I would like to request the import of the contour volumes of other pix4dsurvey works. There are many calculations that are repeated weekly, this would save us a lot of time when calculating the volumes of the couplings.

Hi @Juan_Alberto_Llorens,

At the moment, you can export a volume as DXF, and that will export the 3D base of that pile or hole. You can then import that DXF into another project and use as a base. Does that help?  
thanks, Nate
