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. Review quantity takeoff settings 1 Open Earthworks-1.dwg, which is located in the tutorial drawings folder (page 819).
