I am having trouble verifying earthwork calculations using this tool and need a little help. In particular, the output volumes appear to be the same irrespective of using Quantity Depth. Here is the output from the .vol text file for both runs:
RUN1

Hi Aaron,
the first report states:
Increased Cut After Depth Adjustment = 0.000 Cubic Yards Reduced Fill After Depth Adjustment = -0.000 Cubic Yards Total Quantity Depth Volume = 0.000 Cubic Yards
This would indicate that the Object you are analysing has not had the Quantity Depth set.
Object>Edit>Quantity Depth.
Yep, I know that sounds obvious - but can you check that please?
Hi again,
In the Volumes dialog - what is your From and To Objects?
From Object is typically "Existing Ground"
To Object is the Design Object that has the Quantity Depth set.
If all these are set correctly and you still dont get a result, you may need to post the data.
