"Calculate Volume" dialog.To calculate the volume between two files, select the "File Volume" tool that is shown above. Alternatively, from the "Productivity" menu, select "File Volume". The "Calculate Volume" dialog will appear.The "Calculate Volume" dialog is used to select the files to calculate a volume. To calculate a volume, perform the following steps:
Select the required file that is listed in the "From" table.
Select the required file that is listed in the "To" table.
Select "OK" or "Apply" to calculate the volume. The "Volume Display" dialog appears. Note: "OK" and "Apply" are only enabled if a volume can be calculated using the selected files. The two different files must be selected from the two lists.
Select "View Saved" to view any saved values for the selected file pair. Note: The "View Saved" button is only enabled if there is a saved value for the selected files."Volume Display" Dialog

Volume Display dialog.The "Volume Display" dialog appears when an operator selects "Apply" or "OK".The "Volume Display" dialog displays the results of the volume calculation. The file name and paths are displayed along with the areas and the area that the files overlap. "To Cut:" is the amount of material that must be cut to get from the "From:" file to the "To:" file. "To Fill:" is the amount to be filled. The "Cut" and "Filled" values are the difference between the current "To Cut:" and "To Fill:" and the saved values.By default, the area of the "To:" file is not determined since the "From:" file determines the extents of the search. The overlap area is where valid values are in both the "To:" and "From:" files. In the example above, all of the "curelev.cat" file is inside the "d11_pit.cat" file. The overlap area is the same as the "From" area. This area is significant when comparing saved values. If the area changes, cut and filled values may change only because more area was used to calculate the volume. The area of the "To:" file may be determined using the "Find Area" button. If the "To:" file is an elevation design, this number will not change.The "Save" button saves a value for the file pair. The last time the value was saved is reported in the lower left corner. Only one value is saved per file pair. By default, five file pairs may be saved, but this number is configurable. The value is not stored in the productivity file. The value will be restored when the on-board software is restarted. The "Close" button will dismiss the "Volume Display" dialog.
