I set up my Materials in Analyze --> Volumes and Materials --> Compute Materials.I created my own Material Selection Styles too by selecting hatching I wanted for each of my materials and No Shading for Subgrade.
Do I need to do this separately for every alignment or can I copy one Materials setup to another alignment? How?
What are subcriteria for?
I went to Civil 3D Help on
"Understanding Point, Link, and Shape Codes"
to "find info about Structures. Calculates the volume of one or more corridor shapes (as defined by the shape codes that are used to define the corridor)" because I have custom subassemblies.
My typical x-sec is a Dike with a geogrid top and back slope, the river side has large rip rap underlaid with a bedding stone. At the bottom of the river side rip rap slope, there is a toe of excavated material replaced with existing rip rap. I used a LinkMulti object to create the trapezoidal-like shape of the toe protection. I used pavement, shoulder or general sections to make the geogrid, riprap, and bedding stone pieces. I want to connect these 4 different closed objects in my assemblies to the Materials I defined to get quantities (and subgrade = 5 total):
1. Geogrid
2. Rip Rap - Large
3. Bedding Stone
4. Toe
5. Subgrade
I set up the first 3 as "Structures" quantity types. Toe as "Cut and Refill" type. Subgrade as "Earthworks" type. I selected the shape I defined with selected hatching for each of them. If I can connect them to my assembly, will the hatching show up as I defined on my corridor sections?
I would like to calculate excavation for the Toe object separately and I am extending the Geogrid on the back slope so the cross-sectional length needed varies throughout the design - why I prefer to be able to calculate corridor quantities with Civil 3D.
I should probably attached a picture of my Assembly. I am also comparing 2 assemblies: one that runs on the dike centerline. The only runs on the Top of Bank Right. Doing that in 2 different sites.
