This command allows the user to select two polylines representing an existing grade section and a final grade section, and calculate the end area. Or you can also specify and define cut/fill end areas by picking interior points. The area calculated can be drawn at a user specified point. Optionally, the command writes the stations cut and fill to an earthwork (.EW) file that can be printed/displayed by the Print Earthwork File Report command. This command starts with the Calculate End Area dialog.
Horizontal Scale: Specify the horizontal scale of the
existing
cross section.
Vertical Scale: Specify the vertical scale of the existing cross
section.
Text Scale: Specify the text size scaler, this value is
multiplied by the horizontal scale to
determine the final text height.
Station Interval: Only available if Write Results to EW File is
toggled on. Allows you to
specify the station interval that the station prompting will default to
as you select the
polyline/sections for computation.
