ARCHICAD Tip - Using Solid Element Operations and Opening on a Mesh
Using Solid Element Operations (SEO) on a Mesh to create a road or path with the Slab Tool. Any changes to the Mesh, the Slab will automatically follow.
As a bonus tip, using the new AC23 Opening Tool, to create a platform.

Hi James, with the second option using the opening tool, Is it then possible to calculate the volume of the removed area. i.e. volume of ground excavated for building platform

Volume is calculated from the model, so if you need the before SEO you'll need a copy of the mesh without the SEO

Mesh is symbolic, so it's quick. You'd need to have it projected, one method you can use is the 3D Document from Floor Plan - helpcenter.graphisoft.com/user-guide/137249/
For those listening, you might want to mute the video between 0:30 - 0:33. Still nice vid tho.
