Note: PlanSwift is now largely integrated into the ecosystem. However, legacy users and specific earthwork modules still reference "v3" or "Pro." This review assumes you are evaluating the standalone legacy version or the earthwork-focused upgrade within the classic PlanSwift interface.
This is the headline feature for V3. Users can manually input individual spot elevations (existing or proposed) directly onto the plan. Triangulation: After digitizing spot elevations, the plugin can triangulate planswift earthwork pro v3
Unlike the standard PlanSwift, the "Pro v3" includes an improved grid-based earthwork calculator. You can assign strata (topsoil, clay, rock) and the software automatically calculates volumes based on your grid elevations. For small to mid-sized residential/commercial pads, this is very accurate and significantly cheaper than AgTek or Insite. Note: PlanSwift is now largely integrated into the ecosystem
A bid is only as good as the report that supports it. PlanSwift Earthwork Pro v3 generates professional, customizable reports including: For small to mid-sized residential/commercial pads, this is
It doesn't just tell you how much dirt you have; it helps you estimate the number of truckloads required to move it, which is crucial for logistics and hauling costs.
: Dedicated tools for calculating excavation volumes for utilities, footings, and foundations, ensuring that sub-grade work is accounted for in the total earthwork volume. Visual Topography Mapping
