OpenRoads Designer: How to calculate volumes of overlapping template drops?

Max Suijkerbuijk — Mon, 13 Aug 2018 12:26:57 GMT

I am trying to calculate volumes of different layers of asphalt and different layers of groundwork. I've created a template which contains all these layers, where the final groundwork layer is variable (slopes and ramps or not). In my template this layer's bottom points are defined by a slope constraint (50%) and a "Project to surface" constraint. This all works fine and I can get the volumes from a single corridor and its layers by clicking corridor reports and selecting corridor componet quantities.

However, when adding corridors for entry and exit lanes the volumes overlap, so when I calculate the volumes per corridor I will get parts that are counted double. I am looking for a way to either "merge" the volumes or extract them from one another at the parts where they overlap. I have tried selection one corridor and "Define target aliasing" and then selecting the other corridor, however the volumes of both are still present and mixed.

How can I substract these overlapping volumes in order to get the right volume quantities per layer?

Thanks in advance!

Point Control - Plan Element has no name

I am trying to make my corridor follow a line from a reference by a point control. However after selecting the corridor and all the properties I have to select a Plan Element. I can't select the line I want it to follow because "The element has no name". The line is a complex element on the left side and a complex chain / line string on the right side, I have no idea why this is different though I have tried merging the reference into the master, drop element, plan by 3D element, changing from 3D to 2D seed file and vice versa but all without result. I can't find a solution elsewhere online either.

How can I make this line selectable for plan element in order to get my point control to follow the line?

Thanks in advance.
