ORD Earthwork

Does anyone know a way to check the volumes that the meshes are giving?  Specifically, I'm looking to verify the area at a specific station.  Is there no way to measure at each section to corroborate the EAV report?  Also, it seems as though some sections aren't showing the mesh accurately on the dynamic sections, see below.  Most sections look fine, but the Project Manager will question this and therefore the integrity of the report.

Thank you-

  • To trace your xsection areas i think you will need to use Measure Area - By Points and basically trace around the area. This is kinda slow and painful with many points along the existing ground.

    i recently found in the ORD wiki - Drawing Production - Export to plain graphics - No reference. 

    Export to plain graphics - No reference - OpenRail Wiki - OpenRail - Bentley Communities

    This allow you to export the cross sections to " the output sheet models will have the drawing models merged as plain graphics (no longer referenced)."   you can then use the flood command as you did in the past because they are 2D graphics.  i did it successfully as a test once and it seemed to do as promised.  i have not made it into a standard practice for Checking earthwork yet. 

    I know i have many users who keep asking for sections they can edit by hand..... i guess this is a solution for that also..... but it means those sections are no longer tied to the 3D design and cannot be updated automatically further.
