Cut/Fill Centroids

Function

This command finds the centroids for each cut and fill area between two tin surfaces (.flt or .tin files), with options to draw centroid boundaries, label centroid amounts, and hatch the areas. Included is a routine to find the optimum movement of the cut to fill volumes which minimizes the total volume distance moved. This routine finds all of the areas of cut and fill, and it locates the center of mass, also called the centroid or center of gravity, for each area.
