Making Measurements Basic Controls

  • Click on the type of Measurement you would like to make:
    • Lines
    • Polygons
    • Points

  • Select your Preferred Template
    • See 'Measurement Templates' later in this tutorial for more information.

  • Left Click the map to place points. (The vertices of your Measurement)

  • To finish a Measurement, click your last point (vertex) and it will finalize the shape.

  • Once the Measurement is drawn, a box will appear on the left with more options.

Moving, Sharing, and Deleting Measurements

  • Select the checkbox next to the Measurement you want to move, share, or delete.

  • At the bottom of the list of measurements there is a white rounded shape with your options:

    • Move To
      • Select or create a folder to move the measurement.

    • Share
      • Creates a shareable link to that measurement.

      • The link can be accessed by anyone with login access to the site.


    • Delete
      • Deletes the selected measurement from the dataset permanently.

    • Three Dot Menu
    • Export as KML
      • Saves the dataset as a KML file

    • Export as DXF (Outline)
      • Saves the dataset as a DXF file

    • Duplicate to this dataset
      • Duplicates the selected measurement to the dataset, can be modified separate of the original.

    • Copy to another dataset
      • Copies the measurement to another dataset for comparison or modification.

    • Promote to site
      • By default, measurements are made dataset by dataset.
      • Selecting 'Promote to Site' makes that measurement available on all previous and future datasets.


Types of Measurements

  • Lines
    • Drawing a line on the map will extract measurements only on portions of the dataset directly under the line.
      • These are used to pull measurements like 'Gradient' or 'Elevation' of the dataset beneath it.
      • This cannot be used for something that requires another dimension, like 'Surface Area'


  • Polygons
    • Drawing a Polygon on the map will result in measurements from the area under the drawn portion as well as in-between each vertex.

    • Unlike a Line, it will always take measurements by circling back to the first point upon completion.


  • Points
    • Points only extract data from what's directly underneath the point.

    • They can effectively be used for notes without making large distracting shapes on screen.


Lines/Cross Section

  • Berm Check
    • Measure safety berms, bunds, windrows, or other barriers. Draw a line across the barrier to calculate the height and widths.

  • Cross-Section Comparison
    • Draw a line across an area of cut or fill, then compare levels of the line section between surveys or against a design.

  • Distance
    • Measure the distance between two points.

  • Elevation Difference
    • Draw a line between two or more points and calculate the difference between the points.

  • Road Grade
    • Draw a line along a section of road, pavement, or track to calculate the grade as a ratio. (i.e. 1:9)

Polygons

  • Basic Volume
    • Measure the Volume of Material within a Polygon.

  • Compare to Latest Design
    • Measure the difference in volume between the selected survey and the most recently dated design surface.

  • Compare to Previous Survey
    • Measure the progress or change in volume between the selected survey and the most recently dated design surface.

  • Earthworks Progress
    • Measure the earthworks progress from last survey and current survey to design.

  • Stockpile
    • Measure a stockpile on even ground (flat or sloped.) For material with an uneven base, use the Volume Compare tool with a design surface.

  • Surface Area
    • Measure the surface area within a Polygon.

  • Volume from Lowest Point
    • Measure using a horizontal base plane defined by the lowest point of your Polygon. Useful for measuring pit walls, benches, and blast volumes.

Points

  • Elevation History
    • Track the change in height of a specific point over the course of multiple surveys.

  • Point of Interest
    • Mark features of interest on your site for easy record keeping or sharing with your team.

  • Safety Hazard
    • Mark safety hazards and assign severity.

Exporting PDF Reports

  • Above the map, click the dropdown for 'Reports'

  • Select 'PDF Report'
    • Only Visible Measurements (Measurements with Checked Boxes) are rendered to the report.

  • Select your content preferences, and hit 'Download Full Report'

'View' Level Access

  • Most Restricted Access Level

  • Users can only view existing datasets. No measurements or designs are visible. No data, reports, or measurements can be created, edited, or exported.

'Export' Level Access

  • Users can generate reports, export measurements, and download any processed files for the existing dataset.

'Edit' Level Access

  • In addition to the functionality of 'View' and 'Export', users can create, edit, and save measurements.

  • Users can also upload files to the dataset and change settings for a site.

  • Those settings include:
    • Project Name
    • Coordinate Reference System
    • Units of Measurement

Sharing Individual Measurements

  • Select the checkbox next to the measurement you want to share.

  • At the bottom of the list of measurements, there is a white rounded shape with your options. Hit 'Share'

  • This creates a shareable link to that measurement. The link can be accessed by anyone with a login connected to that site.

Sharing access to the Full Site

  • Near the top right of the page you will see the word 'Share.'

  • Click 'Share' and enter the email of the user you want to add.

  • By Default, the new user will only have 'View' Permissions.
    • In order to change that, contact your Assigned Pilot.

Modifying Terrain to Improve Accuracy

  • The Terrain on each dataset can be edited so things like trees or vehicles are not taken into account for measurements.
    • Your Assigned Pilot will edit away vehicles during processing.

    • If you see something we might have missed or that you want to be taken out of the dataset, simply make a measurement and 'Share' it with your Assigned Pilot. We will remove it from the terrain.

Data Viewer Compatible Browsers

  • Currently, only Chrome Version 64 or Higher is compatible with the Data Viewer.
