Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual
Gocator Web Interface • 240
Closed Area
The Closed Area tool determines the cross-sectional area within a region using point cloud data from a
dual- or multi-sensor system.
The tool is intended for use with roughly circular shaped profiles, or profiles that do not contain
excessive concavity. The tool renders a polygon corresponding to the profile in the data viewer. Use this
polygon to decide whether the tool can correctly calculate an acceptable representation of the profile.
Minor gaps in the profile are permitted; the size of these gaps is configurable.
When the tool is used in conjunction with a script tool, you can calculate the volume of a target; for more
information on the Script tool, see Script on page 274.
For information on adding, managing, and removing tools and measurements, as well as detailed
descriptions of settings common to most tools, see Tools Panel on page 198.
