Measure Distances from Points to a Surface

Measure the distance from one or more points to a surface.

Prerequisites:

• surface

To measure distances from one or more points to a surface:

1. Select Points to Surface in Surfaces > View to display the Points to Surface command pane.
2. Click in the From field and then use a graphic view or the Project Explorer to select one or more points you want to measure.
3. In the To field, select the surface to which you want to measure.
4. Click the Apply button.

   Measurement information, including the delta elevation (distance from point to surface), is displayed in the Report Delta Elevations table for each selected point. Note that you can click any column header in the table to resort the rows in the table based on ascending or descending values in the column.

   If you make additional measurements, they are added to the table, which is cleared only when you close the Points to Surface command pane.

5. To view the measurement information in a Points to Surface Results report, select in the table the rows you want to include, or select no rows to include them all, and click the Show Report button located just above the table.

   Note that the report is not stored with the project and is viewable only at this time.

6. When you are done, click Cancel to close the Points to Surface command pane.
