You can use the Export Labels tool to export your labels as a .csv file and load it into a map generating software.
Export Labels 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 and Select the Cut/Fill items that you want to export the labels from.
- Then in the TOOLS tab, tick the Cut/Fill checkbox to calculate and show labels of cut and fill for the selected items.
- Go to the EXPORT tab and click Export Labels.
- Select the name and the location for your .csv file.
- Click Save.
- Once completed, you can add the .csv file with the Cut/Fill Labels as a layer for use in a CAD (e.g. Civil3D) or GIS (e.g.
QGIS) program.
Tip: In order to work faster, you can select all items in your project that you want to export. Items that do not contain a Cut/Fill calculation will not be exported.
