Purpose
To write a file listing differences in level between a ground model and points in a co-ordinate file. The co-ordinates file must be in the KTF .txt format as described for menu item File utilities, .txt Co-ordinate files. This function will compare design levels in the file with a model created from an "as built" survey. Airport approach and take off surfaces can easily be modeled in KTF with the help of menu items 3D utilities, Enquire and define Slope and can resemble a "long thin stadium". If surveyed structures and the tops of trees etc. exist in a .txt co-ordinate file the locations of points encroaching into the take off and approach envelopes will be clearly shown in the output file.
Operation
Select the input file containing "as built" survey data or tops of structures and trees etc.
Enter name for output report file.
Select the model.
The resulting report file looks like this :-
E N L Num. Code Model DIFF.
