Cut and Fill worksheet

[Mat Caird]

Hi All

 

How do I get a simple cut and fill worksheet same as shows up in the OIP when the site model is selected?

I've tried the AEC|Terrain|Create Site model Volume List but the result is zero, even though the OIP shows the values.

 

Thanks in advance, Mat

='DTM6'.'Cut Volume' and ='DTM6'.'Fill Volume' should work.  You have to make sure you have the cut and fill updated before you recalculate the worksheet.

Thanks Michaelk, this worked a treat.

I used screenshots to show the cut and fill images.

The "Create a Snapshot" didn't work as I expected - when I deleted the Grade Limits Site modifier (ie the modifier responsible for the Fill), the snapshot changed.

I'd be interested in feedback on what the "Create a Snapshot" feature could be used for.

(There are some other steps I've ignored to keep my question concise).

Regards, Mat

I never really use them but I think a Snapshot can be described as being like a viewport of the Site Model on the design layer: it allows you to create duplicates of the Site Model + display different info/characteristics each time. So for example you could have your main site model then a duplicate snapshot of it displaying slope analysis or whatever, and have this on different classes so that in SLVPs you can display either the 'normal' site model or the slope analysis version. So given this it is right that the snapshot updates to reflect changes made to the main site model as they are one + the same.

totally off topic,

 

but in my first practical work in an architectural office the "CEO" himself

told me that it is so pity that planned slopes always looks so artificial.

While in nature the upper edge would erode over time, while the eroded

material will flow down and fill the lower edge to get an even more

rounded radius ....

And you would get a nice pleasing curve in Section.

 

And he told me that he always propagated for this, e.g. for slopes

beside highways, but he was told it was never acceptable because of

moving the grass with machines.

And this is what I see along any infrastructure project until today and

for any Software's DTM.

I try to counteract with manual additional 3D points or 3D linear polygon

lines any time - but no one seems to honor it.
