Summary


In this chapter, you started to add more rich functionality using the Excavation Planning Manager. In the first part of the chapter, you spent time preparing the cost calculator class, which helped in centralizing the cost calculation code. Then you learned how to calculate the cost of removing a soil by calculating the intersecting area between the excavation and the soil feature class. You also learned how to find the cost of removing the trees that is underlying an excavation and how the number of trees affect the green factor of the area you are excavating.

In the next chapter, you will put the final touches on Yharnam to create excavation designs. Each design will have multiple excavations and the design will have a final cost. The engineer can create multiple designs and compare the cost to make the final decision.
