Hi there,
One of the main uses for Drone2Map for my firm is stockpile measurements. Most of the time the stockpiles are irregularly shaped and on sloped surfaces, so Drone2Map is invaluable for us to be able to set an interpolation base note for accurately capturing these changes in the grade.
Recently, one of our clients has requested us to determine the height at which half of the stockpile volume sits in order for them to adjust values on their end due to things like material compaction.
Fortunately, I was able to figure out that we can reasonably estimate this height value by setting a constant value in the base note for volume measurement, and then incrementally increasing this value until we are measuring a cut volume that is roughly half of what the total volume is.
Here is my suggestion for an improvement to this process: as it stands, I currently have to redraw the volume polygon every time I change the constant value. Because the pile volumes and heights are changing every month during the time of measurement, it ultimately becomes a trial and error process until I land on the constant value that captures half of the pile volume.
Would it be possible to allow us to change the base note constant elevation value without having to redraw the polygon every time? Right now we are able to change the display units on a measurement and have it update in real-time. The ability to be able to have it recalculate a volume simply by changing the constant value without needing to redraw a polygon and perform a new measurement would be an immense time saver for us.
