Create Cut/Fill Map between Surfaces

The following issue was submitted to Bentley Technical Support.  This issue has been transferred to this forum so that the community can benefit from the troubleshooting techniques and resolution.


I'm calculating the volumes of two surfaces and I need to generate a cut and fill map. I calculated the volumes, how do I generate a cut and fill map?

  • I guess that you can display contours with PowerSurvey, can't you?Try to go to surface, View Surface, View Contours then go to Advanced Tab, and set  Elevation limits (high and low). Alternatively you can display all contours and delete all which are not at 0.0 elevation.

    Take notice that I can not check whether that that will work with Powersurvey as I am running InRoads.

    The PowerSurvey SS2 DTM tools are the same as InRoads SS2, but not all are available.

    After doing the isopach command, the resulting DTM can be displayed with "Display contours" . If the first and second DTM are really cutting themselves, then   the 0-Zero contour can be displayed only when setting a huge intervall value, like 1000.

    There is a open CR for doing:

    • Isopach command
    • displaying 0 zero Contour and
    • Cut and Fill Shaped areas
    • calculation cut and fill volume
    • dividing cut and fill surface in two own DTM-files, with correct exterior boundaries

    within one seamless work flow
