Resources

1. How to calculate Cut/Fill Balance for your site - Calculate total cut, fill, and balance within any area — and track it across every scan date.
2. How to track material moved between scan dates - Measure how much material was moved between two scan dates for progress tracking and invoice verification.
3. How to compare surfaces and read the heat map - Visualize differences between your current scan and the design grade, original ground, or previous scan.
4. How to track linear footage of installed infrastructure - Track cumulative linear footage of utilities, retaining walls, curbs, and other linear features.
5. How to apply a Bulk/Shrink factor to Cut/Fill Balance - Adjust your fill volumes for soil compaction so you can estimate how much material actually needs to be hauled.
6. How to quantify excavation for remedial grading - Use the Removals tool to measure how much dirt must be excavated to grade an area down to a target elevation or depth, and download the daylight line for staking.
7. How to plan keyway quantities and stake the daylight line - Use the Keyway tool to plan excavation quantities for a keyway or trench and download its daylight line for staking.
