Volumes need to be recalculated after you make a modification to the Elevation Terrain. The Recalculate Volume tool allows you to simultaneously update multiple Stockpile and/or Cut/Fill items in one click. You can find the Recalculate Volume button in the TOOLS tab for a Stockpile or Cut/Fill item, when a recalculation is required.

Where to Use the Recalculate Volume Tool

  • After stockpile volume calculations, you figure out that the terrain requires some more cleaning (machines removal, conveyors removal, etc.). 
    • You can use the Replace Terrain tool to cleanup your Elevation Terrain, but your volume items values do not automatically update. 
    • Any values that have not updated are displayed in red within the volume box. 
    • Simply use the Recalculate Volume tool to update the Stockpile volumes after the terrain update.


  • You can also use the Recalculate Volume tool to update Cut/fill maps calculations after the reference has been changed to another terrain state or design surface


Tips and Tricks

  • The Recalculate Volume icon is not displayed by default within the TOOLS tab. 
    • This specific icon will only appear if you have selected at least one volume item that requires a calculation update.
  • The Recalculate Volume tool can be used on Stockpile items and Cut/Fill items at the same time.
  • It is also possible to Recalculate Volume directly from the Volume box for a specific Stockpile or Cut/Fillitem. 
    • If the Elevation Terrain has been modified at the volume item location, a recycle icon will appear in this box. 
    • By clicking on this icon you can launch the process.
