About Calculating Volumes With the Volumes Dashboard

Use the Volumes Dashboard to analyze volume surfaces and bounded areas within those surfaces.

Using the Volumes Dashboard you can:

  • Calculate volumes in multiple volume surfaces and in bounded areas within the volume surfaces.
  • Save volume information between drawing sessions. The entries you make in the Volumes Dashboard are persistent between drawing sessions.
  • Select multiple surfaces and bounded areas to show in the total volumes graph.
  • Insert a summary of the volumes into the drawing.
  • Generate a volumes report.

Calculating Cut and Fill Volumes

00:04:30

With Audio

Calculate a site's cut and fill volumes and see the calculations change dynamically as you modify the surface.

Each volume surface and bounded area that you add to the Volumes Dashboard has a check box next to it in the Volumes Dashboard. Select the check box next to a volume item to include the item in the total volumes graph, a report, or a cut/fill table.

Note: The total volumes graph does not display a representation of the volumes if no surfaces or bounded areas are selected, if both a volume surface and an associated bounded area of that volume surface are selected at the same time, or if any of the selected volume surfaces are out of date.
