Hello All,

We are currently quoting for some work for a client which will involve calculating volumes of soil types based on a topographic survey and borehole information. I have a few q's on this:

- can standard AutoCAD (2008 - full version) do this? The only command I have found is MASSPROP, but I'm not sure this is the best to use for dealing with a contoured ground surface.

- which would be the best AutoCAD product to use for this - Civil, Land Desktop? I haven't used either of these before, would it be relatively easy to do this type of calculation.

Any advice on best method and suitable programs gratefully accepted.

Cheers,
Jon
