Cross section volumes.

Hello Strojan,

What you want is not possible in Linemode, because you have to retrieve the volumedata from your volumestring.  This cannot be extracted from linemode and put into a variable to display in a crossection.

You have to extract your volume data first (through VBA or VB) then you can make your crossections with the extracted data (with a little help from VBA or VB).

 It could be useful if this would be implemented into Linemode.

Linemode is more simple than VBA or VB.

With regards

The pavement layers are stored as cross sections. From the Help file:

Design: Pavement and Subgrade design: Pavement Layer Design: Storage Models
Pavement Layer Design: Storage Models
When the pavement layer design is completed, the following models are created to contain the new strings:

A sections model which stores all the pavement layers, and the preparatory works sections
In MXROAD the convention is:
PVT -model type- -model name- -string name-
where -model name- can be truncated to keep the overall length of the new model name below 28 characters.

-model type - can be SECTIONS, CUTBACK, AREAS etc.

I have a simple pavement layer designed, and I get section sets D, E, X, and 0. There would be more depending on the number of layers. By calculating the volumes (VOLUME 056) between the various cross section sets, you can create a volume setring for each layer, which should be able to be used to annotate the drawing. The sections are standard MX sections, so can be used by all options once they are created.

Note that I have not tried this - I am just throwing out a possible solution,
