It is possible to import control distances directly from text file: every line of the text file must be formatted as "Control Point #2" "Control Point" 2.18197 Measure mesh volume It is possible to compute the mesh volume using the dedicated button. If the mesh is not completely closed, all holes will be automatically filled and later shown with a red color - it is possible to save that mesh as a separate workspace object. If you decide to use a point cloud as a source, it will be computed the corresponding mesh anyways. Once you have selected the reference mesh from the menu, simply click the "Compute" button. Measure volume after projection This tool allows to calculate the volume of a mesh or a point cloud by considering the points distance and the position of a plane chosen by the user. Points under the plane are not consider, while those above that are projected on plane's surface. That tool streamlines volume calculation of elements such as embankments and diggings and it is handy for applications like 3D printing for instance. The calculated mesh can be exported as a standard surface in the main formats provided in 3DF Zephyr. Volume after projection on a quarry: here the direction of plane's normal is up Inner volume This tool allows to calculate the volume of a cloud/mesh when the photographic survey has been carried out from the inside of the acquired object itself, as in the case of a room or a tank. Unlike the standard volume computation, this algorithm entails that the normals
