Adjust Design Surface

Function

The commands in this sub-menu adjust the design surface.

Vertical Offset

Use this command to vertically move the design surface model up or down. Carlson Takeoff offers vertical adjustments to the entire site, or to designated areas of the site represented by selecting CLOSED polyline boundaries. To vertically move the entire site, or select areas of the site, "UP", enter a positive value in feet and/or tenths of feet. A negative value will move the site down. For example, a value of 1.1 would move the site up 1.1 feet.

Merge With Existing

This command merges the existing ground surface model onto a portion of the design surface. This routine can be used when a section of the site is completed and you want to set part of the model as done. The area to merge is defined by selecting inclusion polylines which must by closed polylines. There is also the option to select exclusion polylines for areas not to merge.
