Is it possible to clip a mesh (representing excavation for a bridge pier) to the existing ground surface (terrain) or triangles3D-Excavation_test.dgn?
I want to turn the excavation mesh into a terrain model and use analyze volumes to figure the excavation quantity.
I'm using Power Geopak V8i SELECTseries 4 version 08.11.09.851
The survey file was too big to upload. I tried to upload only the triangle file but it's too large also. Can I email you the file or get it to you some other way? File size is 23.6kB.
Survey_3D-001.dgnYou're correct. I've attached a clipped terrain file.

I am using the OpenRoads tools in PowerCivil 8.11.9.845 - which are the same as you have in GEOPAK (and MX, which I normally use).
Anyway, the attached PDF is how I calculated the cut volume (at least, what I think is the cut volume you are talking about!) using two different methods.
Hope it helps.
