Quantity takeoff criteria

[Anonymous]

Hi There,

When I calculated cut & fill volume using quantity takeoff criteria I got cut volume : 214.13 and fill volume 966.13

But when i calculated surface volume of eg and corridor by volume method (by comparing) I got cut volume cut 973 and fill 214. It is almost other way around

I have attached the cad drawing and screen shot of quantity criteria and volume comparsion.

But If i select  eg -  Below , datum corri surf - Above for CUT

eg -  Above , datum corri surf - Below for CUT , I am getting the answer closer to volume comparsion method. But it does not make sense.

Please help How should I do

I really appreciate your help

Anything below EG should be cut, above EG should be fill.  Is it possible that you reversed them in the surface to surface comparison?

Hi Steve,

I checked for surface and it is not reverse. I could guess the approx. quantity from the profile  for cut and fill volume.

But I could not attached the drawing for your review.I don't know why.

thanks

Comparison order matters. Otherwise it reverses the cut and fill on you.
