10 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)
Section titled “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)
Section titled “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.
- 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.
