Volume Calculation

The Volume Calculation tool compares two Scalable Meshes (3SM) or a Scalable Mesh and an element.

Access the tool:

  • Realty Modeling workflow: Analyze tab > Reality Mesh > Volume Calculation.
  • Open Reality Mesh Attachments dialog then select Edit.

The tool creates a grid (Grid Resolution setting) over the user defined area which is used to calculate volume differences between the two models. These volumes are then used to analyze and report Cut and Fill differences.

  • Block
  • Shape
  • Element
Cut Color Color that represents cut values in output Raster Grid.
Fill Color

Output

Output types:

  • Raster Grid
