Quantity to Tonnage

Would it be possible to add a measurement value where we can define the QTY of Cubic Yards and tell it which ratio for the Tonnage? IE: Take off of base rock under pavement, 100 CY x 1.66 (Weight Factor for Aggregate to be Defined by User) = Output of 166 TONS?

This would help when printing PDF with information for field, civil operates in tonnage for hauling not yardage. Thank you!

Hi NWSledder,

Are you looking for the Qty in Tons to show on a Legend on a Plan Sheet?

You can currently show the Volume in CY as that is a standard measurement in Area Takeoff.

1. Shows the measurement in Volume based on a 6" depth

2. Shows the legend with CY Measurement

3. when you add an item you can do calculations

4. Shows the simple Calculation Using a Variable of [Weight Factor]

5. is the place you input the wight factor

6. shows 166 Tons from the Calculation
