Excavation Volume

[amarkonathala]

Hi, there I need to find out the excavation volume is there any way to get that,

Can you please check this below link for the reference

Hi, @amarkonathala, it's not much easier to make a cut/fill topography schedule and add/subtract column volume by calculated/combined parameters? Why use Dynamo to do this?

Thank you for reply, I need the volume on amount of that are filled to the Foundation,

By removing Foundation volume from the excavation volume we can get it, But I am trying to find out this in the dynamo can you help me out with this

Your question is fairly explained in this video:

Hope it helps,

Hey I done from that video only!, Got some error, 

[jvpantin2]

It usually happens when copying a Dynamo script from tutorials. Review node alerts, probably there are coincident parameters. I still don't understand why do it with Dynamo instead of Revit shcedule...

Maybe this will help...

Searching for a dynamo graph to obtain exact Fill Volumes,

Building pad doesn't give an exact volume i think so...

@amarkonathala 

Neither does that dynamo you posted...it is approximate considering that no excavation is really that tight and rectangular. 

That graph basically calculates the backfill on top of the foundation less the column volume..

I need the volume like this, that was possible by dynamo i am doing some mistake on that graph, results getting an error

That graph doesn't give you that volume...If you are not into dynamo, it might be a good idea if you model that simply in Revit. You can add the excavation/back-fill geometry into your column and Foundation families as nested shared components. Using shared parameters  you will be able to calculate your excavation and back-fill using a multi-category schedule.
