How to measure the cut and fill volume in a selected area

Introduction

This article provides a detailed explanation on how to measure the cut and fill volume in a selected area.

By comparing the reference topography data with the target shape, it is possible to determine the excess or deficiency of soil volume relative to the target shape.

5. Confirm the "Source" and "Target".
Calculations are performed based on the selected "Source" and "Target".
Soil volume is calculated using a single representative point on a 50 cm mesh.
