Can I Load a design surface to PIX4DCloud

We would like to be able to calculate volumes between a design model and a DSM. Is it possible to load a design surface model and if so, what format should it be in? If not, can we “trick” the program into thinking a design DSM is really processed data from Pix4dMapper?

Hi Sam,

Welcome to Pix4D Community.

I am not sure if by

Is it possible to load a design surface model and if so, what format should it be in?

you are referring to adding a base surface for calculating volumes. If this is the case, this isn’t possible yet, but we have it in our roadmap. If you are referring to something else, please could you explain a bit more in details?

I am looking forward to your response.

Have a great day.

Best regards

Thanks, this function would be very useful. Being able to load a design surface would mean we could calculate how much cut and fill is required to complete a project.

I agree that it would be extremely useful to be able to upload a design surface in order to complete volume calculations as well as cut cross sections to compare the design surface against the DSM. It would change how we use the cloud platform.
