Column Parameters |
|
|
Triangle Index |
Creates a numeric index for each triangle that makes up the site model Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) |
|
Existing Surface Area |
Lists the surface area of each triangle in the existing site model |
|
Proposed Surface Area |
Lists the surface area of each triangle in the proposed site model |
|
Projected Area |
Lists the projected area of the common (existing and proposed) site model triangles |
|
Existing Volume |
Lists the volume of each triangle (extruded to the existing site model’s Minimum Elevation plus its Datum Elevation) |
|
Proposed Volume |
Lists the volume of each triangle (extruded to the proposed site model’s Minimum Elevation plus its Datum Elevation) |
|
Cut Volume |
Compares the existing and proposed volume for each triangle in the site model, and displays the extra volume present in the proposed model |
|
Fill Volume |
Compares the existing and proposed volume for each triangle in the site model, and displays the volume removed from the proposed model |
|
Net Cut & Fill Volume |
Lists the fill volume minus the cut volume for each triangle in the site model |
|
Total Cut & Fill Volume |
Lists the fill volume plus the cut volume for each triangle in the site model |

Parameter |
Description |
|
Available Grade Limits Modifiers |
Lists the grade limit-type site modifiers in the drawing; grade limits modifiers are identified by an assigned number |
|
Selected Grade Limits Modifiers |
Lists the site modifiers to be included in the report calculations |
|
Add > |
Adds one or more selected items from the available list to the end of the Selected Grade Limits Modifiers list |
|
Add All >> |
Adds all available modifiers to the end of the Selected Grade Limits Modifiers list |
|
< Remove |
Removes one or more selected items from the Selected Grade Limits Modifiers list |
|
<< Remove All |
Removes all items from the Selected Grade Limits Modifiers list |
|
Show Modifier |
When a numbered grade limits modifier is highlighted, selects the associated site modifier in the drawing, and zooms in so the site modifier is easily identifiable |
|
Modifier Parameters |
|
|
Outside Grade Limits |
Includes all areas of the site model surface without any modifiers |
|
Grade Limits Modifier __ |
Each grade limits site modifier in the drawing is identified with a number. If you have provided a name for the site modifier on the Data tab of the Object Info palette, the name displays in parentheses |
On the Options tab, set the report output parameters.

Parameter |
Description |
|
Show Data for Unmodified Site Model Surface |
When selected, the report includes the entire surface of the site model. Deselect this option to exclude the unchanged surface between the existing and proposed site models from the report. |
|
Create Text File |
Creates a tab-delimited text file of the report, which can easily be imported into a spreadsheet program for further manipulation. Specify the name of the text file and the location to save it in. |
|
Create Triangle Group |
Creates a group containing subgroups of polygons and volumetric data text for each triangle that makes up the site model triangulated network. For complex site models, a significant amount of information is displayed; adjust text size of the entire selected group with the Text > Size command. |
|
Create Worksheet |
Adds a Volume List worksheet containing the volume data to the current file |
