How to Calculate Slope Area Using Elevation Pro

Estimating materials for projects like pond liners and erosion control fabric requires precision to avoid costly errors. One critical factor in these calculations is accurately calculating the slope area to prevent underestimations and budget overruns.

Using Elevation Pro, users can access the plane area (top-down view) and the slope area (3D surface) calculations. Elevation Pro’s ability to provide precise slope area calculations allows estimators to confidently plan and allocate resources, minimizing wastage and maximizing efficiency.

In this video, both scenarios are shown.

Elevation Pro’s versatility extends beyond pond liners and erosion control fabric. It’s also invaluable for calculating the face of retaining walls, preventing flawed estimations and compromised structural integrity.

By leveraging its advanced capabilities to calculate slope areas and assess retaining wall faces accurately, sitework professionals can streamline workflows, mitigate risks, and deliver projects on time and within budget.
