Earthwork isn't just about moving dirt; it's about moving the right dirt. Version 3 includes a material library where you assign shrink/swell factors for:

Use the "Contour Trace" tool. Click on each existing contour line (EL 100, EL 102, etc.). The software stores these as a 3D surface. Alternatively, import a CSV of survey points.

PlanSwift Earthwork Pro V3 is a powerful plugin designed for site work contractors to calculate volumes directly within the PlanSwift platform . It simplifies complex earthwork estimations by allowing users to digitize both existing and proposed elevations from standard construction plans. Key Features of Version 3.0

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.
