Accurate Terrain Cut and Fill
-
Hi,
I'm just having messed up all my week modelling cut and fill from scratch calculating the volume balancing cut and fill volume. My mentor want to have a 50/50 cut and fill on terrain so there will be no less or excess on disturbed soil. I just want to know if there is any site grader calculator plugin where I can positioned my building enter the amount value of cut and fill and the program will automatically compute how deep or how high the building will be on the surface terrain. I already know the Chuck Vali Site grader but what I was looking is terrain grader with accurate data like volume of cut and volume of fill and can be exported to excel. If theres none, can I or we request someone to make a plugins for that matters, cause this will be a big help not just in field of civil but also early simulation of projects for architects. Thanks

there other terrain plugins too
hopes this helps -
That script is pretty dated - newer versions of SketchUp allow you to get the volume of a selected solid group/component directly in Entity Info.
This manual example is really what you are seeking to be automated ?
