Calculating area's
Posted: Wed May 05, 2021 4:37 pm
Hi
I wanted to compare the surface area of a point cloud which is of a rough surface, a rock wall, to that of its area if it were flat, I tried to draw lines and then create a mesh between them, but the lines weren't on the same plane so it is a little inaccurate. Is there a simpler way measure the area, or can I set the polylines on the same plane somehow.
Kind Regards
David
