Hi,
From to time, I get questions from my design engineers concerning volumes of all kinds of solids in my design models, I.e, I need the volumes of all the foundations, Columns, The bridge slab and both Abutments.
Normally I measure them one by one with the volume tool in the Analyze tab, copy the information into an e-mail and send it, but there must be a more quick and robust way to do it. If I also could combine the volumes with some Items informations, it could be perfect.
In the new Microstation Connect (Just installed) I have played with the Report function, but I haven't found anything that indicates the possibility to setup a report where I can extract Volume data to export it to an Excel Sheet for further manipulation. Then the engineers could be taught generate the reports by them selves. A win-win situation.
Are there anyone that can help me ?
With thanks in advance.
Ole

Here are some examples of Reports. They include area and linear mensuration. Yours is the first request I've seen for volumetric measurement!
