a different datum can lead to incorrect measurements, misalignments, and errors in the final product. It is crucial to avoid this by consistently using the established datum.

How is mean sea level defined?

There is a point in Cornwall, in the UK, where there is a hatch in a building and underneath is a mark from which mean sea level for the entire world is calculated. It is in Newlyn, I think. Answer MSL is the average between high and low tides, and is a datum point used to desribe the height of tides, although the actual measurement is quite complex. The Newlyn mentioned above is the datum point for the UK, not the world. Other countries have their own datum point.
