### [Topping a Pole](https://www.osmose.com/o-calc/wiki/2018/01/31/topping-a-pole-in-o-calc-pro)

- [Tips](https://www.osmose.com/o-calc/wiki/tag/tips)

The field practice of “topping” a pole can be modeled successfully in O-Calc Pro. When a pole is “topped”, a portion of the top of the pole is cut off. This could be for a number of reasons, like pole tip deterioration, or the desire to use a heftier class pole that isn’t necessarily very tall. By .

### [Application of Overturn Moment and Soil Class](https://www.osmose.com/o-calc/wiki/2017/11/10/application-of-overturn-moment-as-a-function-of-soil-class)

- [Reports](https://www.osmose.com/o-calc/wiki/tag/reports),
- [Troubleshooting](https://www.osmose.com/o-calc/wiki/tag/troubleshooting)

O-Calc Pro determines the overturn moment of a pole based on the technique detailed in RUS Bulletin 1724E-200. The overturn moment is calculated as follows:

### [Utilizing the AUX Data Fields](https://www.osmose.com/o-calc/wiki/2017/11/10/utilizing-the-aux-data-fields)

- [Reports](https://www.osmose.com/o-calc/wiki/tag/reports)

Any component utilized in the construction of an O-Calc Pro pole model has several attributes available to the user. These attributes can be found by selecting an item, and viewing available attributes in the Data Entry Panel of the O-Calc Pro interface. These attributes can vary between different .

### [Using Control Points in DMT Process](https://www.osmose.com/o-calc/wiki/2017/11/10/using-control-points-in-dmt-process)

- [Photo Measurement](https://www.osmose.com/o-calc/wiki/tag/photo-measurement)

The DMT, or Digital Measurement Technology, process in O-Calc Pro allows a user to obtain information from a photo of a pole that was taken with a CVT, or a Calibrated Visual Target. This technology allows a user to obtain attachment heights, span diameters, and other information. However, if a pho.

### [End Drop in Gang Editor](https://www.osmose.com/o-calc/wiki/2017/11/10/enddrop-rise-in-ganged-geometry-editor)

- [Photo Measurement](https://www.osmose.com/o-calc/wiki/tag/photo-measurement)

In previous versions of O-Calc Pro, a user has always had the ability to adjust the end drop/rise value for a span. This attribute can be found by selecting a span, and is visible under the “Standard” filter in the Data Entry Window.

### [Reference Origin for Data Entry](https://www.osmose.com/o-calc/wiki/2017/11/10/reference-origin-for-data-entry)

- [Tips](https://www.osmose.com/o-calc/wiki/tag/tips)

In O-Calc Pro v. 5.03 additional functionality was added to incorporate the use of a reference that can be set by the user. Two additional shortcuts were created to utilize this set reference for the manipulation of the height and rotation of various objects in O-Calc Pro. A reference can be set as.
