2 Creating Deliverables from Meshes
Meshes can be used as a basis for further deliverables. The following will look at deriving volume
and surface deviation measurements as well as creating contour lines based on TIN meshes.
2.1 Measuring Volumes
Volumes can be calculated between a mesh and a reference surface or between two meshes.
The workflow below describes the process of establishing a volume between the created TIN
mesh and a flat surface (called reference plane) which first has to be positioned accurately.
Find High/ Low Point
The following describes a way of locating the highest point in a mesh in order to positioning the
reference plane based on it.
