Making my cut and fill reports more accurate?
The main question I have is when should I delete lines in my surface, so if there is literature on how to manipulate surfaces created from survey data that would be perfect.
I need to run two reports one for Cut and Fill, and one for Materials (shapes). I would like two material lists for the same alignment and sample line group.
The process, setup the materials list for Pave, Base, and Subbase. Generate report, delete list and setup for Cut and Fills, run the report. You do this over and over. Autodesk please add a way to save and import these setups, and a way to create multiple lists for each alignment and sample line group.
Note: Why the Civil 3d default for the interlude into the actual Compute Materials dialogue is Pave, Subbase, Base is beyond me, could someone tell the programmers that Subbase is generally below Base. Each time I have to delete the CIvil 3D defaults and redo this step.
Is there any option to customize the reports generated from Civil 3D 2011.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create some cross section reports. But I have noticed that none of the options available (Section Point Report, or any of the ones that use Sample Lines) will show any featureline information if it is not part of the region which is attached to the alignment chosen in the report.
For instance, I prefer to create my splitter islands as a seperate baseline (levels taken from a dummy surface) and add a simple kerb assembly to this. (So both are in the same corridor). My normal visual cross sections show the splitter island kerbs without issue. But the cross section reports do not.
I have a similar problem with some of the footways, which are created on a separate baseline. (I am working on car parks, where the footway surrounds the car park. So it is easier to create the footways seperately). The section reports do not pick up the footways, presumably because it belongs to a different baseline.......
I dont understand why a section report cant simply pick up any featureline it crosses??

How to replicate this? Add a vertical link to an assembly and have it target a profile for the elevation. In the section editor, check out the parameters of the link and see if it reports the correct elevation. Here's a video of what I did, how to do it in your own drawing: [URL]

I have edited the "GeneralLegalPhrasings.xml" file used for the parcel report "General_Legal_Description_for_Parcels".
Two issues: 1. it will not label a reverse curve properly....it shows them all as "compound curves". 2. A curve to curve is always shown as "NonTangent".
I've attached the .xml file (I only edited the imperial parcels - the second large group of <Metes>).
Quite simply, these two "types" below have the words "reverse curve" and tangent or non-tangent accordingly in the output phrase, but it only creates non-tangent compound reports.
Curve to TangentReverseCurve
Curve to NonTangentReverseCurve
This is the report from the parcel in the attached dwg file (notice the "curve to the left" -> "curve to the right" labelled as compound, and all non-tangent curve to curve):

is there maybe an error in the XSL?
Here is my alignment, correctly labelled in South Azimuth:
Before customising, the Alignment_Curve report gives me this:
It’s been drilled into me that we should keep Civil 3D Objects as separate as we can in the design process, thus minimizing data loss in case of corruption (or other some such disaster). So, our current workflow for our transportation projects is as follows:
Receive LandXML files of points, surface and existing CL alignment from surveyor.
Create a separate dwg for points which is then xref attached into our base model
Create dwg for EG surface, create dref
Create base model (existing conditions)
Create Roadway dwg, import LandXML of existing CL
Create design CL, dref
Create design profile, dref
Create Corridor dwg
[code]...
We are now being asked to produce slope staking reports, which require a “live” corridor and a SLG. Our current workflow doesn’t have both of these in the same drawing and since you can’t dref a corridor or a SLG, I'm forced to duplicate the SLG in the corridor dwg. Obviously copy/paste the SLG isn't an option either. I tried that, then exploding them down to polylines and creating a new SLG from the polylines, select them all, yeah, random creation.
Is the intended workflow to have the design corridor, SLG and all the section views in one drawing?

After installing 2013, the %ReportDir% variable for 2011 is pointing to the 2013 install, where the reports have NOT been customized. So when you run a report in 2011, it is using the XSL files in the 2013 location.

I was wondering how to combine common subassemblies so you don't have to seperately count them.
I realize the long way around this is avoiding subassemblies in general and linking a circuit drawing with a predefined additional MAN, CAT in the drawing of the subassemblie(s). This also allows me to annotate the subassembly Footprints. I havent seen an easy way of auto inserting subassemblies and linking common subitems to make a unique item number. The above is all I get when linking subassemblies through the databases (which also doesn't allow you to annotate/ insert the subassembly footprints). I must be missing a way to auto insert the subassembly Footprints . . . creating unique drawings with the subassembly Footprints is time consuming.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a drawing prepared in Civil 3D 2013 with a number of surfaces representing both the existing and proposed grade of a site.

View 8 Replies View RelatedMy background is actually in Microstation (mainly 2D). I was asked if I could calculate the cut and fill between two topo surfaces. Unfortunately, I don't have the files yet but I will eventually receive them. When I do, what would be the correct method to achieve this task?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a decent understanding of how corridors work, and I am able to generate material volume tables for earthworks, I can edit my corridor and everything is all synced up as far as I can tell. Where I am having trouble is removing topsoil (with a volume generated) and then using that new 'section' to calculate cut and fill.
The project is a new road for a subdivision. Topsoil is to be stripped only within the limits of the back of curb, and anywhere the fill is greater than 300mm (a foot).
What I was trying was to use the stripping topsoil subassembly, with a foreslope of 0:1 and a width based on my corridor. I would have this subassembly on the let and right, and the attachment point would be the crown of the road. Then I would create a surface using the stripping feature lines and the stripping link to calculate the topsoil removed. Then I would use this surface as the Base to compare for my Earthworks.
The problem I was having is the Topsoil surface wouldn't follow the actual topsoil feature line in the sections, and would get some pretty wonky stuff happening with regards to the TIN lines of this surface. Flipping the TIN lines seems very difficult to do properly and efficiently.
Trying to get the cut/fill quantities by computing the materials & I'm getting confused.
I imported another criteria & for ground removed it has existing as below & my datum as above. For fill, it has the datum below & existing above. The cut/fill matches a comparison between the 2 surfaces, but I just want to make sure I'm doing it right. Explain why for cut the datum's set to above & for fill it's set to below,
I am working on a project for a park in which they are looking for a new access road and a parking lot. I created the road and sections for it, now im looking to get material cut/fill from the sections. I am having a tough time getting them to work. The only thing I can get to work is if i created a volume surface comparing my eg to my fg surface. That will give me a cut and fill material amount for my new road
What i am trying to get is the volume report for each sections, so i can get the cut/fill for each section. I have followed the tutorials and tried everything, but nothing seems to work. I created a surface from my corridor, and for some reason when i go to edit my materials, i cant add my proposed surface from my corridor to make the comparison from, and i think thats my problem. Everytime i go to create my volume report, i get all 0's.
I would like the grading of a site to happen only on part of the site; I need the rest of the site to remain unchanged.
I thought I was finished with this project, the volumes seemed about correct, and then I noticed in the comparison surface (showing areas of Cut and areas of Fill) that soil is being taken from parts of the site that need to remain undisturbed. This is a residential site with a conservation easement and other forested areas that we won't be disturbing.
How do I set a boundary or breakline (or what?) to limit the grading/cut/fill to the area I want?
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010
The project I am working on requires shoulders sloperd at -1.5% to -3.0%. Is it possible to set up an assembly and corridor to cut anything above -1.5% and fill anything below -3.0%?
If I can show both the cut and fill in the same drawing, that would be ideal.

See drawing attached.
I have a large fill area directly dropping to to a large cut area. All of the above work is in rock, There is a retaining wall along a section of the "cliff face" but not at the ends where the cut and fill meet.
I would like to transition the fill batter on to the cut batter to enable the filled area above to be self supporting.
How to apply a different set of fill factors along the same alignment in the same material list? I have a road that is going to be sandy soil for the first half and half rock for the last half.
