Cut Sheet

This command compared a base grade section (.SCT) file with a final grade section (.SCT) file. It then reports the cut or fill values between these two sections files. The cut and fills are calculated at offsets in a specified range of stations. The offsets can be entered either as values (ie. 10) or by grade IDs (ie. "EP") when the section has descriptions on the section points. The report shows a column of cut and fill values for each offset as shown below. The two section .SCT files should have matching stations, because the program compares the offsets and elevations of a station in the first section file with the offsets and elevations of the same station in the second section file. The Report Formatter option allows for customized reports and output to different formats such as Excel. Otherwise the standard report shown here is generated.
