Calculating Cut-and-Fill Volumes for Area and Line Features<br />

If you have a single area or line feature selected, the Measure Volume option will appear when bringing up the<br />

right-click menu. Selecting this option will allow you to calculate cut-and-fill volumes either within the<br />

selected area or along the selected line feature. For more information about this operation, see the cut-and-fill<br />

section of the Measure Tool help. If you have multiple area features selected you can also calculate the<br />

combined cut-and-fill volume of all of the selected area features.<br />

Working with Feature Measurements (i.e. Length, Enclosed Area)<br />

If one or more area and/or line features are selected, the Add/Update the Measure Attributes of Selected<br />

Feature(s) option will appear when right clicking. Selecting this option will add measurement attributes to the<br />

selected features that do not already have them, or update the measurement attributes of features that do. The<br />

measure attributes include LENGTH for lines and PERIMETER and ENCLOSED_AREA for areas.<br />

In addition to adding/updating the measure attributes for the selected feature(s), the combined length and/or<br />

enclosed area of the selected line and area features will also be reported by this command.<br />

You can also select the Display Feature Measurements option to display a dialog (pictured below) listed the<br />

measurements and attributes of each selected line and area feature as well as the total combined enclosed area<br />

and perimeter/length of the features. This dialog also allows you to easily export the results to a CSV file.<br />

Automatically Inserting Vertices at Line Intersections<br />

<strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per User's Manual<br />

If two of more line features are selected, the Insert Vertices at Intersections of Selected Features option will<br />

appear when right-clicking. Selecting this option will find all intersections between selected line features and<br />

insert new vertices in the selected lines at the intersection locations if there are not already vertices at the<br />

intersection. Once the operation is complete you will also be prompted as to whether or not you want to split<br />

the selected lines at the locations where intersections were found.<br />

This is a very powerful command allowing you to make a line network have node-to-node connectivity and<br />

even make sure that lines terminate at intersections if required for your application. This is commonly used for<br />

making routable street maps.<br />
