Use the table and report creation commands to analyze sectional volumes.
You can create tables and reports for:
The results of a quantity takeoff calculation are displayed using one of the following three methods:
A Total Volume Table contains cut, fill, and cumulative volume information (for example, an earthworks or cut/fill report).
A Material Volume Table contains cut, fill, and cumulative volume information for a specific material in the material list (for example, the cumulative volume of a structure element).
A Quantities Report is an XML format file that contains the criteria definition (comparable surfaces), material types (such as cut type), shrink and swell factors, as well as refill factors. The specific format is determined by the style sheet you select.
Before you create a quantity takeoff report or table, materials must be defined in the Sample Line Group properties or computed using the Compute Materials command.
You can display quantity takeoff information using standard Autodesk Civil 3D table formats or view and export it in an XML format file.
Three style sheets installed with Autodesk Civil 3D are used to create external quantity takeoff reports:
