VOLUME / CUT-FILL
STREAM computes earthwork cut and fill directly on your DEM. Choose the reference — the real terrain, a flat design level, or another surface — and get cut and fill volumes with a clear heat map showing where material is added or removed.
Cut and fill is the volume of earth that must be removed (cut) or added (fill) to reach a target surface. It is the core quantity in grading, road and mining earthworks.
The result depends entirely on the reference you compare against. STREAM lets you pick the reference explicitly so the numbers match your design intent.
Compute cut/fill against the real terrain, a flat level (or its minimum), or a comparative reference surface — you choose the datum.
See exactly where cut and fill occur as a color overlay on the terrain, not just a single number.
Compare two terrain states (before/after) and get the net volume difference with cut and fill separated.
Save the cut/fill heat map as a GeoTIFF raster or export figures for your report.
Against the real terrain, a flat design level (or its minimum), or a comparative reference surface. You choose the reference so the result matches your design.
Yes. Select two terrain scenarios and STREAM reports the net volume difference with cut and fill separated — useful for progress and earthwork tracking.
Yes. Cut and fill is computed directly on the DEM surface, so the result reflects the real ground.
Free beta for Windows x64. Works fully offline with GeoTIFF, LAS/LAZ and DXF.
