Volume Reporting

The Volume report tool accepts an as-built stockpile surface and base surface and generates a report to calculate the volumes of the individual piles.

Note:  Indicate the perimeter around each stockpile with a polygon in a different colour. These colours will be used in the report later to tie the images of the piles with their data in the report.

    The Volume report tool will open and guide you through the steps required to produce the report.

  2. Specify report data - select as-built stockpile surface and base surface, as well as polygons defining perimeter of each pile.
