Hi volks,
What if you have huge projects from a building site with lots of stages for earthworks and your client, a building companyneeds reports of lots of volume calculation for billing purposes.
Lets say we have several surveys from the stages and the respecting surfaces.In addition there will be several areas (shapes) were to make different mass/quantiies calculation that have to repeat from time to time when the corresponding surface are changed or changes are made with the InRoads Surface design tools.
I know all the abilities from "InRoads/Triangle volume". It is nice to set up but if you leave InRoads all dialog settings are gone and have to bedone again next time . That is frustrating and time consuming because the equal inputs must be done again and again.
How are you doing this?
Are there any better news for "dynamic reports" in the OpenRoads world for this?
Maybe someone like to attach to this TR!
Just my $0.02.
A while back I was told that somewhere, it was decided that Command Preferences were not that desirable and were not being added if new commands were added. I expressed by opinion that Command Preferences that could be saved and recalled were not only a nice feature, but were essential for many workflows.
Clearly, this tool needs such an option. And as more of the design tools migrate into OpenRoads, Bentley will need to add a similar capability.
