Subtract surfaces

Subtract surfaces command calculates the elevation difference of all surface points between two existing surface models. It creates a new surface model in the RAM but does not save the surface model file on a hard disk. Use an option from Save surface command in order to save the new surface model.

To subtract two surface models:

1. Select Subtract surfaces command from the Utility pulldown menu.

This opens the Subtract surfaces dialog:

subtract_surfaces

2. Select Upper surface and Lower surface to be subtracted.

3. Click OK.

This opens the Surface Settings dialog:

surface_settings_subtract

4. Select a Type for the new surface.

5. Define a Name for the surface.

6. (Optional) Define a new File name for the surface model file stored on the hard disk.

7. Click OK.

This creates a surface model that represents the elevation differences between the two original surface models.
