RE: Create Cut Fill Volumes: How to use the "Custom" option?

Hello Brian,

I'm not sure if this will completely address your needs, but have you tried creating and applying trench templates for your storm sewer conduits? You will first need to create the trench templates. Then, they can be added to the Feature Definitions for your conduits. After the conduits have been placed using these Feature Definitions, ORD will then generate something very similar (if not identical) to a corridor model for each conduit, and the trench can have different components which you can use to distinguish between different types of backfill. It works well for creating trench quantities. How to combine this with your roadway corridor model - that's a question someone else will have to address - I don't know the answer to that. But with the conduit "corridor models" in place, there may be a way to work them together to get what you want. I hope this provides a piece of the puzzle for you. Attached is a short video from Bentley on applying trench templates once they are part of the conduit's Feature Definition. Good luck, and please share with the Forum the solution once you've figured it out.

Best regards,
--Karl

Care to share how you set all of these different options up? Feature Definitions tied to your volume meshes? How are you delivering your cut fill data? A Strip Map? Cross Sections or just the 3D Model?
