Survey Commands

Surveyors let you analyze terrain properties.

What Are Surveyors?

Surveyors are Landshape commands that let you extract information from your terrain. You may review your terrain per spot, material, area, volume, or across time.

What Is the State of Survey?

Currently, there are very few Survey commands.

However, Holygon plans to add several new Survey commands.

Planned future Survey commands include:
• Area, Zone and Material Reporting
• Volume Reporting
• Cut-and-Fill Support
• Heatmaps for Elevation, Slope, Aspect, Mass Balance, and more

Also see Survey Overview.

😊 Happy surveying!


List of All Survey Commands
