How to Utilize Surveyor Forums
How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.
We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

What is the basis for the computation of volumes in surface to surface method? It is the survey points or the contour lines of the surfaces?
hello member,plc share me this program my email [email protected]

Using surfer do the following steps.
1. if you have the csv file then go to GRID then Data, for X select the EASTING for Y select NOTHING and Z for ELEVATION. then press OK to generate GRD report file. save it.
2. Go to Data then Volume, select the generated GRD file then modify the Lower Surface Constant to the desired level of excavation.
3. You are done! You will see from the report the Volume computation using Trapezoidal, Simpson's & Simpson's 3/8 rules for volume comparison.
You can also plot your generated GRD file to contour.... just go to MAP - NEW - CONTOUR MAP ;)
First you need to make two surfaces (One is Bottom Surface and another is Top Surface)
After that go to menu bar (Surface--Utility--Volume Dashboard)
Here you will get the option for compare two surfaces...
I beg to disagree. On the other hand, any surveyor would agree on that the most powerful and flexible representation of a topographic surface is a set of contours compiled by an experienced topographer. Hence, the best volume computation must be based on contour lines. Furthermore, that computation must be based on the accepted property of any surface defined by an adjacent pair of contours, namely that the surface must vary linearly between the limiting contours. Which is the same as to say that the surface must be ruled. Ergo, the most faithful computation of volumes under a topographic surface is obtained when the said surface is ruled, as anybody who has studied Descriptive Geometry should remember.Ā
Voxler can calculate volume from anĀ IsosurfaceĀ module or aĀ FaceRenderĀ module.Ā With anĀ IsosurfaceĀ orĀ FaceRenderĀ module is selected in theĀ Network Manager, click theĀ GeneralĀ tab in theĀ Property Manager. ExpandĀ IsosurfaceĀ orĀ FacerenderĀ respectively.Ā Check the box next toĀ Compute volume to display the volume values. The Isosurface will display the value above and below the specific isovalue. TheĀ FaceRenderĀ module shows approximate volume which is controlled by the blocks that are visible.

Sorry my friend you may read SURFER manual, they are in pdf format all over the net.
