Hi,
The unit of Analyze Volume tool may have a little bit issue.
The following is a test model:
It is a rectangular site in which every length is 20m, and its elevation is 180.0m, from the below picture, the elevation of existing ground is 174.00m, so it is about 6 meters high.
Firstly, the Apply Linear Templatetool is used to generate the slope model, and then create design terrain from slope model to calculate the cut and fill volume.
The Analyze Volume toolwill be used to calculate volume:
Method: Terrain model to terrain model volume
Local from terrain model: the existing ground terrain is selected
Local to terrain model: design terrain
From the result, it is obviously wrong.
But with the other tool: Create cut fill volumes, the result is right.
From the 2 results, the unit issue of the software should be found.
Another question:
Normally, the Element Selection tool will be always on, but, in OpenRoads designer, sometime the tool is suddenly off, even if restarting computer.
How to turn on this important tool?
Thanks!
