Hi all,
Yesterday my boss showed me a drawing from an earthworks contractor that
they simply take our EG and FG and make some very pretty graphics-oriented
drawing with colors for the varying amounts of cut or fill needed and shows
in rectangles on a 50x50 grid of what is the cut-fill amount at that
location. As he was talking about this, I was thinking to my self that WE
should be able to do this with Civil3D - and it's just a matter of styles to
play with. The gotha on this, and thus the reason for the post is that this
contractor also accounts and give a number in CU FT the amount of topsoil
that is being removed. I'm not sure how to automate this process. I believe
the software that this contractor is using is called either Paydirt or
Insight.
Any ideas on how to replicate this so that we don't have to pay this
contractor to do something that we can already do in Civil3D or am I blowing
smoke?
Thanks,
