    Maybe to help, I made a video which visually demos how chief calculates the pad elevation. Glenn's plans are more detailed but sometimes a visual helps to understand.

    The video is a little long winded, because I'm just slow, but I think it covers most bases. I did discover a update problem which was giving strange results. This may be some of Scott's problem.

    In any event, when Chief does update properly, the calculations appear consistent and correct. Problem is not in cals, problem is in correct updates.

    If the Government would just cut down more d*** trees, I'd have a much better view of the forest.
