This command will read two section files and compute the cut and fill end areas and volumes. It computes the sections volume in the order they appear in the file. If you need to sort the stations in sequential order use the Input-Edit Section File command. Begin by selecting the base section file then the final section file. After specifying the input files the Calculate Section Volumes dialog appears. The settings can then chosen and customized to match your reporting needs. There is an option to apply topsoil removal/replacement adjustments, as well as support for processing sections with subgrades.
Range of Stations to Process: Specify the range of stations
to process. Separate stations with
a hyphen as shown.
Cut/Fill Starting/Ending Sta.: Volumes are calculated using end
areas between the range
of stations. Instead of cutting off the volumes exactly at this range,
the Ending and Starting
Stations for Cut and Fill can be used to have the volume taper from
zero at the specified Starting Station
to the volume at the first station in the range. Likewise, the Ending
Stations can be used to taper
the volume from the last station in the range to zero at the specified
Ending Station.
Fill Shrink/Cut Swell Factor: Allows
you to specify a value that the volume calculated will
be multiplied by.
Report Precision: Specify the display precision for the report.
Calculate Centroids Using Centerline: When checked, the program
will calculate the
centroids using a centerline (.CL) file. you will be prompted to select
the centerline file.
Report Centroids: Specify whether or not to report centroids.
Use Rock Section for Rock Volumes: When checked, you will be
prompted to select a third
section (.SCT) file that will be used to calculate rock quantities.
Report Cut/Fill Text: Specify whether or not to report cut/fill
text.
Extend Shorter Sections to Longer: If checked, shorter sections are
lengthened to the same
left and right offset extents as the corresponding longer sections.
Interpolate Missing Section
Stations: If checked, the missing stations are accounted
for in the calculations.
Select Topsoil Adjustment File: Specify an optional
profile (.PRO) file for
haul data output.
Select Mass Diagram Output File: Specify an optional profile
(.PRO) file for
haul data output.
