Introduction to Volumes and Areas
The procedures described here are used to provide more information about the data contained in grid files. The topics discussed include volumes and areas.
The Grids | Calculate | Volume command calculates the volume and areas for the surfaces defined by grid files or a grid file and a horizontal plane. The Grids | Calculate | Volume computations contain the following information:
- Net volume between two grid files
- Net volume between a grid file and a horizontal plane
- Cut and fill volumes
- Surface area of a grid file above and below a specified level
- Planar area of a grid above and below a specified level
- volumes inside and outside of 3D polygons.
