I am trying to get a material volume report for a corridor structure. The overall dirt cut fill is working, but the pavement and base keeps showing up as zero.
I started with the surfaces made, (perhaps that’s the problem,) I made an alignment, used an assembly, made a profile, and sample lines, made the corridor. The assembly draws in the cross sections, but the materials report shows zero in the pavement and stone.
I have created surfaces for my original ground and my corridor. Both have appropriate boundaryies and the TIN looks good for both. I am trying to create a volume report through Volume Dashboard. I am able to create the volume surface with no issues but the numbers it comes up with do not seem correct. I can see from my profile that there is a small fill but the software seems to create a fill that is almost half of all the material when my profile shows there is more cut.
I tried creating a sample line group...it also shows the majority is cut. The only thing I can think is that there are about a dozen areas where my daylight does not work. how to do this volume correctly?
Is there a way to generate a volume report for a bounded volume surface?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working with TIN surfaces, doing cut/fill comparisons for a surface mine.
My volume surface statistics show a cut volume of 5167.22 cy and fill volume of 8456.18 cy.
The sample line group volume report show cumulative cut of 5527.67 cy and fill of 8465.56 cy.
What could be some causes of this disparity. All reference surfaces are built from points and use a non-destructive boundary.
I would like to re-format the way volume reports are displayed, for example I don't need the cut area or reusable volume columns or I'd like to change the Cu.m. dimensional to something like m3.

When the report is in IE10, I Select All and paste to Excel (as I always have done) and the numbers are not recognised as numbers (there is no convert text to numbers prompt) and seem to have a leading space which Find/Replace can't find and replace.
If I right click in IE10 and Export to Excel, most of the exported data has a weird character preceding it (but which can be found and replaced). What this character is and how to stop it appearing?

When creating a Corridor Section Points Report using the Toolspace>Toolbox>Reports Manager in Civil 3D 2012, the stations get listed but only a few contain point information (see attached).
I am trying to generate stake-out data for a proposed road. I was able to get this report to work successfully in one of the Civil 3D tutorials, so I assume that nothing is wrong with the utility. The problem may be related to my corridor.
I have a problem with the corridor section points report on Civil 3d 2014. It only presents the first station on the corridor.

I am trying to find out if there is a way to change the code for the Corridor Section Points Report. See attachment.
In page 1 of the attachment you will see the names that we prefer for the different zones in our assembly as per our Standards.
On page 2 is the default names that C3D spits out as defaults (under String Cut).
We are running C3D 2012.
I have an existing surface. I created an alignment and have managed to make "multiple cross" section out of the surface without making corridor and its fine. Now, the problem is I cannot finding any option to make report out of these sections. I need those report very soon..I have even attached th dwg file which contains all the data.

So when I go to assign rendering materials in corridor properties dialog box, it does not allow me to select the box and make a choice of which material, so I am assuming that I am forgetting something...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been learning civil3d for some time now and I really want to understand how the program calculates volumes from road corridors.
When the top code is used to create surface from a road corridor, the created surface coincides with the top of the road pavement (binder/wearing course), which is not part of earthworks.
How can I create a surface at the formation level so as to compute actual earthworks?
I'd like to build a location-based quantity takeoff using compute materials (actually using a mix of QTO, composite volumes, and maybe parcels and bounded volumes but this question is specific to compute materials). I have been working on this technical challenge today and hope to have it solved by tomorrow morning.
I created a new 'Quantity Takeoff Criteria' and added materials for the items I'd like to takeoff with compute materials, such as the corridor shape volumes that are not well handled by QTO. So there are structure quantity types for materials Pave1, Base1, Curb, RW.Footing, Wall, and Barrier. But, when I return to Compute Materials I have the option to assign 1 object to each corridor shape named. Here is the problem, there are 36 pave objects named Pave1 and only 1 material Pave1.
The solution I tried is to go back and edit the code set styles to add a location prefix like 99CL1>M>06 to the link names - making 36 99CL1>*>**-Pave1 objects. But, apparently these are links and obviously not objects so the names did not go through to the compute materials objects list.
The next two approaches are: 1) Go back to the subassembly properties and edit the codeSetStyle with prefixes - I assume this means I'd need a distinct subassembly for each location, a unwieldy situation. 2) Create a specific material and shape pair for each location, for example 36 99CL1>*>**-Pave1 material and Pave1 shape pairs. An awkward workaround but preferable to defining a specific subassebly to each location.
I would like to modified the existing pointlist.xsl.
I would like to use a different font and adjust the text heights smaller, like a 8 pt. for the points, 12 pt for the heading and 6 pt for report data.
I do not see any text size in the file, so how do change these.
Also are there any other point list report available?
how to get the corridor list in toolspace prospector tab to put the corridor list in alphabetical order? It seems to put them in order as you make them and will not use alphanumeric. See what mine is doing in the attached photo.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having some issues getting a shared Volume parameter to work and report in a tag correctly. I can get the tag to report a value, but it is reporting the a value based on default values of the column (9*2*2) and not the value of the actual column (shown in the properites). Also, the tag I create reports a question mark, not the volume calculated. I've tried this a million times so it could be I have crossed up a parameter somewhere.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI use a setup with Shader List (Volume) with two mists. One regular and one to blur out the horizon. After working on the scene for some time I notice that the shader list now contains eight copies of the last shader. I think I would remember if I did that. So, whats up with the shader list?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've read a few threads on this way back but cannot locate them. I have two surfaces and create a volume surface and it reported the volume as 493 cy. I then ran some sample lines at 25 foot interval and the total volume is reported as 964 cy.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to use it as my primary hydrologic and hydraulic modeler. It only makes sense. Well, I got the program to work and had things linked in and was able to route a storm through the network. But when I routed the storms, I had to model double the storage that i expected.
So I went back to the program I'm familiar with - Pondpack by Benltey - and designed the same system I routed in SSA in that program - and got the storage volume that I would expect for a site of this size - about 2 acres.
Is there possibly a setting that I'm missing that makes my outlet structures route slower or less than they should? Or is there some other reason that a system would give this kind of inflated need for storage?
I have an issue with using Bounded Volume or Adding a Boundary to Volume Surface things so bad... = incorrect volumes.. sometimes extremely incorrect.. I understand that the surface rectangle when a boundary is added but this could be horrible if not checked.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCopy a corridor successfully? I'd like to try this just a little worried about the explosion of evil this may cause to my Civil 3D session.
Even all the properties of the corridor setup from one to another would be useful. I'm building one corridor and an 2nd one that matches everything except I need to replace my Assembly with one meant for stripping.
My corridor surface is not matching my corridor top links. see attachments. this is affecting my volumes!
The section-plan(surface red).png is showing the section editor and the plan view. the red highlighted line in section is the corridor surface and as you can see in plan view the surface is incorrect and wiggly.
The pdf is all my sections with the red linework being the corridor surface.

is it posible to list all the materials from all libraries and catagories from Inventor 2013?
I am using this at the moment: Dim oMat As Inventor.Material For Each oMat In oApp.StylesManager.Materials comboMaterial.Items.Add(oMat.Name.ToString) Next
This works but only pulls through and lists the "Inventor Material Library" materials by default.
What is strange though is that when I apply a material from another library to a part then its almost like that library is now active and if the routine is run again it only pulls through materials from that library and not the "Inventor Material Library" again.
I know in 2014 its better supported but is there a way to get all materials in 2013?
How & where I can add fields that I require for my equipment. I see I can add it to the bill of materials in the assembly but that doesn't carry through to the drawing.
I see that I can add to the parts list in the drawing but i don't want to have to add the information into my drawings every time I use one of my machines.
Basically I am busy creating a library of all the machines I use. This library will then be used for numerous drawing for many different clients. I need the required info to be in my drawing from the beginning without me having to add it to every clients drawing.
I am trying to populate a multi-value user parameter with a list composed of the various materials available from the iProperties "Physical" tab. So far I have this:
For Each material In iProperties.Materials
Bracket_Material.Items.Add(material)
Next
iProperties.Material=Bracket_Material
Running the Rule gets this error message:
Rule Compile Errors in Material_Rule, in _Mounting_bracket.ipt
Error on Line 2 : 'Bracket_Material' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
I think I am doing the "Bracket_Material.Items.Add(material) " line wrong, but I don't know enough VB to fix it. It seems to me it IS declared in the Parameters table - isn't adding the parameter to the parameter table sufficient to declare it?
Eventually I want to add the Bracket_Material Parameter to a form so the user can select material from drop down list and assign it to part.
I'm need to make a Map Check report on C3D2011, but I don't know how to do it. Since C3D everything have to be setup before it can be use, so my questions are: How do I setup map check? Or What do I need to do get map check report?
What are the steps to do it right?
I would ask a question about the Cut and Fill Volumes reports in Civil 3D.
