Last Updated: 26 August 2021 For: OptiSurface Designer V3.5+
Overview: Calculates a design for stripping the topsoil. This is useful for landform designs that has heavy cut areas - strip the precious top soil then set aside and work on the subsoil according to the design.
Appearance:
- Calculation Grid Bearing (deg) - Defines the direction of the calculation grid.
-
Calculation Grid Spacing (m or ft)
-
Defines the how far apart the calculation grid is.
- Cut/Fill (m or ft) and Stripping Depths (m or ft) - Edit this table to define the stripping depth for the respective cut or fill.
Once calculation is finished, the Stripping Topography and Stripping Cut/Fill can be ticked ON or OFF in the Project Explorer as shown below.

Finally, the control file can be generated in File > Export Stripping Design...
Note: The Stripping Design is calculated based on the Proposed Cut/Fill Map so it requires a landform design to be calculated beforehand.
