Abstract

A method assists during execution of a sequence of cuttings in a tree, wherein, during a cutting sequence, a first cut in the tree is followed by a second cut in the tree At least a part of an ideal course of the second cut depends on at least a part of a course of the first cut. The method includes the steps of: identifying at least the part of the course of the first cut in the tree; precalculating at least the part of the ideal course of the second cut in the tree based on the identified part of the course of the first cut; and outputting cutting information for executing the second cut based on the precalculated part of the ideal course of the second cut.
