You are Awesome man, Thanks for the videos, you talk slow and clear which made it really easy for someone like me with English not the first language to understand. I really appreciate your time and hard work
Nice! Great tutorial, thank you for that. I'm searching for a way to do this with facades of a building. With tollerance of 4mm. Do you think Civi3D work for this? Regards, Stijn.
Great video. In the uk with other 3rd party software we have a option that runs all those actions after the import of a stockpile. It is called a "stockpile/void" volume. Import,press stockpile/void. The volume appears. This would be great in c3d.
Jeff i disagree with the creaying of the base for the stockpile. It may not necessarily be flat. We had a similar case where we needed to measure the cut volume from a near by borrow pit. Turned out that the cut extended farter then the original depression in the ground which couls be seen using goole earth. The best solution is to have a topo survey or a drone based point cloud for the base and then compared with the stockpile.top surface.
Great video Jeff, can you make a video tutorial for Civil3D calculating volume from 2 surfaces? I have lots of points taken with my GPS before the road construction and my second file is surveying done after the embankment is built. I would like to combine those two surfaces to get a model from which I can read the volume and cut out my profiles. I think lots of people would be thankful for this since your tutorials are so clear and on point! Thanks!
Hi Jeff nice video . I have a doubt. In your opinion for areal surveying , which app is better while considering photorealistic 3D models capability and accuracy ? Pix4D mapper or recap photo and civil 3D together.
Hello and thanks for your videos, I want to ask you something, how should the computer be configured so that it can work that way? I have an AMD RYZEN 9 3900X processor, GeForce 2060 Super video card, and 64 gb of ram, but my processes are eternal even when my point cloud is smaller than the one you use in your video. greetings and thank you very much
Awesome work Jeff, and much appreciated. My question is regarding Recap Photo projects can no longer be pulled into Recap Pro. I now have to use Recap Photo either thru the online interface or the Recap Photo Desktop to prepare the model for Civil 3D import. Will there be an update to this process, it's much needed. Thanks
Hola Jeff buen video de cálculo de volúmenes atreves de puntos, quería saber si tienes un video don utilices Grading Optimizatión en civil 3d. y tambien decirte que tus videos son de mucho aporte para la ingeniería y uso del programa civil 3D
Thanks.. please give me idea about.. how to calculate the volume of road embankment in layer wise as each layer has 30centimeter height and total embankment height is more than 2 meter... We were restricted to fill for a maximum of 40 cm height at a time. Thanks .in Advance
How long does it take to create the surface from the point cloud? I suspect that you have fast forward the video. I have been waiting quite a while now...
Awesome as always Jeff! I have some questions: What drone was used to capture that point cloud and what's the precision of it (m, cm, mm), can we really trust on it? Is it using ground control points to join the images or just the internal drone GPS? Is there any? Thanks a lot.
Hi Luiz, The data was collected with a DJI Phantom 4 Pro. The Phantom 4 Pro has an integrated 20 megapixel camera that captures lat/long/altitude metadata for each image collected. This metadata was used to stitch the images together. That said, you could also leverage ground control points if you wanted to align the point cloud to other survey collected data. I would encourage you to experiment with the drone hardware you have available to you and compare your results against traditional workflows to determine the best practices for your organization. Thank you so much for your support!
For money saving, you can go with the DJI Phantom 3 Pro. It has the same. The difference is the camera is 12mp + 4K video. I bought mine with a carrying backpack and 4 batteries ($99 a piece). Paid $600 on ebay. Came with different lens filters, and a ton of replacement blades. I also heard the 3 is less than 0.55 lbs., which does not require you to register it. The 4, you do have to register it.
Todd Rogers Thanks Todd! Do you know whats the avarage accuracy/precision of really well done drone surveying compared to more traditional methods? Around 10 cm? Less? From what I know it's better and more precise to use drone together with ground Control points (GPS Post processed) instead just trusting the internal drone GPS to stitch ALL the captured images. Correct me with I'm wrong please. Thanks for your time and info.
To be quite honest, you can get it down to about 5-10cm. I have found that the software used makes a big difference. There are 3 different ones I use. Pix4Dcapture, PrecisionFlight and Drone Harmony. My preferred is the PrecisionFlight. BTW, I use an Android.
Great as always. You stated you were using state plane coordinates of NAD83 Ft. Understood. However, your units are set to Metric from the coords in the left corner. Does this matter? Since this was processed in ReCap Photo in the State Plane CS, I imagine it makes no difference in ReCap, correct? or, is there potential for reprojection?
Good day sir! Yes, from my experience, if the coordinate system is assigned in ReCap Photo, that coordinate system carries through if you open the cloud in ReCap Pro and export a portion of it as a new .RCS. That said, if the exported .RCS is placed in Civil 3D, I would recommend turning on the BING imagery to verify the cloud came in where you expect. Using the dataset and workflow I showed in the video, the stockpile region exported from ReCap Pro falls in the right location when inserted into Civil 3D.
best video ive seen on LIDAR calculations.
You are Awesome man, Thanks for the videos, you talk slow and clear which made it really easy for someone like me with English not the first language to understand. I really appreciate your time and hard work
Yes i also appreciate
You never disappoint,Jerry!! Excellent
Thank you Emmanuel for your support!
I would like to thank my friend for the perfect explanation.
You are welcome!
This is the video I needed. Thanks a bunch
This video covers all aspect of stockpile takeoff..quiet handy.Thanks for professsional explaination.Great as always.
Yes it is.
thanck you for amazing worke ..how i can find or generat the exist surfes style like that you used to belt surfes from point cloud
Thank you somuch. What is program you use export point cold ?
Amazing video. Exactly what I needed.

Hi Robert, You are welcome
This is a GREAT tutorial, thank you so much for taking the time to make this!
Thank you!
Yes it is

Hi Ivan, Does this video help? ua-cam.com/video/1_NeMLI7Is0/v-deo.html
Thanks Jeff. Great stuff...
My pleasure!!
Jeff you're amazing! Thank you for providing such great examples,
Thanks Robert!
Hi Jeff nice video .
I have a doubt.
In your opinion for areal surveying , which app is better while considering photorealistic 3D models capability and accuracy ?
Pix4D mapper or recap photo and civil 3D together.
Hi Jeff can u please share some sample .rcs format file for practice.
Seached a lot no contents is available on net or you suggest some link.
Visit my channel to get everything for practice
Thanks for the videos! BTW can I please ask where did you get the stockpile file from?
Visit my channel and ask me ..i will provide you
Thanks, May I ask what app did you use to recap this photo first before you go to civil 3d?
Hello and thanks for your videos, I want to ask you something, how should the computer be configured so that it can work that way?

Hello Sir, Is it possible to turn google earth image into civil 3D surface?
Yes it is possible
How long does it take to create the surface from the point cloud? I suspect that you have fast forward the video. I have been waiting quite a while now...
It will not more than 15 minutes
Thanks Jeff,
You are the best and can you please provide us The file that you explained in video!! Plz
Visit my channel to get everything for practice
Hei Jeff, Posiible to get the mesh.rcs file? Nice and simple data for demo.
Yes please
Guys, Can someone tell me which application he used to cut the the stockpile at the first step?
RECAP PRO
thank you for information.
Your welcome Edvaldo! Glad to know it was helpful!

nicest work sir
how to calculate a stockpile volume using point cloud data and also create a cross section using same data in civil 3d
Visit my channel for this
Love ❣️❣️❣️
muy bueno!!
It was helpful
sir i want you to be my mentor in this Field, i so love your works. i want to be like you sir.
Thank you so much for your support!

i agree with your job big up
Great video. Only feedback is to talk less.
Yes it is
