Use the Volumes Dashboard to analyze volume surfaces and bounded areas within those surfaces.
Using the Volumes Dashboard you can:
![]() |
![]() Calculate a site's cut and fill volumes and see the calculations change dynamically as you modify the surface. |
Each volume surface and bounded area that you add to the Volumes Dashboard has a check box next to it in the Volumes Dashboard. Select the check box
next to a volume item to include the item in the total volumes graph, a report, or a cut/fill table.
Analyzing Surface Volumes using the Volumes Dashboard
You can add multiple volume surfaces to the Volumes Dashboard for analysis.
After you have added a volume surface to the Volumes Dashboard, you can add a bounded area by selecting an existing object in the drawing to define the boundary.
The Volumes Dashboard Command Settings control the default settings used in the Volumes Dashboard, such as cut and fill factors and the colors used to highlight the surface and bounded areas in the drawing.
You can insert a summary of volume data into the drawing.
You can generate a report from selected volume surfaces and bounded areas in the Volumes Dashboard.
