Material calcs volume?

[Anonymous]

Hello, i am new to C3D. I am stuck with how i can calculate material volumes for one layer that is between asphalt and existing ground. I made 3 layer assembly with 2 layers of asphalt and 3rd which is crushed aggregate but that 3rd one should be calculated only between those 2 asphalt layer till existing ground. My top asphalt layer follows made road surface

Hi @Anonymous ,

I would create a surface based on proper points or links just like the on image below:

And then calculate the - in this case - fill volume between the EG (base) and the surface (comparison).

Can you post your drawing here?

Thanks Matt, that worked great. I was close with creating comparing surface as you suggested, i just didn't set outer side links in my surface. when i added those it worked out great.
