The Section Analysis module generates vertical and horizontal cross-sections through point cloud data to analyse quality metrics such as thickness, slope and layering – particularly useful for tunnel profile inspection, construction projects and geological analysis.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Section Analysis module mainly used for?
Comparing actual blasted or built geometry against the design – for example tunnel profiles, road embankments or other structures where cross-section deviations need to be quantified.
Does the module work for tunnel projects?
Yes, it is one of the main areas of use – see our page on FJD Trion for tunnels and mining for more context.
Can I generate several sections along a long stretch automatically?
The module supports generating vertical and horizontal sections along a defined stretch, which saves considerable time compared with manual section production.
Do I need the Pro version for this module?
Yes, like the other modules, the Section Analysis module builds on the core functions of the Pro version.
Does the module provide quantitative measurements, or just visual comparison?
Both – you get a visual overlay of the sections as well as quantitative measurements of deviations in thickness, slope and layering.
