Explanation:

Method of ties

  • The method of ties involves tying distances from two different points on a chain line to locate an offset point.
  • The tied distances form a triangle, and the method aims to create a near-equilateral triangle.

 Additional InformationPerpendicular offset method 

  • In the perpendicular offset method, the offset point is located by measuring perpendicular distances from two points on a chain line.
  • The resulting triangle may not be equilateral.

Swing offset method

  • It is also used to draw perpendicular offsets in chains in surveying and other surveys.
  • It is based on the principle that the shortest distance between any two points is nothing but the perpendicular distance.

Oblique offset method

  • In this method, the offset point is located by measuring the distances along oblique lines from two points on a chain line.
  • The resulting triangle is not necessarily equilateral.
