Volumes & Surfaces
59.1
Overview
The Volume Calculations app allows surfaces to be measured and volumes (and
other information) to be computed from these surfaces.
The Volume calculations app can be used for the following tasks:
•
Measuring points (surface points and boundary points) defining a new sur-
face or extending existing surfaces from the job.
•
Calculating the triangulation of the measured surface points to establish
the surface.
•
Calculating volumes from a base (3D point, entered elevation) or by a
stockpile method.
The surface calculation can be made from:
•
existing point data in the job.
•
manually occupied points.
•
entered coordinates.
If the message panel appears which requires that the app must be activated
using a licence key then refer to "29.3 Load licence keys".
Volume Calculations are possible for RTK rover and TS.
Surfaces can be created from points stored as:
•
Local grid
•
Height mode can be ellipsoidal or orthometric.
Heights and positions are always taken into account. Points must have full
coordinate triplets.
