The app interface allows the user to select the bathymetric surface from a list or to select it in the drawing. After selecting the surface, the app will automatically display the surface minimum and maximum elevation. This elevation range can be changed by the user. The user must also specify the elevation interval (stage). 

After clicking the “Generate Table” button, the app will generate an elevation-volume table for the specified elevation range, at the user-defined elevation interval. These volumes are calculated by creating TIN Volume Surfaces. This table can be exported to a Microsoft Excel file by clicking the “Export Table to Excel” button.  

The Create Surfaces checkbox allows the user to keep the TIN volume surfaces after creating the elevation-volume table. The user must specify the surface style for the new surfaces. The plugin will automatically name the surfaces using the elevation interval. If the checkbox is not checked, the app will destroy the surfaces.

The QuickVolumes app can be installed by running the QuickVolumes.msi file and following the instructions in the wizard. This will install the program in the following location: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins. 

The first time the application is launched, the user will be asked to validate the license. The program will provide a Request Code that the user has to send to support@vantecsolutions.com along with the purchase order. Within 24 hours we will send you back an Authorization Code that will let you run the program. In the meantime, the program can be run on trial mode.

To uninstall the program, execute the same PondsCreationTools.msi file and follow the instructions.
