About Volume Reports

The report provides a detailed summary of the volume calculation results. Preparing the report content involves determining the volumes of interest to calculate (input surfaces), specifying the volume calculation options (cut, fill, or both) and optionally block model attributes information.

The report includes the following information:

• List of input surfaces between which the volume is calculated:
  • Number of triangles and vertices for each input surface
  • Input surfaces (that can be terrains or polyhedral geometries, or both)
• Block model information (optional - if a block model was selected)
• Zone of interest (optional - if a block model is selected)
• Volume calculation results (cut, fill, or both)

A typical report can provide the following information organized in columns in a table:

Geometric Input Data	Volume Information Results
Number of vertices for input surfaces (a line per representation instance) Number of triangles	Series of surfaces values accounted for the volume calculation: Surface 1 against surface 2 Surface 1 against surface 2 Surface 3 against surface 2
Total Summary: Total number of points Total number of triangles	For each pair of surfaces or terrains; a couple of 3D shapes: Total cut volume Total fill volume (optional, if selected at the creation of the report) rock category (optional, if block models are selected)
List of surfaces or terrains, and block models if any: Surface area per representation instance Total of blocks within the block models (optional)	Block attributes values: Cut volume (removal of material) Fill volume (addition of material) Rock category Ore concentration by attribute (for example gold, silver, lead)

The units used in volume reports are specified as follows:

• Earth volumes: m^3
• Surface area: mm^2
• Closed surface volume: mm^3

The report and the directory containing support files are saved on the local drive at the specified location.

By default, the report directory is created in the AppData directory.
