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,
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.
also we logged SR and finally defect was filled that whenever component thickness is less than 4 cm, it returns no volume as mesh. Eg we use 4 cm thick wearing course and it has no volume when using template either in corridor or in surface template.
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.
I prefer working with a minimum number of corridors in order to avoid errors. For the time being, I use End Area Volumes Report to get the different quantities.
However, the fact that we need to respect a certain ratio is weird and I would have never thought about it. Hopefully it will be fixed in future updates.
haha i did go a bit far trying to find a pattern for it. I am unsure why there is anything linking this component volume value to the linear length (as it isnt necessary), however the pattern cannot be coincidental.
