Survey a surface

+ SURFACE&VOLUME | + SURFACE&VOLUME | + SURFACE&VOLUME

• From Survey menu it is possible using a GNSS receiver or a total station to create or edit a surface measuring with the current instrument new triangles, boundary lines and break lines.

• To survey a surface from the Survey page click Surface.

  

• Select the surface to measure.

  

  • New surface: creates a new surface from scratch.

  • Existing surface: allows to edit an existing surface with new points, break lines and boundary lines.

• Click Start.

  

• The commands in the bottom bar allow to measure the different surface elements:

  • Measure: to measure new topographic points to be used for the surface.

  • Breaklines: to survey a polyline as new break line to be used for the surface.

  • Bound Ext: to survey a polyline as new external boundary line to be used for the surface. When the points have been measured, press Stop to close the boundary line.

  • Bound Int: to survey a polyline as new internal boundary line to be used for the surface. When the points have been measured, press Stop to close the boundary line.

  • Delete last: to delete the last measured point.

• The surface is generated and updated after each element is measured.

  

• When the measurement operations are complete, click Back and select the elements to save.

  

  • Save surfaces: saves the surface inside the surface list of the current project.

  • Save points: saves the measured topographic points inside the current project.

  • Save lines: save the measured polylines inside the current project.

• Click Save. The surface is saved inside the Surfaces list.
