hi,  
I have an ongoing earth moving project where a survey is required every 2 weeks.  
a volume of earth moved between each survey is also requried.  
is possible to calculate a volume between two pix4d mapper surveys?

Hello there,  
You could do the individual volume calculation on PIX4Dmapper. However, if you use our PIX4Dcloud advanced software, you will be able to compare the volumes from two different projects. For more information visit,
