View 2D Cross-Section and Surface Area

everything gets cut okay so now now is there a way to see this in a two dimensional graph then when you say two Dimensions you mean looking sideways on yeah all right okay so if we if we go back to where we were we actually look at a 3D um view which is the 3D View and then we want to look sideways on and you can see uh it's not so easy in this sunlight but there we can see the horizontal line there and we can see that we've captured below that horizontal that horizontal line indicates from that top point so this will measure both cut and fill simultaneously it'll allows you to instantly change it so if for in this case the homeowner couldn't afford US to excavate 74 cubic yards out for a pond and was like Hey if we make it shallower what is that going to be I can just simply modify my my cut point and it'll tell me exactly how many cubic yards of soil I'm coming out but this will also measure surface Dimensions that are irregular so if we have a slope or a hill and we have these weird wild Contours and we've got to put s on that cuz we're not always putting s on flat level yards sometimes we're putting them on hills with valleys and dips and you have to takes a special kind of measurement to do that can you do that with this well we we take the we do exactly what we've just done here which is we measure the perimeter and then we take these other elevation points and we capture the uh the humps we capture the the dips in the surface and then all we do is we go to the 3D surface map and this now tells us that here 415 Square fet oh says it right there instantly
