Cut & Fill Plan (Excavation Diagram)

Moez A
Beginner

Hi All,

 

Is there a way in ArchiCad to create a site cut & fill plan using mesh and slabs SEO? Sample drawings attached. 

 

2D fills and approximation have been used to in the attached drawing. 

 

Operating system used: Windows

SEOs do not show in plan.

But any changes you make to the mesh contours will show.

Duplicate the mesh so you have the original contours if you ever need them (you will probably have a 2D drawing of the original site anyway as in your image).

Then edit one of the meshes by adding new contours and elevating them to the correct levels to form your cuts and fills.
