I would like to suggest a possible new feature to Kubla Cubed.
Something to allow creation of notes / assumptions taken in preparation for levels where the drawn information is not sufficiently clear.
Could these be added as a text object on the drawing and expanded / hovered over to show more detail?
Notes could then be referred back to at a later date if questions arise.

I would like to create a third layer in a drawing. The drawing already includes existing elevations and new projected elevations. There are also samples taken that show at different levels how deep you can dig before hitting bedrock.

Is it possible to create a model that shows how deep I can dig at specific points before hitting bedrock and load this data into a machine model?

Howdy,

Is there a feature where you can add a modifier to the cut / fill?
I use an expansion of 1.2 on cut and compaction of 1.4 to fill. I have to pay/transport by loose yards and have to do the math all the time from the Cut & Fill report.

Thank you

Howdy,

I frequently have to determine outlines based on being larger than a design structure. Examples are a building pad needing to be 5' larger than the building on the plan, or a parking lot excavation needing to be a foot larger than the defined parking structure.  Is there an easy way to do this?

Currently, I add measurements all over the place from the designed structure to whatever outline I need. It just takes more time/tedious than I'd like so I'm hoping for a clever solution.

Thanks in advance!

Whenever I generate a CAD file from a Kubla project and it doesn't matter if its just from the existing base or from several levels, I always end up with multiple lines of the same contour line, which gives me significant issues with the CAD software I use.  I've tried using OVERKILL on AutoCAD to remove redundant lines but this doesn't seem to work.

Anyone have any tips for generating contour lines with a single line rather than several?

Thanks!

I have a 3d cad file which I have imported and all the levels have come through perfectly to give a 3d model of the site in Kubla Cubed.
The dwg file covers an area which I need to split into 3 separate sites so that quantities can be worked out separately for each site.

I have tried to crop the dwg file but after doing so, the 3d model still appears and I only want to see part of it for each site.
Is it possible to crop to just the area of the file that I need?

Screen shot included to show the area needed for 1 isolated part of the site.
The remaining area will form part of another project so this will need cropping too

Hello I am new to kubla and was wondering if kubla has a export option where it gives you the whole projects net cut or fill

Hi,

When I import a surface triangulation from Autocad as a landXML file, the triangulation in Kubla seems to ignore the boundaries I set in Autocad. 

For example an "S" shaped driveway would join the extents so it would look like a rectangle. 

Is their a way I can import with the boundaries set so I just have the driveway shape?

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
