2 In the Composite Volumes vista, click Create New Volume Entry. 3 In the Base Surface column, click . Select the Existing Ground Without Berm surface from the list. 4 In the Comparison Surface column, click the . Select the Berm surface from the list. After the surfaces are selected, the volumes are calculated and displayed in the table. The Net Graph entry shows a graphical percentage representation of the whole volume. A net fill condition is represented by a green bar; a net cut condition by a red bar. To continue to the next tutorial, go to Visualizing Surface Data (page 111). Tutorial: Visualizing Surface Data This tutorial demonstrates how to add multi-view blocks to a surface and render it using a sample of the visualization techniques included with AutoCAD Civil 3D. AutoCAD Civil 3D uses the same rendering functionality as standard AutoCAD. At a basic level, you can use the Render command to render your model without applying any materials, adding any lights, or setting up a scene. In this tutorial, you will create a basic rendering by applying a render material to a surface. You will explore some of the basic render settings that are available. For more information, see the AutoCAD help topic Create Realistic Images and Graphics. Exercise 1: Moving Multi-View Blocks to a Surface In this exercise, you will insert multi-view blocks into a drawing, and then place them at the appropriate elevation on a surface. A multi-view block is an AutoCAD Civil 3D object that can have different representations in different view directions. Predefined multi-view blocks supplied with AutoCAD Civil 3D are available in DesignCenter. These blocks represent various items, such as signs, building footprints, trees, and shrubs. In DesignCenter, predefined multi-view blocks are located in the Data folder (page 819) \Symbols\Mvblocks. For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Multi-View Blocks.
