Intersection tool for geometry calculations in Emlid Flow & Emlid Flow 360
A long-awaited Intersection tool is available in Emlid Flow & Emlid Flow 360. Whether you're working from paper plans, recovering lost data, or calculating hard-to-reach locations, the Intersection tool helps you compute new points based on reference inputs.
The Intersection tool supports three input methods:
Distance–Distance
Define a new point based on its distance from two known reference points. This method is specially useful when working from legacy plans or when the target point is physically inaccessible, but distance measurements are available.
Direction–Direction
Use this method to calculate where two directional lines (azimuths) intersect, starting from two known points. It’s commonly used in design-based stakeout or when reconstructing points from partial field data.
Distance–Direction
This method combines a known distance from one point with a direction (azimuth) from another. It’s a flexible solution when working with incomplete or mixed-source data, such as old plans that specify only one direction and one distance.
The new feature is available with the Survey Plan. Get your free trial today.
