How to calculate a Volume from a specific Base Altitude - PIX4Dmapper
To set the base altitude of a stockpile above or below the surface of the Densified 3D Point Cloud:
- Draw a stockpile object: 202560319. For each vertex of the stockpile base, a manual tie point is created. Do not mark the position of the manual tie points in the images.
- Open the GCP/Manual Tie Point Manger: 202557859.
- Convert the stockpile object tie points to 3D GCPs.
- Change the altitude of the 3D GCPs to the desired altitude of the volume base.
- Click OK to save the changes and close the GCP/Manual Tie Point Manager.
- Open the GCP/Manual Tie Point Manager.
- Convert the stockpile object tie points to Manual Tie Point.
- Click OK to save the changes and close the GCP/Manual Tie Point Manger.
- Open the Volumes tab, select the stockpile object, and click Compute to get the new volume calculation.
- You may mark the position of the manual tie points in the images for the manual tie points whose altitude was not changed in step 4.
Note: The same workflow may be applied for any vertex of the base surface.
