Exercise 3: Creating a Composite Volume Calculation

In this exercise, you will use the Composite Volume utility to calculate volume
information between two surfaces.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Calculating
Composite Volumes.
This exercise continues from
109) and presents an alternative method for generating the surface volume
statistics.
