Volume Measurement
SiteView now incorporates Volume Measurement functionality and enables measurements directly from the Capture Viewer or via the 3D Dollhouse within the Plan Viewer. Thanks to Cupix's advanced 3D mapping technology, documenting the jobsite has become an effortless task and offers both accuracy and convenience. With the advent of the new Volume Measurement feature, a realm of possibilities unfolds before you: from calculating rough estimates like earth cut and fill to excavation and optimizing cargo space, or even evaluating crop growth, all these tasks can be accomplished right from the confines of your workspace.
Measuring Volume is straightforward: by simply defining a Base Plane, the tool automatically computes both the mass above the plane's surface and the space below it. For step-by-step guidance on specifying the Base Plane, please refer to the short guide videos below.
How to Set Base Plane ① - Default Method
This method is the easiest and most fundamental way to measure volume in SiteView.
- Pick points around the subject you want to measure and then press Enter. Base Plane will be generated automatically based on those points.
How to Set Base Plane ② - Setting Up Reference Plane
This method comes in handy when there's not enough geometry around the subject you want to measure for placing points. This method can also be used when a common reference plane is needed to facilitate easy comparison between measured volumes.
- Pick at least three points around the desired location, where you want to set a Reference Plane, and press Enter. Refernce Plane will be generated automatically based on those points.
- Pick points around the subject you want to measure and then press Enter. Base Plane will be generated automatically based on those points.
