I can't find a quick way to do this; I've used the 'Feature Surface' option and inputted spot levels to establish the cut/fill needed to establish the formation level for the construction of a car park. I now want to calculate the fill required to bring the level up to underside of the asphalt. My idea was to use the 'Spread' option to do this because this fill is specified at a constant 6" thick. My issue is that this fill will cover the same area as the cut/fill calculation, but I can find no way of copying the boundary I created when using the 'Feature Surface' option. Obviously i can copy the 'Feature Surface' to a new Construction Phase; but I can't then edit it to use with the 'Spread' option.
Of course, the simple solution is simply to use a calculator to multiply the 2D area of the cut/fill by 6" to generate the volume of fill needed. But I was hoping to be able to show the client a 3D Kubla Cubed model which would show this fill
All answers on a post card please :-)
Thanks in advance
