Volume Calculations TPS1200+/TS30/TM30 251
18.4 Step 3) Computing the Volume
Description • To calculate a surface by establishing a triangulation (triangulation method:
delauny) of the measured surface points.
• To compute the volume of the triangulated surface by using either:
• the stockpile method,
• an elevation plane as a reference,
• a single point as a reference.

Field Option Description
<Method:> Choicelist To calculate the volume of the triangu-
lated surface.
Stockpile To calculate a volume between the trian-
gulated surface and the surface defined
by the boundary points of the surface.
Surface to Elev To calculate a volume between the trian-
gulated surface and the height entered by
the user.
Surface to Point To calculate a volume between the trian-
gulated surface and the height of a
selected point.
<Surface Name:> Choicelist The surface chosen from the triangulated
surfaces currently stored to the active job.
<No. Triangles:> Output The number of triangles from the triangu-
lated surface
<To Elevation:> User Input To enter a height for the elevation plane.
This height will be used as the reference
when <Method: Surface To Elev> is
selected.
<To Point:> Choicelist To select a point from the active job.
This point height will be used as the refer-
ence when <Method: Surface To Point>
is selected.
