Does anyone know how to calculate stripping volumes in Terramodel using IMPORTED points from a topo? I fully understand how to do this with a set stripping depth but it's not the way I need it done. I'm working with all imported points, (subgrade, original ground, and stripping). I've set up my road job and the finished surface is Subgrade.

Thanks

Sorry if I'm teaching granny etc but....

1)Register the stripping surace after the original ground surface
2) associate the material that was stripped with the Original surface
3) associate the cut material with the stripped surface
all as attached screen shot

Further to above post, stripped material will be measured beneath embankments as well as above cuttings
