Volume calculation: Slice terrain by sections or height | Pythagoras CAD 2025
With Pythagoras CAD 2025, volume analysis becomes more flexible and precise thanks to the new slice by sections or height feature. This update allows you to divide volumes into custom ranges, giving you both total results and detailed breakdowns tailored to your project.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Draw or select a polygon to define your area of interest.
✅ Access DTM → Volumes and choose Slice volumes using prisms.
✅ Define intervals by entering the number of slices or specifying exact height ranges.
✅ Generate cut-and-fill results divided by your chosen sections.
✅ Export results directly into your drawing for clear reporting and visualization.
Key advantages of this feature:
– Break down large terrain volumes into smaller, meaningful parts.
– Gain detailed insights with custom tabular reports.
– Export clean tables into your drawings with just a few clicks.
– This makes analyzing terrain models more intuitive and gives you the control and clarity you need for professional reporting.
