Also, when I start the program it always asks to restore from auto recovery rather than offering files to open. Probably a button somewhere I clicked without knowing it.]]>

Does anybody know how to change the background color in a completed cut and fill project so I can copy and display it with a white background?]]>

Perhaps someone can steer me toward to that portion of the user manual (which I have open on another screen during the process) or a video tutorial that will guide me through the steps and explain how it works.

When I click on Add Plans from Site Plan or File, I get the Load Contours dialog box. When I click on New Filter as required to get started I'm automatically in a GUI ADD FILTER box where I have to use a cursor to select as many lines of the type I want to extract. As soon as I click on the first contour I'm told that the filters you have selected do not contain any lines which you can import. As I previously stated, this worked once, somehow...  And now I have the option of selecting options under Entity Types, Layers, Colours, etc. So, I select Lines as the Entity Type and both the major and minor contours under Layers. And nothing happens and I have no idea of what to do next. Item 4, Elevations from the manual is apparently beyond my understanding. There is no information to provide context on what the Not Set values mean or how to use it. I don't need to crop the plan or do any Modifications. In the Original, I hide all layers that aren't the major or minor contours which makes it easier to see those two layers. And I click New Filter to activate the selection cursor, click on a minor contour and am yet again told that there are no lines that I can import. I click export and do so, then Sketchup is launched... I click on Finish and a file that I thought was stripped of everything but contours appears and I looks like I have to start the process yet again.

There's got to be a clear description, written or video tutorial, on how this is supposed to work but I have yet to find it. If there weren't so many people who find this software helpful and fairly easy to use I'd drop it and move on. There's some basic thing I'm missing and hope somebody can point me in the right direction.

All the best,

Are there training videos that are specific to the 2024 version? I believe it to be Lite as it is the free version.

I've had a fair amount of experience with some CAD, drawing and GIS software, so I'm not totally green to this type of software. Just a bit lost and frustrated with this one so far. Have read quite a few glowing reviews so I'm not willing to give up as yet. Hope someone can point me in the proper direction to get myself properly educated.

All the best,

Tom

I'm just getting started with Kubla Cubed and have a question regarding the slope element. After I deliniate a slope element outline, I'm unable to see any of the controls that are used to define the slope incline and elevation.  This includes the 3 Points, 3 Points & Offset, Arrow and Arrow & Offset options. For examples, when I select Arrow, the arrow control doesn't appear on top of my plan. 

Any ideas when these controls aren't showing up for me?]]>

This is usually fine and they will be complete lines, but occasionally lines may have gaps (caused by text or other entities breaking the line in the drawing). As a result, you need to join the two (or more) contour lines to form just a single contour line.

The "Cut" & "Fill" have any effect to side batter?  have any calculation rules?
