What it does

Cut and fill volumes between the ground and a reference (plane, lowest, highest, mean, a plane fitted to the boundary, or a second surface) inside a polygon.

Like Cut Fill / Surface Volume (3D Analyst) in ArcGIS Pro and Raster Surface Volume in QGIS. Run by the product's terrain engine on 30 m cells from Copernicus DEM GLO-30 (full resolution): 740 x 930 = 688,200 cells; no model was called.

Cut and fill: the highest summit above a plane fitted to the ground around it

verified: 5 checks passed

Cut 181,458,673 m3 and fill 22,607,436 m3 against the boundary_plane reference (net 158,851,236 m3) over 229.05 ha.

Notes

  • DEM: Copernicus DEM GLO-30 (open data; cached). Copernicus DEM GLO-30: produced using Copernicus WorldDEM-30 (c) DLR e.V. 2010-2014 and (c) Airbus Defence and Space GmbH 2014-2018 provided under COPERNICUS by the European Union and ESA
  • the grid (30 m) is finer than the DEM (30.9 m): values between DEM samples are interpolated
