Defines the depth of cut that will be exaggerated by the defined %.
- Rebalance - Tick this ON to rebalance the earthworks on recalculate using defined parameters as shown below.
Cut/Fill Ratio - Cut/fill ratio = Volume of Cut / Volume of Fill. It is the same as the ratio used in Landform Design.
Fill to Import (m3 or ft3) - Add in a value other than 0 if there are fills to be imported into the field.
Cut to Export (m3 or ft3) - Add in a value other than 0 if there are cuts to be exported out of the field.
Adjust Breaklines - Tick this ON to and allow the breaklines to shift vertically to balance the earthworks.
Note. This tool is mostly used to exaggerate only the fills to account for settlement after landforming.
As an example, if the fill at a point was 300mm after a landform design
calculation, then based on the settings in the dialog in the image above
the fill will be increased by 10% (30mm) to 330mm. This % exaggeration
would be applied at each grid point over the designed area if cut or
fills are greater than the threshold which is 100mm fill and 0mm cut in
the example above.
