Analyzing Sectional Volumes

Topics in this section

About Analyzing Sectional Volumes
Use the material volumes functionality to extract and report sectional material volumes, based on sample line groups.
About Sampling Sectional Volumes Across Multiple Baselines
You can include multiple baselines in a corridor volume calculation, but you should make sure that the assumptions for the volume calculation method are satisfied. That is, the distance (L) must be accurate for all baselines.
About Quantity Takeoff Criteria
Create quantity takeoff criteria in preparation for generating quantity takeoff tables or reports.
To Work With Quantity Takeoff Criteria
About Generating Material Lists for Sample Line Groups
Use the Compute Materials command to generate a material list for a sample line group.
To Generate a Material List for a Sample Line Group
About Defining Gaps and Pockets of Materials for a Material List
In situations where volume computation should not occur, you can define gaps in the materials.

About Calculating Volumes for Overlapping Materials or Overhangs
You can accommodate complex volume situations by defining subcriteria.

To Review Sectional Volume Results Graphically
About Creating Sectional Volume Tables and Reports
Use the table and report creation commands to analyze sectional volumes.
