Update: After poking around a bit, I discovered that Compass will calculate cave volume based on centerline and LRUD data. Doing that means I have to run a Windows computer (ugh!) and type in the survey data twice (double ugh!) Fortunately the cave for which I need this is small.
Can this feature be added as a suggestion for future versions of Survex? Compass does quite a few other calculations. For example, it will calculate the volume of the bounding box. A sample report is attached. It is nice that the report is in both meters and feet. -- Bill Gee On Wednesday, August 14, 2019 10:49:32 AM CDT chris pennos wrote: > Hi, I am also interested on volume calculation! > > Please keep me updated it! > > > On 11 Aug 2019, at 22:22, Benedikt Hallinger <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > It would be awesome if the compiler could derive this fron the loch model > > and write it to the statistics block (the one where also loop closure info > > and total west/east and north/south dimwnsions are returned) when compiling > > this, as the neccessary data should be already present? > > > >> Am 09.08.2019 um 14:58 schrieb Bill Gee <[email protected]>: > >> > >> Hello everyone - > >> > >> What tools can be used to calculate the volume of a cave based on center > >> line and LRUD data? > >> > >> I found an email from Martin Sluka from about 4 years ago describing how > >> to use Loch to export a .lox file in other formats, then run that file > >> through CloudCompare or ParaView.
