Side by side
- 1
Open the spot you want to check, start the comparison view and choose a capture date for each pane. (UI may differ)
The same viewpoint on two dates, side by side - 2
Both panes stay locked together as you pan and zoom, so you always look at the same spot. Confirm work reported as complete actually is.
- 3
Every comparison is timestamped, so you can share it or add the pair to a progress report.
Time Compare on point clouds
- 4
Open a survey with point clouds from two dates. Both scans must be georeferenced and belong to the same project.
- 5
Draw a box around the area you want to analyse. This is the monitoring zone.
The monitoring zone drawn on the point cloud - 6
Start Time Compare. Confirm the earlier (reference) and later (current) point clouds, then click Compare.
Choosing the two point clouds to compare - 7
When processing finishes, the zone shows a colour heatmap of material removed (cut) and added (fill), with the net volume change in m³ and the height change in m.
Time Compare Analytics: the heatmap and volume summary - 8
The results are saved with the survey, so you can come back to them, and you can export the summary to back a payment application. (UI may differ)
Good to know
- Organization Admins and Supervisors can run a Time Compare. Members can view the heatmaps and figures.
