Occupation area - MDT25

19.27 Occupation Area

This command lets you calculate the affected area of one or more plots from a closed polyline.

Initially, the cell size that will be used to calculate the surface is requested. The default is set to 1 meter. The smaller the cell size, the more accurate the calculation will be.

Next, you must designate the intersecting polyline and finally the plots for which you want to know the area occupied.

Once the calculation has been done, you will see a list of the affected plots:

For each plot the following data is shown:

• Name

• Total area

• Occupied area

• Unoccupied area

• Occupation, which may be total or partial.

• Percentage of occupation.

You can print the list in different formats.
