Solution
Calculate volumes
Outline the zone and choose the reference: a plane, a base level or the design surface. You get the cut and fill volumes, with a map of each zone.
What it's for
Calculate cut and fill volumes.
Compare the surveyed ground with a plane, a base level or the design surface, and know how much there is to cut or fill. It also works for stockpiles and deposits, accurate to 5 cm.

Outlined zoneCut and fillWhat you need
A digital terrain model and the reference for the calculation.
Upload the flight data or import the model already processed. To compare with the design, also import the design surface. For 5 cm accuracy, use ground control points in the survey or an RTK drone.

FAQ
What people usually ask.
Which references can I use for the calculation?
A horizontal plane, a base level or the design surface.
Can I calculate the volume of a stockpile?
Yes. Outline the stockpile and use the base plane or a level as the reference.
What does the cut and fill map show?
It shows, zone by zone, where the ground is above the reference (fill) and where it is below (cut), in different colours.
Do I need ground control points?
They are not required: the volume is calculated without them. With ground control points in the survey or RTK, accuracy reaches 5 cm.
Measure areas
Draw the boundary of any zone on the map and get its flat area, its real (3D) area and its perimeter. The measurement is kept with the survey and its date.
Compare surveys
Get digital 3D maps and models for each uploaded date, and view and measure how the work has progressed between them.
Measure elevations, distances and profiles
Mark points or draw a line on the map and get elevations, distances and the terrain profile, with its length, elevation difference and slope.
