Showing Elevation Figures in Cut/Fill Map
This article will discuss the steps in showing the elevation figures in the Cut/Fill Map.
Question:
I have a customer wanting to see a cut sheet like multiplane designs where it shows each cut and fill all the way across the field. Is this possible with Optisurface?
Answer:
This is possible with OptiSurface Designer. Follow the steps below to view the Cut/Fill Map with labels.
1. Right click Cut/Fill on the Project Explorer and select Properties
2. Tick ON 'Show Points', 'Markers' and 'Labels'.
3. Adjust 'Label Size' as desired.
** If points are too close together, recalculate Cut/Fill Map, see next step. **
4. Right click Proposed Topography in Project Explorer and select Recalculate Cut/Fill
5. Adjust the grid spacing to be larger so points are not too close to each other.
Cut/Fill Map will look like this.
Note:
The same can be done with Existing and Proposed Topography by right clicking in Project Explorer and ticking ON the 'Labels'.
