INTRODUCTION

These step-by-step instructions will lead you through the workflow procedure in order to get familiar with the software environment. »Starter .dwg files« should be used.

In this tutorial you will learn how to define planimetry polygons, which represent borders of planimetry quantities. In the next step you will learn how to calculate the quantities by sections as well as the summary for the whole area.

1. PLANIMETRY

Based on constructed cross-sections, it is possible to precisely calculate cut, fill and other volumes. The calculation is made based on so-called planimetry polygon lines that represent borders of planimetry quantities.

Open the drawing »Cross sections.dwg«.

1.1 Surface course

1. From the Ribbon under Cross Sections tab, on Mass calculation panel click on the icon

Planimetry .

2. In dialog box define a set of cross sections, where quantities should be defined. Press

button to select all cross sections. 3. Type of planimetry quantity: Area(2)

List of materials: Surface_course

4. Settings: Planimetry-polygon definition: Inner point Additional settings: Use only TCS elements

5. Confirm with OK.

6. Select line Lane_L1 and a point below this line.

7. Once again click on icon Planimetry , parameters stay the same. In the drawing

select line Lane_L2 and a point below this line.

8. Repeat the procedure. In Settings, as planimetry-polygon definition define Between two polylines. Additional setting: Under reference-polyline.

9. Confirm with OK.

10. As reference polygon select Lane_R2 (1) and press Enter. As second polygon select lines which represent polygon borders (2, 3, 4).

1.2 Binder course

1. Continue with the second pavement layer. In Define quantities dialog box, on List of materials select Binder course.

Planimetry-polygon definition: Inner point

2. Select the upper line of an appropriate polygon and a point below this line.

3. Repeat the procedure for Lane_L2 and Lane_R2.

1.3 Base course

1. Click on the icon Planimetry .

2. In dialog box define a set of cross sections, where quantities should be defined. Press

button to select all cross sections.

3. Type of planimetry quantity: Area(2) List of materials: Base Planimetry-polygon definition: Inner point Additional settings: Use only TCS elements

4. Select the upper line of an appropriate Polygon (1) and a point below this line.

1.4 Subbase course

1. Click on the icon Planimetry .

2. In dialog box define a set of cross sections, where quantities should be

defined. Press button to select all cross sections.

3. Type of planimetry quantity: Area(2) List of materials: Sub_base Planimetry-polygon definition: Inner point Additional settings: Use only TCS elements

4. Select the upper line of an appropriate Polygon (1) and a point below this line.

1.5 Fill

1. Click on the icon Planimetry .

2. In dialog box define a set of cross sections, where quantities should be

defined. Press button to select all cross sections.

3. Type of planimetry quantity: Area(2) List of materials: Fill Planimetry-polygon definition: Between two polylines

Additional settings: Above reference- polyline.

4. As reference polygon select Terrain Line and press Enter. As second polygon select lines which represent polygon borders (left embankment, left shoulder, Lane_L2, Lane_L1, Lane_R1, Lane_R2, right shoulder, right embankment).

1.6 Cut

1. Click on the icon Planimetry .

2. In dialog box define a set of cross sections, where quantities should be

defined. Press button to select all cross sections.

3. Type of planimetry quantity: Area(2) List of materials: Cut Planimetry-polygon definition: Between two polylines

Additional settings: Under reference- polyline.

4. As reference polygon select Terrain Line and press Enter. As second polygon select lines which represent polygon borders (left ditch's embankment, ditch bottom, right ditch's embankment, left road embankment).

2. QUANTITY TAKE - OFF

The command calculates the quantities by sections as well as the summary for the whole area. The results can be saved to a file and/or displayed in the drawing.

1. From the Ribbon under Cross Sections tab, on Mass calculation panel click Quantity

takeoff.

2. In dialog box define a set of cross sections, where quantities should be calculated. Press

button to select all cross sections.

3. Calculate by cross sections: Check Insert in drawing; select a point in the drawing you want to have materials listed. Text height: 1.5 mm Number of decimal places: 3

4. Summary of quantities: Calculation method: Standard Check Insert in drawing; select a point in the drawing you want to have table inserted. Table style: ARO_MAINPTSTBL Check Add alignment name alongside profile name label

5. Confirm with OK.
