The output of the command is a depth surface named cube_depth_surface. The surface can also contain additional attributes like Uncertainty, DepthHypotheses and HypothesisStrength dependent on the selected options in the dialog.
The content of the menu
The CUBE dialog for multibeam data and CUBE for XYZ data in a Soundings folder.
Input Data
The Terrain surface part gives information of which surface the command is started from. This is the surface which will be cut during the volumetrics calculation.
The original surface itself will not be manipulated, just copied.The Input data part of the dialog is where to select which data items to be gridded. The CUBE command works with both multibeam data (Survey Line) and with XYZ data (Dataset). Select data items from the list.
The rows X, Y and Z are automatically updated with the minimum and maximum extensions of the coordinates from the selected files.
The Coordinate System field shows the type of coordinate system for the data.
Cube Alogorithm Parameters
...
The calculation of the volumes is done by subtracting the cut surface from the Terrain surface to get the difference surface.
Output
Create Select options for whatCreate the cut surface from polygon data set.
The surface is saved with the name CutSurface in a subfolder named Volumetrics in the same folder as the terrain surface is located.
The Results
After executing the volumetrics a dialog will pop up showing the parameters, result and volumes from the calculations. The report itself is saved in the project structure in a folder named Reports under the same folder as the command is executed from. The report itself is named as YYYYMMDD CUBE (the name of the executed command).
