I have a client who is concerned with the areas and boundary figures quoted
by the Ordnance Survey not giving a true reflection of the area that needs
to be farmed. Essentially he wants to be able to calculate an area that
takes into account the profile of the land, so that in a more hilly area the
surface area that is exposed will be greater than if the land were assumed
to be flat. Is there any feature within Vertical Mapper than will enable me
to do this. Regarding the boundaries I have tried to create a cross section
of a boundary which gives horizontal distance and a true distance (taking
the elevation into account), although I don't quite know why the horizontal
distance doesn't correspond with the polyline length from which I am
creating the cross section.

Any help would me much appreciated.
