Volumes
There
are
several ways to generate volumetric calculations within Carlson Civil. Volumes By Layers, Volumes by Triangulation,
Calculate
Section Volumes and Two Surface Volumes (Grid volumes).
Volumes
by
Layers is potentially the quickest method.
It needs no existing data files and creates no files in the
process. You simply specify which layers
to use for each of the 2 surfaces.
Volumes
by
Triangulation uses two triangulated surface files as the source of the
data. These files are created through
the Triangulate and Contour command. You
can choose to create contours in the drawing when you create the TIN
files, or
just create the files without generating contours.
Calculate
Section Volumes calculates volumes by end areas from two cross section
files.
The
Two
Surface Volumes method uses two predefined Surface files as the data
source for
the calculations.
Once
calculated, you can generate Cut and Fill Color Maps, Cut and Fill
Centroids,
and Cut and Fill Labels to illustrate the volumes.
