RUSS NICLOY: From this point, we can do one of two things.
00:16
We can create section views, or we can create the volume calix
00:21
from those sample lines.
00:22
I'm going to go into the Analyze tab of the ribbon
00:25
to do the compute materials or compute the volumes.
00:30
In here, we pick the alignment and the sample line group,
00:34
and then, I'm going to choose the existing
00:36
ground and the datum, which is going
00:39
to be our subgrade great surface, so that when they're
00:42
used in calculations, it knows where
00:44
to pull that information from.
00:46
I'll click OK.
00:49
Now, that data is in the file and available to us
00:52
for tables, or reports, or in section views.
00:55
We can display it in section views.
00:57
Before I move to the next phase, though, I
00:59
do want to compute materials again because, in this case,
01:03
I do want to add a new criteria and that will be the materials.
01:08
This is going to be the material list from the roadway
01:11
or from the corridor itself.
01:13
You can see there it's calculating pavement base
01:15
or subbase.
01:16
You can also add other materials if you have them.
01:18
I'm going to select on each one and identify which
01:23
type of calculation it is.
01:25
[INAUDIBLE] one base or subbase.
01:28
I'll click OK, and now, those three are listed in Material 2.
01:32
I'm going to change the name here of this material
01:34
to Road Materials.
01:38
And I will change the first name here
01:41
to earthwork so that we will know when we see it
01:45
which one we're getting.
01:46
And you can also kind of look and see how is it calculating,
01:49
what are the settings, and if there's a cut fill
01:51
factor, that type of thing.
01:53
I'll click OK to that.
01:54
And again, that data is now available in our file.
01:58
If I wanted to do a material volume table,
02:00
I'll come here to that tool.
02:02
And then, come down the alignment sample line group.
02:05
I need to pick the material list.
02:07
In this case, I want the road materials,
02:09
and then, I will pick which of those materials, which
02:11
of those three that you saw me create, I want to get.
02:14
I'm going to choose the sub based material,
02:18
and I'm going to say OK.
02:20
And drop that in.
02:21
I'll drop it a little bit to the South here.
02:23
And there, you can see that information in table form.
02:27
I am also going to come up and do a total volume table here.
02:30
For that, I'm going to do the earthwork material list,
02:35
and I'll drop that in here.
02:36
And again, you can see that information, the cuts,
02:39
fills and cumulative volumes for our project up to the bridge.
02:47
Finally, I do also want to do a volume report,
02:50
and I'm going to do it off the earthwork material list.
02:54
I'm going to click on the stylesheet option
02:56
and make sure that the earthwork is the style that I'm picking.
02:59
This is just going to be different styles of tables
03:01
in the report.
03:03
I'll click Open and then OK.
03:05
There will be a message saying that the scripts are OK,
03:09
and you can say Yes to that.
03:10
And then, it will print out your report in a browser.
03:14
You can then print this out and include it
03:16
in the paperwork of your project for the project information.
