Measuring a surface and calculation of the volume
The command Surface points (manual) allows to measure points manually;
every point measured updates the triangles 3D model.

1. Select on which job sheet to save new points that will be measured.
Current sheet
Saves points in the current job sheet.
New
Saves points on a new job sheet.
Select
Select the job sheet where you want to save points.
2. If the job sheet still contains a surface it’s possible to continue saving points on that surface or to
create a new surface; if the job sheet still contains more than one surface it will be created a new
surface.
Measure points of the surface
1. Press to measure points composing the surface. For every point saved the 3D surface is re-
calculated.
2. In the lower part of the window it’s visualized the area on the horizontal plane and the sloped area.
Measure breaklines
1. Press the bottom left button and Select New breakline
2. Press to measure points composing the breakline.
3. Press again bottom left button to start a new breakline or to measure single points.
Volume calculation
Basing on the current surface it’s possible to calculate volume. Calculable volumes are:
Automatic
It’s calculated automatically the cut and fill volume considering the perimeter
of the surface as reference.
Volume by height
It’s calculated automatically the cut and fill volume referring to a horizontal
plane at the indicated height.
Volume by point
It’s calculated automatically the cut and fill volume to a horizontal plane at the
height of the indicated point.
It’s visualized a window with the results of the calculation.
Visualization filters
Visualization filters allow to set some visualization parameters of data.
