Volume Region

I have just purchased the 2019 version and successfully created the surfaces. Often time, we need to know the cut and fill for many regions in a project because they all have different production.
However, I have problem creating volume regions. I created the first volume region with no problem. However, when I start adding new region beside the region, I always get an error "validation of breakdown fail" or something like intersection end. I tried snapping to the adjacent region or leaving a gap between the boundary, the same error show up. I was successful last week that a second region was created without touching the boundary of the adjacent region; however, when I open up the project again today, the validation error was displayed. I have spent hours trying to figure this out but with no success. Please provide your advise, thank you.

Hi Chi

Welcome to the forums.  We are aware of some of the problems relating to doing a volume region breakdown.  It was only introduced in V5.0 and is quite a complex computations to break the triangulation into separate chunks. We fixed a couple of problems in the latest released V5.10.  Have you upgraded to the latest version.

If you have and you're still have issues please send them to the support e-mail address (you can find it on the contact page of our website).

Snapping should work although we have a few examples were it hasn't and we are going to do an investigation so would appreciate your projects to add to the test pool.

If we can look at your project we can usually find a solution.
