Displaying cut/fill
A valid design containing a surface model must be loaded via the Project Setup menu for cut and fill values to be displayed. If the software is not in Measure mode, tap the Home button and then tap Measure. Walk anywhere on the design surface and view the current cut/fill to the design elevation on the Info Bar and Info Panel. The lightbar can be displayed in any of the panels by clicking the down arrow in the bottom or top side panel.
This lightbar indicates whether the surface is in cut, fill, or on grade:
-
Blue = fill (below design elevation)
-
Red = cut (above design elevation)
-
Green = on grade
The lightbar can also be turned off/on in the Panel Display tab of the Map Options by selecting/deselecting the Lightbar checkbox. The lightbar will blink when approaching within approximately 0.33 m or 1 ft of grade elevation.
Audio indicators also will also sound when within 0.33 m or 1 ft of grade:
-
A steady tone = on grade
-
A slow beeping = below grade
-
A fast beeping = above grade
The lightbar sound can be turned off/on in the Design tab of the Map Options by selecting/deselecting the Lightbar sound checkbox.
