1. Measure or select existing points to define the area.
2. The 2D and 3D areas are calculated automatically and displayed once three points
have been measured or selected.
Field Description
Two-dimensional area calculated by projection onto a horizontal plane.
A 2D
Three-dimensional area calculated by projection onto an automatically
A 3D
defined horizontal reference plane.
The 3D area is calculated based on the following:
• The system will use the three points which cover the largest area.
• If there are two or more equal largest areas, the system will use the
area with the shortest perimeter.
• If the largest areas have equal perimeters, the system will use the
area with the last measured point.
Next step
Press Calc to calculate area and volume and proceed to the 2D / 3D Area Results
screen.
In the 2D / 3D Area Results screen.
• View the area in ha and m
• Press NewArea to define a new area.
• Or, press End to exit the program.
