Surface Volume
To estimate the cut / fill volumes for the surface according to specified parameters.
- In the Input tab:
- Click the first drop-down button to choose a surface used in calculation.
- Select Design Surface to specify the surface whose volume is the target value to which the calculation is made. Enter an existing surface name manually or select from the list
of job surfaces. The preview panel displays the selected surface in the horizontal plane.
- Select Original Surface to specify the surface whose volume is the base value from which the calculation is made. Enter an existing surface name manually or select from the list
of job surfaces. The preview panel displays the selected surface in the horizontal plane.
- Click the second drop-down button to select a parameter or an object for calculation of the cut / fill volumes for selected Design or Original surface.
- Min Elevation - the volume is calculated to the horizontal plane at the minimum elevation of the specified surface.
- Max Elevation - the volume is calculated to the horizontal plane at the maximum elevation of the specified surface.
- Boundary - the volume is calculated to the virtual surface generated only from the points that form the specified surface area boundary.
- Fixed Elevation - the volume is calculated to the horizontal plane at the user defined elevation. Enter the elevation value in the editable field. To set the elevation of a specific point as the fixed elevation, select this point from the map
or from the list
of the job points.
- Plane - the volume is calculated to the existing plane. Enter an existing plane name manually or select from the list
of job planes.
- Original Surface / Design Surface - the volume is calculated to another surface. Enter an existing surface name manually or select from the list
of job surfaces. The preview panel displays the selected surface in the horizontal plane.
- Road - the volume is calculated to the surface of a road. Enter an existing road name manually or select from the list
of job roads. The preview panel displays the surface of selected road in the horizontal plane.
- Click the Calc
button to calculate cut / fill volumes for the specified surface according to chosen parameters and open the Results tab.
- In the Results tab, review the results of the calculation and click
to save the data to a *.txt file if required:
- Design - the type and name of the object or the parameter and the value to which the calculation is made;
- Original - the type and name of the object or the parameter and the value from which the calculation is made;
- Cut - the estimated volume required to remove;
- Fill - the estimated volume required to add;
- 2D Area - the projected area in 2D for calculated volume;
- 3D Area - the surface area in 3D for calculated volume.
