Greetings!<br>
<br>
This is my first question for this list and I am new to qgis, so be
gentle!<br>
<br>
We are building a 20 acre (8 hectare) lake and need to design an
earthen dam and calculate the amount of fill dirt needed to build
the dam.<br>
<br>
We are starting with lidar data of the entire watershed and have
created contours, then mapped the shoreline of the lake. I would
like to add a dam to the model and then calculate the volume of the
fill needed to construct the dam.<br>
<br>
1) What is the best general workflow for this project?<br>
<br>
2) How can I add the dam as 3D feature? The dam is not straight, it
is arched. <br>
<br>
3) What is the best way to calculate the fill required?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
