AI Progress Tracking in Propeller

AI Progress Tracking is a powerful feature in Propeller that provides automated cut-and-fill analysis across your entire site. Users can instantly generate a cut-and-fill heatmap with smart polygons outlining affected areas by clicking the button in the measurement toolbar. Each polygon displays cut, fill, and net (C/F/N) quantities, with dynamic labels that adjust based on zoom level—offering a clearer high-level view when zoomed out and more granular insights when zoomed in. This feature enhances efficiency by automating progress tracking and improving data visualization for earthworks projects.

This can also be useful for DirtMate users dealing with constantly changing sites. By creating a seamless, one-click solution to instantly highlight areas of activity.

AI Progress Tracking streamlines site analysis with time-saving automation, eliminating the need for manual polygon creation. It enhances accuracy by providing instant, data-driven insights into site progress, ensuring more precise decision-making. The feature also improves visualization through smart labels and heatmaps, making it easier to interpret changes at a glance. Additionally, its scalability allows it to function seamlessly across large sites, dynamically adjusting detail levels based on zoom for optimal clarity.
