Solution
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.
What it's for
Get elevations, distances and profiles from the survey.
Mark one point to read its elevation, two points for the distance, or draw a line: the terrain profile is calculated automatically, with the elevation chart, the length, the elevation difference and the slope.
Drag to see the terrain profile.
Drawn lineTerrain profileWhat you need
A georeferenced survey with an elevation model.
Upload the flight data or import the orthophoto and model already processed. Distances are measured on the orthophoto; elevations and profiles need the elevation model.

FAQ
What people usually ask.
How do I create a terrain profile?
Draw a line on the survey. The profile is calculated automatically from the elevation model, with the elevation chart, the length, the elevation difference and the slope.
Can I measure elevations with the orthophoto alone?
No. Distances are measured on the orthophoto, but elevations and profiles need the survey's elevation model.
In which formats can I export a profile?
The chart as PNG, JPG or PDF, the elevation table as CSV and, via API, the line as vector data.
Are the measurements kept?
Yes. Each elevation, distance or profile is kept with the survey and its date, and can be looked up later.
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.
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.
Compare surveys
Get digital 3D maps and models for each uploaded date, and view and measure how the work has progressed between them.
