Description

Creates a closed wireframe which surrounds the volume underneath the "Upper DTM" and above the "Lower DTM". The DTMs do not need to intersect, and any open edges will be filled in with vertical sides (similar to wireframe-surface-merge).

With this command, each DTM will be automatically extended (temporarily) if required in order to guarantee an intersection. This additional overhead will reduce the performance of the operation compared to its partner command wireframe-under-surface-intersecting which will be quicker for the same data but assumes a clean intersection of surfaces is already in place.

Displays the Volume under DTM dialog.

Note: This command supports flexible wireframe selection.

How to Use

1. Run the command.

2. Select which data represents the Upper DTM (for example, the original, unmined topography). You can choose a loaded wireframe object, or preselected wireframe triangles using the Selected triangles option, committing the data to the command with the Store current selection button.

3. Select which object represents the Lower DTM (for example, the resulting surface after prestripping). As above, you can either choose a loaded object or preselected triangles.

4. Click OK to generate the volume between the upper and lower surface

5. You can output data either within the Current object, an existing wireframe object (pick it from the list) or a new object (type a new name).
