| Edit quantity takeoff settings | The settings include the default quantity takeoff criteria used to create material lists and default styles for tables. |
| Create quantity takeoff criteria | Create a list of materials that specifies the surfaces and shapes from which you want to generate volume information. You will map the list entries to actual surfaces and corridor shapes found in the drawing later. |
| Create sample lines | Create sample lines for the alignment along which you are going to generate quantity takeoff information. |
| Create a material list | Select the sample line group and a quantity takeoff criteria, and then map objects in the drawing to the materials listed in the criteria. |
| Add gaps to the material definitions | Add gaps if needed to limit volume calculations to pockets of material. |
| Add subcriteria | Add subcriteria if needed to address more complex material conditions. |
| Generate a quantity takeoff table or report | Display the sectional volume information in a standard Autodesk Civil 3D table format, or view and export the information in XML. |
