Can anyone tell me why two simple surfaces that clearly overlap in the vertical and in orbit seem fine give me an error "Surfaces do not overlap"?

I have a design surface and a surveyed surface and I am trying to do my usual cut fill report.
I have never seen this error before.
I have created two tin surfaces that overlap and I am trying to create the tin volume surface to give me my cut/fill numbers.
1) what version are you using?
2) what specific steps are you using to do this comparison?
I just tried it using C3D 2012 and even if I move the proposed surface so that it DOESN'T overlap the existing, I don't get errors although it reports zeros for the volumes. Here's a screenshot and I've also attached the dwg file that I used for testing.

Turns out, i am an idiot.
I copied the survey surface from the surveyors drawing and pasted into my drawing (which i have done before).
This time, it told me to rebuild the surface, so I did.
When I did so, it lost all of the data and the tin disappeared.
The surface that I thought was there was the same area but the previous survey! Thank you for the help.
I shall mark this as solved through stupid...
Don't beat yourself up to bad -- we've all done stuff like that.
But thanks for letting us know it's resolved.
