Results

The volume calculation is presented in the map interface, based on the coloring and clicking the colored area will display the results in numeric format.

Please note that the visualization can be changed.

Results are stored only for the on-going session, these cannot be saved.

The picture above shows both coloring modes. The larger area on the left is with the second option (cut-zero-fill) and the smaller area on the right is color gradient.

Notice the difference that the left side is either blue, red or white. The area on the right side has more shades of red and blue.

Numeric values

The calculation also returns the exact numeric values of cut, fill, net volume and area.

By clicking the visualization it opens a pop-up, which has the exact values between the point cloud and the surface.

The Volume -value is calculated by subtracting Fill -value from the Cut -value. If the value is negative, it means that there is need for material in this area. If the value is positive, it means that there are excess material.

Reconfiguring visualization

The visualization can be reconfigured, meaning that all the settings can be changed.

This is very useful way of getting familiar with the different coloring modes and how the change in values impact the results.
