bddemers Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 After I am done leveling around my house. I need to remove dirt here and there and add dirt to the lower sections. Does Pro tell me anywhere how much dirt I will have to import or export for my project? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidJPotter Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Actually "yes" you can but it is a lot of exacting work. What you do is to make a relationally correct terrain plane of the existing terrain. Do a "Save as" copy of that and then edit the terrain plane to where you need it. You can open the dialog of the terrain plane and on it's "Poly Line" tab will be a reading of the cubic volume which you can compare, subtracting the volume of one from the other to get a figure of difference of volume change.

bddemers Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 No matter what I do to the terrain. The cu volume always is Zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I am not sure you can do what DJP suggested in Pro or CA , he may need to elaborate....... In CA it is possible once you convert the Terrain to a solid , but a terrain perimeter is really just polyline ( without thickness) even though you can alter it for 3D views. In Pro which I think you have?, within each plan see if this works...convert TP to plain polyline , then convert to Slab and check the volumes. Note as a Slab everything will look like Concrete not grass unless you change the material for the Slab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I made a wrong assumption, I am sorry, Kat is correct and I spoke in error. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Don't do what I mentioned on your "good Plan" make a couple of extra copies of you plan to play with , with the Save AS command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
