-**Map Conversions** contain three types of parameters. The **Eastings**,
-**Northings** and **Orthogonal Height** parameters define the translation from
-the model's XYZ coordinates to map Eastings, Northings, and Heights. The **X
-Axis Abcissa** and **X Axis Ordinate** define the rotation vector from **Project
-North** to **Grid North**. The **Scale** defines the average combined scale
-factor across the small 1km site that converts from the model's surface
-distances to map grid distances. Note that the **Scale** is actually not a
-constant. However, for the small sites dealt with in vertical construction, it
-may be approximated to be a constant by your surveyor and will typically be a
-value close to, but not exactly 1. Your model's local engineering origin at 0,

+The **X Axis Abcissa** and **X Axis Ordinate** define the rotation vector from
+**Project North** to **Grid North**. These two numbers combine into a coordinate
+vector pointing along the X axis (i.e. **Project East**). The default is an
+abscissa of 1 and ordinate of 0. This default (1, 0) vector implies **Project
+East** and **Grid East** coalign, which means there is no rotation between
+**Project North** and **Grid North**.

-   The rotation from **Project North** to **Grid North** are shown using the **X
-   Axis Abcissa** and **X Axis Ordinate**. It sounds strange, but these two
-   numbers combine into a coordinate vector pointing along the X axis (i.e.
-   East). For example, an abscissa of 1 and an ordinate of 0 gives the vector of
-   (1, 0), which points directly in the +X direction, due East. This vector
-   means there is no rotation between **Project North** to **Grid North**. To
-   save you the mental struggle of converting this vector to degrees, a
-   calculated rotation is always just below these values. Phew!

+The distance measured on site, or the "surface distance" is actually not the
+same as the distance measured between Eastings and Northings. This difference is
+provided by the **Scale** parameter. The **Scale** defines the average combined
+scale factor across the small 1km site that converts from the model's surface
+distances to map grid distances. Note that the **Scale** is actually not a
+constant. However, for the small sites dealt with in vertical construction, it

+.. note::
+
+    Always check that the surveyor provides a scale factor such that surface
+    distance multiplied by **Scale** equals map grid distances (as opposed to
+    the other way around).
