Treatment of transect visits with no sightings

[Laura Secada]

Hi,

I read that when there was no sightings in one of my transect I should add a line to the my data table and leave the distance as blank (all other information regarding study area, transect length, etc are filled). When I upload this to Distance they don´t appear. Am I doing the right thing?

Thanks 

Laura

Yes Laura.  Transects without sightings must have their line length and other things recorded, but in the perpendicular distance field, there is nothing.
