Volume

Source file: report-volume.htm

The Volume reporting tool uses as-built stockpile surfaces and base surfaces to calculate the volumes of the individual piles and output the results in a report.

View showing an example of an as-built stockpile yard with polygons indicating where the perimeters around the piles are.

Tip:  Define each stockpile perimeter with a polygon of a different colour. These colours will be used in the report to tie the images of the piles to their corresponding data.

  1. On the tab, in the Reporting group, click Volume.
    The Volumetric Report tool will open on its Specify report data page.


  2. Drag the base and stockpile surfaces into the corresponding fields. Add polygons defining the perimeters of the piles.

    Tip:  You can drag in individual or multiple polygons, or containers of polygons.

    Tip:  Keep all relevant polygons together in one container. You can then drag the whole container into the Region polygons field.
