It explains why metric surveying matters, introduces key concepts such as scale, precision, accuracy, control, and projection, and then develops control and instrument procedures. The book covers indirect methods like rectified photography, photogrammetry, orthophotography, laser scanning, and direct methods using TST surveying and site drawing, supported by detailed case studies and concluding principles for verifiable results and archive accessibility.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/measured-and-drawn-techniques-and-practice-for-the-metric-survey-of-historic-buildings-second-edition/651124/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/measured-and-drawn-techniques-and-practice-for-the-metric-survey-of-historic-buildings-second-edition/651124.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Himbo","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-29","2026-10-24",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":81},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"Why use metric survey for historic buildings?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The book explains how metric survey supports conservation documentation and addresses the challenges of applying surveying sciences to accurate recording of historic places.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What are the main categories of metric survey techniques covered?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"It distinguishes indirect survey techniques such as rectified photography, photogrammetry, orthophotography, image-based methods, and laser scanning from direct survey techniques including TST surveying and site drawing.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"How does the book approach control and accuracy in measured drawing?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"It covers types of control systems (including baselines and traverse methods), discusses GPS, and addresses accuracy and performance as part of producing verifiable survey results.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},651124,1793003162,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":39,"category_name":40,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":81,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},687197100911,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/a000239b6f1da00475?x-image-process=image/resize,m_fixed,w_180,h_180&k=1785132997149421697","Measured and Drawn  \nTechniques and practice for the metric survey of historic buildings (second edition)  \nMeasured and Drawn  \n“… so the Geometer, how excellent so ever he be, leaning onely to discourse of reason, without practise (yea and that sundrie wayes made) shall fall into manifolde errors or inextricable Laberinthes.”  \nThomas and Leonard Digges, Pantometria 1571  \nMeasured and Drawn  \nTechniques and practice for the metric survey of historic buildings (second edition)  \ntext by David Andrews, Jon Bedford, Bill Blake, Paul Bryan, Tom Cromwell, Richard Lea  \nedited by Jon Bedford, Heather Papworth  \nPublished by English Heritage, Kemble Drive, Swindon SN2 2GZ [www.english-heritage.org.uk](www.english-heritage.org.uk)  \nEnglish Heritage is the Government’s statutory adviser on all aspects of the historic environment.  \n© English Heritage 2009  \nImages (except as otherwise shown) © English Heritage or © Crown copyright.
