You have calculated a cut/fill map and you want to export its volume information for inclusion in a report. The Export Volumes tool allows you to export your cut/fill volumes in a .csv format. Afterwards, you can use a spreadsheet to format the numbers of that file into a table.
Export Volumes is found in the Cut/Fill group of the EXPORT tab and is only available to use if at least one Cut/Fill calculation is visible in the project.
Overview
Quick Usage Guide
- Tick the Cut/Fill items that you want to export in the Project View.
- Go to the EXPORT tab and click Export Volumes.
- Select the name and the location for your .csv file.
- Click Save.
- Once completed, you can open the file with the Cut/Fill volumes in Excel or another spreadsheet application and create a PDF Earthworks Progress Report deliverable.
Tips and Tricks
- If you only have one cut/fill Volume calculation to export, it is faster to copy the cut/fill Volume of a single cut/fill item using the clipboard icon in the top right corner of the Information box.
- Use the Extract Cut/Fill Area tool to break down your Cut/Fill Volume items and export the volume values for a specific cut or fill area to a .csv file.
- Use Copy Viewport tool to create a quick visual of your Cut/Fill map with volume annotations included that you can add to a report.
