Component quantities and clipping references

Hi,

Today I noticed to my surprise, that a clipped reference is not calculated at the component quantities. Am I doing something wrong (see attachements)?

Will there be in the next version of Open Roads an easy and accurate way (like to calculate quantities tool, if I don't use clipping references) to calculate quantities of multiple corridors, Civil Cells and terrains at once?
Civil cells for example are at this moment dramatically to calculate / costs a lot of time. 

Regards Louis
  

Example of component quantities with a clipped reference.

Example of component quantities without a clipped reference. Like you can see are the quantities the same.

  • I'm afraid that is how the software works. You still need cut cross-sections and add volume exceptions to calculate quantities along clipped corridor. And then you will need to calculate other elements such as civill cells with driveways, roundabouts, etc.

    I think what we really need is a tool to report quantities from 3D model. That would harvest all quantities from 3d meshes and linestrings produced with corridors, civil cells, surface templates, etc. Possibly that tool could  categorize quantities by corridors and stationing (in component mesh element info there is stationing data given), civil cell names and produce complete bill of materials.

    Collecting quantities from the3D model is most reliable since 3D model is a final product that is supposed to be constructed.

    Best,

    Adam
