Modelling Foundations

The volume of foundations can be modeled in Kubla Cubed in just the same way as any other earthworks element. The only real differences are that the side batter for foundations is almost always set to vertical, and foundations often have holes inside them. The ability to cut holes out of volumes is a standard feature in Kubla Cubed, but is much less commonly used for actual earthworks elements. Cutting holes is easily achieved by adding internal outlines within the external ones. The internal outlines will be automatically detected and removed as holes.

^{The ability to remove internal areas is an occasionally used feature for normal earthworks elements but is routinely required when modeling foundations.}
