Distance Measurement

A Distance Measurement is a measurement of the shortest path between a specified start- and endpoint.

Create a Distance Measurement

Choose the "Distance" measurement tool
Left-click to designate a start/end point on the model or plan data
Choose the desired layer from the list to store the measurement
You can proceed with additional measurements or save the current one by clicking on "Finish"

Volume Measurement

A Volume measurement refers to the process of determining the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object.

What types of Volume calculation options are available?

Volume calculation based on:

Best Fit Surface (default calculation type): Creates an optimized triangulated surface from the drawn points.
Height: Calculates the volume above the defined height.
Point Clouds Difference: Calculates the volume between two point clouds.

Create a Volume measurement based on "Best Fit Surface"

Select the "Volume" measurement tool
Indicate the area to be measured by selecting at least 3 points on the point cloud
Choose the Calculation Type (example shows "Best Fit Surface" calculation type)
In Storage Location choose an existing measurement layer or create a new one
Calculate the volume by clicking the "Calculate Volume" button (wait for the message "Calculating Volume succeeded").
Press the "Finish" button
Proceed with another measurement or store the current one

For further information on working with measurement layers, click here.

Create a Volume measurement based on "Height"

Choose the "Volume" measurement tool
Select at least 3 points on the point cloud to indicate the area to be measured
Navigate to "Calculation Type" in the volume menu
Open the drop down menu and choose Based on "Height"
You can manually enter the height

or

Left-click on the desired point within the point cloud
The height of the selected point is automatically adopted
Calculate the volume by clicking the "Calculate Volume" button
The result is saved in the last layer used when saving the measurement

or

Navigate to the "Storage Location" option in the volume menu
Choose the desired layer from the list to store the measurement
Click on the "Finish" button
Proceed with another measurement or store the current one

For further information on working with measurement layers, click here.

Create a Volume measurement based on "Point Clouds Difference"

This tool is designed for comparing or calculating changes relative to a previous state. For example, in a construction site excavation, you can use either the topology point cloud provided by the state or a scan taken prior to the excavation. With the Point Clouds Difference Volume Measurement tool, you can calculate the amount of material excavated. Please note: This tool requires a minimum of 2 point clouds.

Activate at least 2 point clouds within the navigation pane
Choose the "Volume" measurement tool
Select at least 3 points on the point cloud to indicate the area to be measured
Navigate to "Calculation Type" in the volume menu
Open the drop down menu and choose "Point Clouds Difference"
In the list, which shows all active point clouds, assign point clouds to the two groups by clicking on the group number (group 1 is the Surface Point Cloud and group 2 the Base Point Cloud)
Click on the "Calculate Volume" button
Click on the "Finish" button
Proceed with another measurement or store the current one

For further information on working with measurement layers, click here.

Save a measurement

Once the measurement is completed, a numerical indicator (representing the number of unsaved measurements) appears next to the measurement symbol at the top left corner.

Click on the measurement tape with the red number
