Solution

Analyze slopes

Slope is calculated from the elevation model and shown in classes, from flat to steepest.

What it's for

Know where the ground is steepest.

The slope map shows, in colours, the flat and the steepest zones. Add contour lines and profiles where you need more detail.

What you need

An elevation model of the area.

Upload the flight data or import the model already processed. An orthophoto of the same area helps you recognise the ground.

Results

The slope of each zone, visible on the map.

You keep the slope map, contour lines and profiles with the survey, ready to look up, share or export.

  • Slope map by classes

  • Contour lines

  • Terrain profiles

  • Steep zones outlined

  • Report with the measurements

  • Export via API, as vector and raster

Important note. A slope layer does not replace a drainage, stability or safety study.

FAQ

What people usually ask.

How is slope calculated?

From the survey's elevation model, point by point, and shown in slope classes.

Is a photograph enough?

No. Slope needs the elevation model. The orthophoto provides context.

Can I see the profile of a steep zone?

Yes. Draw a line on the map and the profile is calculated automatically.
