Contour lines

The Contour lines feature connects points of the same height with a polyline. The height values are extracted from the TIN (Triangular Irregular Network). Major and minor contour lines which are projected also onto the images are generated with this feature.

 
Access:
  • Click Process Pix4Dsurvey process icon or,
  • On the Menu bar, click Process > Contour lines.
 
Note: To generate contour lines the TIN needs to be generated in the project.

The following setting can be adjusted:

  • Interval [units]: It defines the contour line elevation interval. It can be in meters or in imperial according to the coordinate system used:
    • 1 m - default.
    • 3 ft(US) - default.
  • Discard contour loops shorter than [units]: It detects and discards contour lines with shorter length. It can be in meters or in imperial according to the coordinate system used:
    • 10 m - default.
    • 30 ft(US) - default.
 
Example: Contour lines generated from terrain points of the PIX4Dsurvey example dataset.
