One of the biggest "hidden profit killers" in earthwork is forgetting soil expansion (swell) and compaction (shrinkage). Earthwork Pro v3 allows you to assign unique load factors to different soil types (Clay, Sand, Rock). You can configure the software to display:
these points to automatically calculate average elevations and topographical volumes. Standard and Metric Templates: planswift earthwork pro v3
PlanSwift Earthwork Pro v3 is not a revolution in UI, but a surgical evolution in workflow. It takes the pain out of the earthwork estimator’s most tedious tasks: applying shrink/swell factors manually, calculating sloped surfaces with trigonometry, and reconciling subgrade vs. finished grade.
