Surfaces/DTM stakeout: cut & fill, offset, and more in Emlid Flow

News

Hi everyone!

If you need accurate terrain for your cut and fill job, check out the new Surface tool in Emlid Flow. No need for third-party apps anymore—handle excavation, grading, terracing, and other earthwork tasks in Emlid Flow.

Simply upload your digital terrain model in LandXML format with Emlid Flow 360 and stake out directly in Emlid Flow. As you stake out lines and points over the DTM, you can simultaneously view cut/fill values from your current position to the surface and to the elevation of a point or line.

Now you can even configure offsets for DTM! To set a temporary vertical offset, enter the desired value (up or down) in the survey settings. This feature allows you to work with one DTM file at different stages of a project.

Hello, I am interested in the way of working to calculate volume as you mention in your writing, where I can see a tutorial to carry out this work?

Hi @MikeH!
We’ve prepared the surface stakeout guide. It includes an option to set a vertical offset to work with a DTM.

Hi @Marcel01!
During the stakeout, the app displays the cut and fill values. We’ve described the step-by-step stakeout workflow in our guide.
