Description
Calculates the volume between coplanar areas (profiles) at different elevations within the active point cloud. The calculation is performed by generating horizontal sections at specified intervals, computing the area at each elevation, and integrating the difference to obtain the total volume. The result can be visualized as 3D polylines and/or exported as a report.
Parameters
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Initial Elevation | Starting elevation for the calculation. |
| Final Elevation | Ending elevation for the calculation. |
| Cutting Interval | Vertical distance between each horizontal section (slice) used for the calculation. |
| Bandwidth | Thickness of the band (vertical window) used to select points at each elevation. |
| Concavity | Controls the concavity of the generated hull for each section (lower = more detail). |
| Length Factor | Factor to control the minimum segment length in the hull generation. |
| Draw Polylines | If enabled, draws the resulting 3D polylines in the selected layer. |
| Generate Report | If enabled, generates a detailed report of the calculated volumes. |
