Just an update, if I use the site modifier tool (Bulldozer?) to create a fence and group it with the "modifier" data points, and give no boundary to the initial survey I get a cut value of 0.0000.

Hi all, I had a look through the forums and although there was alot of detail about site models and cut and fill calculations, I just can't seem to get mine to work. Here is what I have done: 1) Import initial survey data (3D loci) and created a site model with a boundary 2) Imported new survey data (after soil removed from the site) and set these to the site-dtm-modifier class and set them to be included as modifiers in the model. 3) Take the boundary, duplicate it and set it to the site-dtm-modifier class also. 4) Update my model, and I get both proposed and existing contours. However when I turn on cut and fill calculations I get Has anyone experienced similar problems? Or can anyone give me some advice as to how to get around this. Thanks, Pat

Thanks guys, that worked perfectly! (Well, after I had rechecked my spelling a few times and seen that I'd spelt Extrusion wrong!!)

Hi guys! I've bee trying to make more use of the Spaces tool in Vectorworks. I can set up my spaces and link SOME of the Record Information (such as the space name and room dimensions) into a worksheet. However, I've been having trouble linking certain information, mainly the Ceiling Height of the space. The ceiling height is 2.4m on the Obj Info palette, but when I use the command "=(Space.'Ceiling Height')" it returns a value of 0. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm getting frustrated with it now after two days of trying!! Pat
