QTO Question

I'm working on a windfarm access track (stone built construction) and have used one of the rehab assemblies and width targets to increase the track to 5m and this has worked well.

 

Referring to the screenshot: the yellow areas are the stone to be imported to complete the road and I assume that these can be taken off easily using the QTO tools but the quantity I really need is the distance down from the road edge and across to the ditch and then along the road to give me an area of geotextile seperator.

 

Is it possible to derive this quantity and if so, how do I do it??

 

Thanks

I have not explored QTO to give a real answer, but would a bpoly work for that qty?

Thank you

QTO would be great for this. However, we have learned it uses the 2D area projected to the XY plane for the Item Area quantity. Therefore your quantity will be incorrect.

I'm assuming that the fabric follows the red lines I've sketched, and that the thickness of the road structure is fixed.  A feature line could be extracted from the bottom inside point of the new structure.  The length of that line mutliplied by the thickness gives the area of the vertical portion of the fabric. 

 

A second featureline could be extracted at the bottom outside corner of the stone, and with some work the 2d area of the surface between these two feature lines could be measured.

Steve and Neil,

 

This request by Neil is what QTO is perfect for, if it worked correctly. Can I ask both of you to submit a classified "Critical"  support request for QTO?
