Setting up your heatmap
| ℹ️ Note: You must have a From and To surface selected (e.g., two different survey dates) to generate the initial cut/fill heatmap. |
Active the insight: Click the (
) button in the measurement toolbar.
Define the Heatmap area: Choose to analyze the Whole site, or a specific work area by using the Create polygon boundary tool or an existing polygon boundary.
View the heatmap: A heatmap will then generate where orange displays a cut and blue displays a fill. You can customize the color and the deadband in the right-hand panel under Heatmap Settings.
Compare surfaces with AI Cut/Fill
| ℹ️ Note: An active boundary must be selected on the map to start the automated breakdown of your earthwork. |
Select the surfaces (surveys/designs) you want to compare
Click the AI Volume Breakdown button in the right-hand panel to find specific areas of work.
Adjust the appearance: Use the Merge nearby polygons toggle to control how you combine or separate individual piles and excavations.
Review the results: Hover your cursor over any highlighted area to view the Cut (C), Fill (F), and Net (N) volumes for that section. Otherwise, each shape will generate its own labels. As you zoom in or out, these numbers will adjust to give you the right level of detail for your field checks.
| 💡 Tip: Apply density factors for cut or fill in the right-hand panel if you need to adjust totals for material compaction or bulking. |
