After creating a 3d model can we measure the heights of the elevated models . such as for volume calculation it shows the volumes and the surface areas .

You could try the [polyline feature](https://support.pix4d.com/hc/en-us/articles/202560309-How-to-draw-a-Polyline-in-the-rayCloud#gsc.tab=0)&nbsp;to measure heights.

Hope it helps 🙂
