Cut
& Fill
In minutes, Cut & Fill determines quantities at
an accuracy level difficult to match using manual
takeoff methods. And a more accurate earthwork estimate
means less money wasted on costly mistakes.
This is the application to quickly calculate cut,
fill and strip quantities by simply digitizing the
boundary of work, contours, layers, and elevations
for the existing and proposed surfaces. The software
then determines the cut and fill quantities and graphically
displays the results.
Features
and efficiencies
- Interfaces
with Sage Timberline Office Estimating and Digitizer software.
- Compatible
with virtually any digitizer hardware that uses
a 32-bit WinTAB driver.
- Provides
support for Windows-compatible plotters.
- Calculates
cut and fill quantities almost instantly using contour
lines, sloping lines, elevation points, layers,
and structures.
- Lets
you define and save multiple boundaries and perimeters
as Areas of Interest.
- Automatically
adjusts for soil shrinkage and expansion.
- Displays
contours as they are traced to provide a visual
check of your work.
- Uses
the grid cell calculation method for maximum accuracy.
- Provides
cross-sectional display of all surfaces.
- Calculates
substrata volumes by tracking multiple surfaces
per drawing.
-
Allows you to create and store an unlimited number
of surfaces and drawings for each project.
- On-screen
zoom-in capabilities.
- Stores
project description, location, estimator, plan number,
and bid date.
- Automatically
adjusts for topsoil removal and replacement.
- Displays
and magnifies surfaces in 3-D graphics.
- Offers
user-defined elevation ranges to protect against
input errors.
Reporting
- Grid
Values Report shows detailed elevations for each
grid cell of a selected surface, both calculated
and actual, allowing you to double-check data accuracy.
- Total
Volumes Report compares two surfaces for each drawing
and gives a tabular summary of cut and fill volumes
for the site or specific area of interest.
- Areas
and Volumes Report displays the area and volume
of each enclosed entity (layers and structures)
for a single surface in a tabular and/or graphical
form.
- Cross
Sections Report compares surfaces and allows division
of site into cross sections for error-checking or
to view the locations of cuts and fills.
-
Site Balance Report compares two surfaces and calculates
the amount to raise or lower the proposed surface
in order to balance the site.
- 3-D
Views give you presentation quality dimension and
a convenient way to select a single surface, or
view the difference between two surfaces to check
for errors.
