Hi,

When I import a surface triangulation from Autocad as a landXML file, the triangulation in Kubla seems to ignore the boundaries I set in Autocad. 

For example an "S" shaped driveway would join the extents so it would look like a rectangle. 

Is their a way I can import with the boundaries set so I just have the driveway shape?

I have a subgrade plan with A LOT of existing contour lines.  The program cannot handle the entire plan so I uploaded the section plans (qt 4) and did my cut fill take off on each section.  Does anyone know if the completed projects can be stitched together?  I did it this way also, because when you bring the project into the into the line loading feature and when I attempt to use a filter to extract that particular line too many show up and I am unable to use that feature.  Along with the freezing, this has gotten old.  I can use the calculations of each individual section but I want to be sure it is producing the same numbers as if they were all in one file.  Hope that makes sense.

Hi

I used to be able to cut to the bottom of my excavation with a platform element (FFL - layerworks depth) and got the Cut Volume
Then I added the layerworks up to FFL and got the Import material Volume
I stack my calculations from left to right as I would construct it, i.e. First NGL, then Cut, Then Fill

Now the platform is an absolute element that keep on referring back to GL.
Where do I tell it to calculate from the previous element and not the GL element?
What am I missing?

I am using KC2024 V7.3.8992.25276

Does anyone have advice on how to How to Model Existing Buildings that are to Remain?
Thanks

I'm adding a driveway to a grading plan, but I can't get the arrow to show up for the slope tool in order to adjust it.
Does anyone know what I'm missing..... apart from the arrow!
Thanks

I am doing take off for the first time, running into a roadblock getting the airplane hanger apron to calculate, and not give me a generic error.  It's not flat, so I didn't want to use "platform" I have tried contours and path and continue to get error codes.

Hello,

How can I change the scale of the sections that are created in a DWG drawing? 

It doesn't show correctly and it cannot be interpreted in that way by my client.

Thanks.

I am trying to add a proposed drawing and move it to match the existing drawing location, but I cannot see the pdf drawing because the existing feature surface is on top. How can I hide the surface? Please see the attachment.

Many of you will have been in the situation where you are asked to price a large cut to fill job, where the Client hasn't provided a topographical survey and there isn't time to do a site survey.

Recently I have been using the Defra national LiDAR survey, Defra Survey Data Download to download the survey data into QGIS for conversion into contour lines to upload into Kubla Cubed.

I have also managed to use QGIS to produce a 1 x 1m point cloud for upload into KC, when I haven't got time to label the contours.

However, a word of warning, make sure that the site topography hasn't changed since the LiDAR survey was undertaken!

There is similar LiDAR data available for Wales, View map | DataMapWales (gov.wales) if the Defra survey doesn't cover the area your interested in and probably something similar for Scotland, but I've had no need to look for it.

Maybe the team at Kubla Cubed could look into QGIS further, to explore faster ways to integrate the two programmes.
