GeoTools Civil Tools – Multiple Cross-section tools: Compute Volumes
Bangalore, India
The GT_CROSSSECT command is a multi-process command that uses several existing GeoTools commands like GT_DRAPEPOLY, GT_SET_Z_PL and GT_PROFILE to perform a series of operations intended to facilitate volume computations across a surface.
The idea behind the GT_CROSSSECT command is to create cross-sectional profiles across the terrain at regular intervals (strips) and to compute the cross-sectional area formed by each strip.
This area multiplied by the width of the strip gives the volume of each strip of the terrain.
The sum of the volumes of each strip gives the volume of the entire surface.
