Draw boundaries around structures like building pads, roads, or heavy-duty concrete sections. Assign specific subgrade depths (e.g., 4 inches of concrete over 6 inches of crushed stone) so the system lowers the proposed dirt grade automatically. 5. Running the Calculation Engine
: Using provided templates, you trace existing and proposed contours or mark spot elevations directly on the plan.

: A major upgrade in V3, allowing users to input specific elevation points and triangulate them to build a 3D topographic model.
The plugin includes specialized views on the "Estimating Tab" that toggle between Imperial and Metric units instantly. These layouts are designed to organize your data into clean, exportable grids for Excel. Draw boundaries around structures like building pads, roads,
PlanSwift Earthwork Pro v3 uses the (or Borrow Pit method) to calculate volume. You overlay a user-defined grid (e.g., 10x10, 20x20, or 50x50 feet) onto your site plan. The software samples the existing grade vs. the proposed grade at each grid intersection to calculate the volume of each prism. v3 handles irregular boundaries and intermediate spot elevations with higher fidelity than previous versions.
Draw the perimeter of the work area to confine all calculations to the property limits. Running the Calculation Engine : Using provided templates,
The mistake: You calculate 10,000 BCY of cut and 10,000 BCY of fill and think you have a balance. The reality: When you cut clay, it swells 25% (12,500 LCY). To compact it back to 10,000 CCY, you need extra material. The fix: Always set your material types in v3 before running volumes. Use the "Balanced after swell/shrink" toggle.
