TOPOLUMA

Features

Terrain analysis software for building sites

Before a survey arrives, TOPOLUMA shows how a site falls: contours, slope and aspect, the height difference across the plot, and sections through the ground.

What you get

Contours
Any interval from 0.25 m to 100 m, index contours and labels, with a suggested interval for the relief.
Slope and aspect
Elevation, slope and aspect diagrams in the Analysis tab.
Across the plot
Height difference and average slope of a parcel once the preview is generated.
Sections
Ground profiles with vertical exaggeration, buildings cut on the line and trees behind.

How to do it

  1. Draw the area.
  2. Set the contour interval and generate.
  3. Draw the parcel in the Parcel tab for its height difference and slope.
  4. Cut sections where the ground matters.

Limits to know

The elevation data is about 30 m in most of the world (SRTM and similar), finer where national data exists. It shows the shape of the land, not retaining walls or small earthworks, and it is not a substitute for a survey. More on the data and accuracy page.
