Re: [GRASS-user] Volumes of intersections

2009-01-27 Thread Adam Dershowitz, Ph.D., P.E.
I am still somewhat stuck on this.  I have defined a face (3-d area)  
and it seems that very few of the vector functions can do anything  
with a face like that.

Any other suggestions for doing these types of calculation?

Thanks,

What I mean is if I have a mountain, for example, that is defines  
in one
vector map.  Then, in another map, I define an area (a plane for  
example).

This represents a slice through the mountain.
Is it possible to calculate the volume of the mountain that lies

second plane?  (how much rock is above the slice through it?) It  
seems like

it should be doable, but I am not really sure how to get going.
Any suggestions?
