      Intro: Stockpile Analysis

      How to use the ROCK Cloud to measure volumetrics and stockpile analysis.

      Creating  A Stockpile Measurement

      • Click the Stockpile Analysis Tool in the right tool pane.
      • Click the "Plus" button on the top right of the tool window.
      • Click around your Point Cloud to select the point of calculation.
        • Right Click to finish the bounding procedure.
      • Add a new title to the measurement.
      • Select the base surface you'd like to use for the calculation.
        •  Best fit creates a triangulated surface using a best fit calculation for the elevation of the plane.
        • Min uses the lowest selected point as the elevation for the plane.
        • Max uses the highest selected point as the elevation for the plane. 
      • Accuracy is how small you want to computing triangles to be (the smaller the triangles the less error but more time to calculate).
      • If you make adjustments to the area polygon or accuracy slider click re-calculate to run the area through again to get your new numbers.
      • Repeat the process to build more measurement areas.
      • Click the red save button to keep your edits and measurements.
