I am very interested in this featured addition. From my commercial side of things, I use a very sophisticated and detailed earthwork estimating software with the ability to balance a site by several methods...one is to raise or lower the structure. I have not updated yet....needing to finish some other work before I dig into 2020... any info on this feature so far is of interest ....thanks again as always for sharing.....

I am using 2020. I have imported google earth data into site plans with known grades to see how accurate it is.

So far, though it does import grades from coordinates, has been inaccurate. I have adjusted north direction and a few other experiments and have not been very successful

I hope softplan makes additional videos on this because what they demonstrate seems simple and I suspect it may be on my end

regardless, 2020 is fantastic and few bugs... they have come a long way since when I started in version 9

Are you locating the geopoint to a known location?
