Hi
Why is there difference in Cut And Fill volumes between Component Quantities and Quantities Report by Named Boundary. ( There are no clipping in my corridor)
Component Quantities:
Cut Volume = 9975.83
Fill Volume = 654.69
-----------------------------
Quantities Report by Named Boundary:
Cut Volume = 10726.38
Fill Volume = 403.35
I am using OpenRoads Designer

Hej,
Component Quantities returns in fact the End Ara Volume - it cuts cross-sections behind the scene, takes CUT/FILL areas on X-sections, distance between them and computes volume. While the Quantities by Named Boundaries relies on mesh volume. With that being said, Component Quantities accuracy depends a lot on the template drop interval in your corridor, it will neither include unsuitable material stripping nor corridor clipping.
Please compare QBNB with Element Component Quantities and not the Component Quantities tool.
mvh,
Adam
