Can I include material volumes from the voids created by piping trenches, assemblies and building foundations. I'm assuming in all these cases that the spoil is replaced by an imported material and that I need to retain 100% of spoil on site.
What I'm trying to do (ignore the details) is well informed cut and fill, based upon everything including the cuts to make the previously mentioned infrastructure.

An overdue response but, there is no way that I am aware of to have Civil 3D to calculate the volume for infrastructure trenching. You would need to manually create excavation surfaces or manually do the volume calcs based on pipe diameter and length and add them to the cut/fill calcs.

If you come up with any tips/tricks on any ways you've found to accomplish this quickly, please share!
