The create cut fill volume tool can be very useful but I was wondering if there is any way/workaround to use it between design models. To my mind there is no way without changing the feature definitions of the elements for one of the models to the existing…

I have a template where I have material that needs to be cut in order to grade down to subgrade. I also need this purple volume to be paid for as fill from the top of base to the finish grade. This fill area is constant throughout the range of the template…

Does anyone know a way to check the volumes that the meshes are giving? Specifically, I'm looking to verify the area at a specific station. Is there no way to measure at each section to corroborate the EAV report? Also, it seems as though some sections…

Hi there, I'm running an End Area Volume Report using a named boundary group of cross-sections. In the Volumes report that I am using it lists the shrink/swell factor, however, I can't find anywhere to actually set the factor. Is there a command somewhere…

Hi everybody, we can use Civil Analysis/Cut and Fill Volumes command. That's great. But I can guess only how calculations are done. Some parameters are a little bit unclear because this chapter is unfortunately completely missing in ORD documentation…

I have an existing ground terrain and a proposed terrain (derived from the top mesh of my roadway corridor). I need to find displacement volumes for an embankment given a list of storm events with specific flood water surface elevations. I have tried…

I am trying to calculate volumes of different layers of asphalt and different layers of groundwork. I've created a template which contains all these layers, where the final groundwork layer is variable (slopes and ramps or not). In my template this layer…

Hi, I am looking for a method to calculate more complex cut/fill volumes with Openroads Designer update 2. This could be easily done with EAV methods, now it seems more cumbersome as EAV tools are not included in the software package anymore. I am aware…

Hi, I come across problem with volumes for volumetric meshes/components. In my example, I have two components that have different shape depending on whether in cut or fill situation and therefore I use component name override to get single continuous…

Hello, I design pavement for the first time via input files and being very delighted :) I have a question about cross section strings and calculating the cross section areas based on these strings which are needed in volume calculating. Is it necessary…

Is it possible to obtain component quantities report and volumes for an area template, if so how is it done regards, Juan Solorzano

I am trying to create a volumes report using end area volumes. When I use Component Quantities from the RoadWay Designer, I can get all components quantities, but when I using End_Area_Volumes from the Cross Sections and used the Volumes as style sheet…

Hi all, I was evaluating my volumes reports generated from "Pavement and Subgrade Design.." from within MX menu with volumes generated by input files. I found some inconsistency which was caused by fact that some strings are not extended - I designed…

I have a set of cross sections with a match line. Is there a way to compute the volumes of a certain width ie -10, +85. I circle the volumes I am looking for and x'd the ones to not include. THe only other way I can think of is to make another set of…
