I have a subgrade plan with A LOT of existing contour lines.  The program cannot handle the entire plan so I uploaded the section plans (qt 4) and did my cut fill take off on each section.  Does anyone know if the completed projects can be stitched together?  I did it this way also, because when you bring the project into the into the line loading feature and when I attempt to use a filter to extract that particular line too many show up and I am unable to use that feature.  Along with the freezing, this has gotten old.  I can use the calculations of each individual section but I want to be sure it is producing the same numbers as if they were all in one file.  Hope that makes sense.

Hi

I used to be able to cut to the bottom of my excavation with a platform element (FFL - layerworks depth) and got the Cut Volume
Then I added the layerworks up to FFL and got the Import material Volume
I stack my calculations from left to right as I would construct it, i.e. First NGL, then Cut, Then Fill

Now the platform is an absolute element that keep on referring back to GL.
Where do I tell it to calculate from the previous element and not the GL element?
What am I missing?

I am using KC2024 V7.3.8992.25276

Does anyone have advice on how to How to Model Existing Buildings that are to Remain?
Thanks

I'm adding a driveway to a grading plan, but I can't get the arrow to show up for the slope tool in order to adjust it.
Does anyone know what I'm missing..... apart from the arrow!
Thanks

I am doing take off for the first time, running into a roadblock getting the airplane hanger apron to calculate, and not give me a generic error.  It's not flat, so I didn't want to use "platform" I have tried contours and path and continue to get error codes.

Hello,

How can I change the scale of the sections that are created in a DWG drawing? 

It doesn't show correctly and it cannot be interpreted in that way by my client.

Thanks.

I am trying to add a proposed drawing and move it to match the existing drawing location, but I cannot see the pdf drawing because the existing feature surface is on top. How can I hide the surface? Please see the attachment.

Many of you will have been in the situation where you are asked to price a large cut to fill job, where the Client hasn't provided a topographical survey and there isn't time to do a site survey.

Recently I have been using the Defra national LiDAR survey, Defra Survey Data Download to download the survey data into QGIS for conversion into contour lines to upload into Kubla Cubed.

I have also managed to use QGIS to produce a 1 x 1m point cloud for upload into KC, when I haven't got time to label the contours.

However, a word of warning, make sure that the site topography hasn't changed since the LiDAR survey was undertaken!

There is similar LiDAR data available for Wales, View map | DataMapWales (gov.wales) if the Defra survey doesn't cover the area your interested in and probably something similar for Scotland, but I've had no need to look for it.

Maybe the team at Kubla Cubed could look into QGIS further, to explore faster ways to integrate the two programmes.

PS If you are interested in how I process this data, leave some feedback and I will go into more detail if there is enough interest.

Hello,

I am working with a client who uses Topcon for all of his Earth-Moving work. He will need all topographical surveys and plans in Topcon format (.TP3). The go-to software for this conversion from DXF or DWG to TP3 is Topcon 3D-Office. Topcon's MAGNET Office can also be used, and is the later software for performing file conversions.

When I attempt to import a DXF from Kubla Cubed into MAGNET Office, (R13 or R14 type DXF formats work the best) The contour lines all transfer over, but only the first polygon surface section will transfer. I have not found a way to get the entire polygon surface to transfer. Perhaps this is still a file format issue.

Also, if I try to import into Topcon 3D-Office, the contour lines will transfer in. When I try to add the TIN from the DXF, and error window appears saying "DWG file has no 3D face entities!"

I must assume that the polygon surface generated by Kubla Cubed, is perhaps a different type of surface than what Topcon is searching for. This surface appears just fine in Civil 3D. Topcon seems to be the limiting factor.

I am working with Topcon to try and resolve this issue, but if there is a known workaround in the Kubla Cubed community, that would be a great help.
