Stockpile detection

Pythagoras automatically detects stockpiles in a point cloud. It will calculate and draw a polyline around a stockpile. This 3D-polyline can later be used to create a polygon for further use such as volume calculation in a point cloud or for the creation of a terrain model. 

STEPS

• Create a new layer 'Stockpile contours' and set as active layer.
• Go to menu Point Clouds.
• Select Breaklines & Stockpiles.

• In the window Breakline & Stockpile Detection select the point cloud and choose the line type: Stockpile contours. If needed you can add a minimum length and choose for a smooth polyline.

• Click on the button 'OK'.
• Confirmation message: A polyline is created within your drawing. Click on OK.
