Volume Calculations

Overview

The Volume Calculations application program allows surfaces to be measured and volumes
(and other information) to be computed from these surfaces.
The Volume calculations application program can be used for the following tasks:
• Measuring points (surface points and boundary points) defining a new surface or
extending existing surfaces from the active job.
• Calculating the triangulation of the measured surface points to establish the surface.
• Calculating volumes from a reference (3D point, entered elevation) or by a stockpile
method.
The surface calculation can be made from:
• existing point data in the job.
• manually measured points.
• entered coordinates.
The Volume Calculations application program must be activated via a licence key. Refer to
"28 Tools...\Licence Keys" for information on how to activate the application program.
Heights and positions are always taken into account. Points must have full coordinate
triplets.
