Multiple cut/fill for lines

Ice Age Mark

Hello Mike,


Would it be possible to activate the ability to "perform multiple calculations over a range of base heights" for cut/fill along line features, in addition to with area features? It is there, but "grayed out" for line features. I need to get cross-sectional areas for many cross-sections at many different (but repeating) levels. It would be nice to do this automatically and have a list generated like with area features. I presently use the cut/fill feature to get cross-sectional areas by setting the "corridor" as 1 unit wide.


Thanks,


Mark

Mark,

I have added this to the todo list to hopefully be done soon. What you might do now though is simply create a buffer area around your line of the desired size, then do the cut-and-fill volume calculation against the area rather than the line with the corridor width. Then you can do it at multiple heights like you want right now, it just has the extra step of creating the buffer.

Thanks,

Mike
