Fill over vertical cut

[salmanjavaid2000]

Hi guys

I have calculated the value of the cut for footings. Now I want to see the volume of backfill over the footings. How can I achieve this? I have calculated cut using Building pads and phases.

Are you 2 working together with @amarkonathala ? https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-architecture-forum/excavation-volume/td-p/10605194 

Anyways, you have 2 Options:

Option 1:

1. Extract the volume of the Column and the Foundation 
2. Write the values from step 1 to a scheduled project parameter (Category Topography)
3. Create a calculated value = Excavated - Volume Column - Volume Foundation 

Option 2: Create a graph in Dynamo that gets the geometry of column and foundation, creates a solid from both, transforms toposurface to a thickened solid and splits both solids giving you the amount of backfil on top of the foundation less the columns...which is something similar to what @amarkonathala posted on the above link

Nope,

Still I am trying to find out the dynamo graph for that, if you have any script can you share @RDAOU 

Thank you!!

@amarkonathala 

I do but I am sorry I cannot help you with that

Do you need to show the actual backfilling in the model or do you just need to get the volume?

I just want the volume
