Data Export

Once you’ve completed your measurements, AVAG makes it easy to share the results, whether you’re handing off a report to a client, importing data into CAD software, or archiving a project milestone.

Exporting a volume report (PDF)

The most common export is the measurement protocol, a ready-to-share PDF that documents everything about a volume calculation in one place.

After running a volume measurement on a polygon, you’ll see the full results in the panel on the right: total volume, fill, cut, areas, and the layers that were compared. At the bottom of this panel, click Export protocol.

Before the PDF is generated, AVAG shows you a preview of the cut/fill map that will be included in the report. This gives you a chance to confirm the measurement area looks correct before exporting.

The exported PDF includes:

• Basic information — project name, object, company, and user
• Performed measurements — coordinate system, the two compared layers, polygon name, area, total volume, and fill/cut breakdown
• Measurement area map — a visual of the polygon overlaid on the DSM colour map

The report is branded with your company details and is ready to send to clients or attach to project documentation without any extra formatting.

Exporting measurements (Shapes, Lines, Points)

If you need your measurements in a format that works with other tools, click Export in the top navigation bar. Supported formats include DXF, GeoJSON, Shapefile, TXT, and KML, so your data is ready to open in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, QGIS, Google Earth, and most other tools your team might be using.

Tips

• The PDF report pulls your company name and user info from your account settings. Make sure these are filled in before exporting reports for clients.
• You can run volume measurements on multiple polygons and export them all at once using the batch volume report, which consolidates everything into a single PDF.

How to download files

Every file you’ve uploaded or generated in AVAG, from raw photos to metadata files, can be downloaded through your browser. AVAG doesn’t have a dedicated in-app download button; instead, you download by right-clicking a file and using your browser’s native “save” action.

Step 1: Navigate to the layer

Files live at the layer level. To get there:

1. From the Dashboard, find the project card you want and click the card.
2. On the Object page, scroll to Layers in this object. This table lists every dataset uploaded to that object, with columns for ID, Name, Capture date, Last change, Person responsible, Import type, and Status.
3. Click the name of the layer you want (e.g., “BLINK_pano_HQ2”) to open its detail page.

Tip: If you’re not sure which layer has the file you need, check the Import type and Status columns first. A green “PROCESSED” badge means the layer’s outputs are ready.

Step 2: Find the file

On the layer detail page, files are listed in two places below the Upload Photos panel:

• Metadata — supporting files like positions.txt or other metadata used during processing.
• Photos — the individual images uploaded to that layer.

Each entry shows the file name, upload date, and size.

Step 3: Download the file

AVAG relies on your browser’s link handling for downloads, so there’s no “Download” button to click:

1. Right-click the file name or thumbnail you want.
2. Choose your browser’s download option:
   • Safari: “Download Linked File”
   • Chrome / Edge: “Save Link As…”
   • Firefox: “Save Link As…”
3. The file saves to your device’s default downloads location.

Note: This works for individual files (photos, metadata). For full processed outputs (orthophoto, DSM, point cloud, mesh), the same right-click method applies, but availability depends on your plan; the Trial plan does not support downloading processed data. See Subscription Plans & Pricing for details.

Downloading multiple files at once

If you need several files from the same layer, right-click and download each one individually using the steps above. AVAG does not currently offer a bulk “download all” action for layer files.
