How to Set up Unsuitable Materials based on Designed Terrain instead of Existing Terrain

I try to set unsuitable materials referenced to designed terrain model instead of existing terrain in End-Area Volumes. Although I edited settings of unsuitable material's feature from existing terrain to design it is still the same.

I would like to make unsuitable materials are based on designed corridor model lie below the picture:

Here I set it to designed:

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

  • The Unsuitable Materials is intended to strip out based on the existing terrain, at the limits of the design. 

    In order to do what you want, you will want some sort of 'overcut' component in the template which will be the desired depth below the components of the template.  If you have a wearing component and a subgrade component, then you want to do a 6" overcut in addition to those components' depths, you will add another component under the subgrade which is the overcut.  You can tie the components to the end conditions so they can expand and intercept the existing ground and get correct quantities based on the limits/width of the design.

  • I didn't know stripping means unsuitable material. I will try to set stripping variable as logical according to cut and fill. 

    Thank you.

  • Unsuitable materials is "stripping" the ground in a sense but it is a little different than what we refer to as "stripping".  The unsuitable materials option in the volumes is stripping at least the defined layered of depth from the existing terrain.  The unsuitable material is considered a material that needs to be removed from the existing ground because of a geotechnical survey for the materials which make up the existing ground.  There is usually a known depth which needs to be stripped to assure the unsuitable material is removed.   So I think what you want is more of an overcut or a stripping/overlay component.  When we refer to "stripping", we have stripping/overlay components in the template which can strip below the terrain or the component as drawn in the template.  So you may also use a stripping component in the template to get this effect you want with overcutting the terrain below the design template.

  • I tryed to do this using Overlay/Stripping but I failed. Because the graund is soft, depth of unsuitable material is not constant for my project. If it is cut, depth from the existing terrain is 50cm, if it is fill, depth from the existing terrain is 30cm. I set overlay/stripping according to this rule and I tested the template it looks OK. However some of cross sections are lack of depth of unsuitable materials like this picture: 

    Desired sections are like these pictures:

    I tryed to fix this using display rules but it didn't work. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

  • Good day, think this conversation is the closest to the situation I am trying to achieve. I need to set up a set of material depth below the design surface. As soon as the layer intersect the existing ground it needs to split. I managed to get close with unsuitable material but is not cutting at the existing ground. It might just be a matter of combination of settings.

    Custome Volume Option:

    What is the cut and fill Factor?

    Wil the Include option only analyse the fill if true? must I set Custome display ?

    Unsuitable Volume Option:

    Get the closest result but the material is not cutting at the existing ground and only look at design.
