Exercise 1: Reviewing Quantity Takeoff Criteria And Report Settings - Autodesk CIVIL3D - CIVILDESIGNCOMP 2007 SLM CD Tutorials Manual

Earthwork and material volumes are calculated by comparing two surfaces to
each other. You can calculate quantities between sample lines derived from
regular surface models and from corridor surfaces.
User-definable tables specify which materials are defined by which surfaces,
and the characteristics of these materials. Finally, average end area analysis is
used to tabulate the material quantities along the corridor.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Analyzing Sectional
Volumes.
Exercise 1: Reviewing Quantity Takeoff Criteria and
Report Settings
In this exercise, you will review the options that are available for quantity
takeoff criteria and reports.
The quantity takeoff report settings include the default quantity takeoff criteria
used to create material lists and default styles for tables. The quantity takeoff
criteria includes a list of materials that specifies the surfaces and shapes from
which you want to generate volume information.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Creating Quantity
Takeoff Criteria.
