Data Export
Export your measurements and reports for project documentation, further analysis, or use in other software.
Use Export in the top bar for measurement geometry, Export protocol for PDF reports, and the profile panel’s export controls for elevation profiles.
Export a measurement protocol — PDF
Section titled “Export a measurement protocol — PDF”- Select a polygon and click Export protocol in its detail panel.
- In Protocol settings, choose a background from the WMS layer dropdown, or leave No layer selected.
- Review the map preview and use its zoom controls to check the area.
- Click Export protocol to generate the PDF.
The report includes:
- Basic information: project, object, company, and user.
- Measurement information: coordinate system, measured layers, polygon name, and area.
- Measurement area map: the view prepared in the preview.
Check your company details in Settings and review the generated PDF before sharing it.
Export measurements
Section titled “Export measurements”Select the measurements on the map, then click Export in the top bar.
If a shape is missing, open Measurements and switch on both its folder and the individual shape. Click the folder icon to toggle folder visibility.
| Format | Description |
|---|---|
| TXT | Point rows with configurable separators and coordinate precision. |
| GeoJSON | A GeoJSON feature collection. |
| JSON-FG | OGC JSON-FG with support for arcs and coordinate reference system information. |
| DXF (ogr2ogr) | Converted DXF export. |
| DXF (offline) | DXF generated directly in your browser. |
| Shapefile | A ZIP archive containing Shapefile data. |
| KML | Exactly one selected line or polygon per export. |
Adjust the options for your format, then click Export.
If the dialog says No measurements selected, close it, select your measurements, and try again.
TXT options
Section titled “TXT options”- Separator: the character separating values.
- Coordinate precision: precision of exported coordinates.
- Include header row: add column headings.
- Spreadsheet-safe text: prefix names and notes that resemble formulas with an apostrophe so spreadsheet software treats them as text. Turn this off when you need unchanged text for re-import into AVAG.
The Preview area shows TXT output once measurements have been selected.
JSON-FG explicitly supports arcs and coordinate reference system information. Choose a format compatible with the receiving software.
KML selection limit
Section titled “KML selection limit”Select exactly one line or polygon for a KML export.
Export elevation profiles
Section titled “Export elevation profiles”Generate an elevation profile from a line, arc, or individual section profile.
In the profile chart panel, choose DXF for CAD workflows or CSV for further analysis. Click enlarge to inspect a larger chart before exporting.
See Measurement and Analysis for generating profiles and cross-sections.
Download photos
Section titled “Download photos”When viewing an image in a PHOTO pane, use its download icon where available.
Download files from a layer
Section titled “Download files from a layer”Uploaded photos and supporting files can also be accessed from the dataset detail page.
Find the dataset
Section titled “Find the dataset”- Open the relevant project and object.
- Locate Layers in this object.
- Click the dataset name to open its detail page.
Use its name, capture date, import type, and status to identify the dataset.
Find and download a file
Section titled “Find and download a file”Look for the file lists:
- Metadata: supporting files, such as positioning information.
- Photos: images uploaded to the dataset.
For entries provided as links, right-click the filename or linked thumbnail and use your browser’s download option, such as Download Linked File or Save Link As…. Files are saved according to your browser settings.
Availability of processed outputs, including orthophotos, DSMs, point clouds, and meshes, depends on your subscription. Processed outputs cannot be downloaded during Trial. See Subscription Plans & Pricing.
Before sharing an export
Section titled “Before sharing an export”- Check that the intended measurements are selected.
- Choose a format supported by the receiving software.
- Review the PDF preview and generated report.
- Keep company information up to date in Settings.
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”Can I export a cropped point cloud?
Section titled “Can I export a cropped point cloud?”You cannot currently export a clipped subset directly from AVAG. A clipbox changes which part of the point cloud is visible; it does not create a downloadable crop.
If you need a specific section exported, contact support to discuss arranging it.
