Hello everyone,
I have created a corridor with a simple template.
When selecting different components from the 3D view, I don't always get the volume property in the civil quantities tab (see the images below for reference).
Do you have any idea what could be the issue ?
Regards,
Hi Youssef,
I'm not sure if you have resolved this issue, but we have found that if a component width is less than a certain ratio its linear length the Civil Volume will not be reported. The ratio we have found is approximately 0.3mm width per linear metre, so based on your component length of 7921m only components a min width of around 2.4m in your corridor will report Civil Volumes.
This is still an issue in 2022 R1 so the only option you may have is to break the corridor into smaller parts, around 3km in length.

Thank you for this, Mark! This should really be in a list of known defects distributed with each release because it could have serious implications for designers when we don't know where the discrepancies are coming from.
This may explain why I get different quantities from using the Quantities by Named Boundaries report when changing the size (length) of the named boundaries. I ran a check on some old reports I saved and it's quite consistently an issue on the more 'slender' components in my template.
This is only semi-related, but also watch out for this platform bug (#965884):
When (2) or more 3D elements with a volume are added to a selection set, the normal Measure Volume tool will not report the volume of the sum of elements. It will report a number, but it will not be correct. Each individual element's volume will be reported correctly, but they must be manually added to get the total volume.
