Earthwork Report Options

Use these options to configure what your earthwork report shows. They are available on the Earthwork Report command pane. The Material and Site Improvement Manager icon on the command pane's toolbar gives you quick access to the Material and Site Improvement Managerdialog, where you can define materials to use in earthwork report calculations.

Options

Report Type

Stockpile/Depression - Select to generate a comparison of the volume formed by comparing one surface to a temporary surface formed by the edge points of the surface

A Stockpile/Depression Report uses only one material in the report.

Surface to Surface - Select to generate a comparison between two surfaces

Surface to Elevation - Select to generate a comparison of the volume formed by comparing one surface to a flat plane defined by the user giving its elevation

Note: You can set the name for the difference between surfaces in the Computational Settings > Surface section of Project Settings.

Select surface

Surface/initial

Select the surface on which you want to report. If you are comparing a surface to another surface or elevation, select the surface from the earlier phase of construction.

Final

If you are comparing a surface to another surface, select the surface from the later phase of construction.

Elevation

Pick a point in a graphic view, or type a value for the elevation to be compared to the specified surface.

Boundary

Select the perimeter of the volume you want to use in computations.

Materials

Use in calculation

Check this to open the Native and Borrow boxes, if you are using materials in calculations.

Native

Select the material being excavated from the site, and often being reused as fill material on the site.

Borrow

Select the material that is being brought in from off-site to be used as fill material on the site. Borrow material can be the same as native material.

Volume breakdown

Volume totals only - Select this to report only the total difference between volumes.

By depth increment - Select this to report the volumes in increments. Pick two points in a graphic view, or type a value to specify the depth of the increment.

By elevation interval - Select this to report volume differences between specific elevations. Pick two points in a graphic view, or type a value to specify the distance between elevations.

Index elevation - Pick a point in a graphic view, or type a value to specify the elevation.
