cut & fill calculation

[jmb123]

Hello,

I'm not having success in getting the cut & fill command to work. I've gone through the steps in the Landmark manual and as best I can tell, I've followed them correctly. I created a seperate file with only the DTM aspects of the design in order to focus on the problem.

I used the 2d polygons to 3d contours command to successfully generate both an existing and proposed DTM. I place the site-modifiers (there are several) on the same layer as the DTM, and it successfully modifies the proposed model.

When I attempt to run the cut & fill command I get a "miscellanous error" message.

What might I be doing wrong?

do you have an exisitng site model and a proposed site model?

Thanks Jonathan,

Yes I did select the creation of both the proposed and existing DTM when I exectuted the model command. My intent was to place both the DTM's and the site modifiers all on the same layer.

P.S. Maybe your version 11 manuals will help me get some of my issues sorted out.

I haven't tested this with version 11, but I know that with earlier versions one thing you had to make sure of was that the boundary of the proposed dtm was completely within the boundary of the existing dtm. Otherwise an error occurred.
