Version 6.11 3D machine control software has a new real-time, color-coded cut/fill mapping feature displaying where material is located on the job site and where it needs to be moved. By simply comparing the existing surface to the finish design, the operator can see on the control box cut, fill and on grade areas in different colors (colors are selectable). The colors can also be shaded so deeper cuts and greater fills are displayed in darker colors. As the operator moves across the site, the screen automatically changes color to represent the cut or fill required to achieve grade. With this feature every operator, even new ones, can move the material to right spot the first time. When completed, the surface fill can be saved as an as-built for finish grade confirmation.

The cut/fill feature can also be used for compaction verification in waste landfills or building pads. Users can define screen color changes by the number of passes over an area or by a special “previous pass height differential,” which changes screen color based upon a predetermined change in elevation. This new option ensures optimum compaction in the fewest passes possible saving time and equipment cost.
