Special Fill Areas

Special Fill Areas can be used to identify areas to report fill separately. This can be used for areas were a different type of fill is needed. Such as under a building pad. The Special Fill Areas perimeters are defined by user-selected closed polylines. Carlson Takeoff will separate the special fill volume within the Calculate Total Volume Report.
