Use this tab to view and edit the material lists for a sample line group and add and delete materials from a list.
Adds a new empty criteria to a material list. After you add the criteria, you can edit its quantity type and settings and use the Define Material fields to populate it with data.
Opens the Name Template dialog box, where you can modify the material naming template.
Adds a subcriteria to an empty material or to a material with existing subcriteria. For more information, see To Calculate Volumes for Overlapping Materials or Overhangs.
Deletes the material or data component that is currently selected in the Material Name column.
Specifies the type of data that is compared and processed when defining the material. Either Surface or Corridor Shape.
Lists sampled surfaces and corridor shapes for this sample line group. Select a surface or corridor shape.
Adds the data specified in the Define Material fields to the selected material type.
The properties table contains the following columns:
Names of material lists, material names, surfaces, and corridor shapes arranged in a tree or hierarchy. Each instance of applying criteria to materials in a sample line group is added as a numbered list. List names can be edited.
Click next to a list name to display its components (materials). Click next to a material name to display its components (surfaces or structures).
Right-click a material list or a material name in a list to access context menus with commands for working with the lists and the materials.
Commands are available on the material list context menu for adding, deleting, copying, cutting, and pasting materials, and removing duplicated materials. The Remove Duplicated Criterias command compares the current material list against all the other material lists and removes any materials that are duplicates. This command only removes duplicates in the selected material list. In addition to comparing the selected material list against all other material lists, the command also examines the material definitions and sub-criteria definitions inside the current list and removes the duplicated ones there also if any are detected.
Commands are available on the material context menu for deleting, copying, cutting, and pasting materials, and for zooming to materials and section views in the drawing. The Zoom To First Material command zooms to the material on a section view that corresponds to the first sample line where the material is found. The Zoom To First Section View command zooms to the section view that corresponds to the first sample line where the material is found. The Paste Materials as SubCriterias command is available on the menu if you have cut or copied materials. When this command is used, if the material you paste into has criteria, then the existing criteria will be demoted to subcriteria.
Specifies the condition on which to base the calculation:
Specifies the quantity type:
Specifies the expansion or swell of the cut material.
Specifies a factor to accommodate for the contraction or shrinkage of the fill material.
Specifies usability factor used to calculate how much cut material can be reused as fill.
Specifies the default style used to display the material in a section view.
Specifies the curve correction tolerance, if any, that was specified when the criteria was applied. To edit the value, select the check box, and then edit the value.
Defines and applies gaps to accommodate non-contiguous pockets of materials. Click in the column to display either the Define Gaps or Apply Gaps dialog box.
For more information, see Defining Gaps and Pockets of Materials.
Specifies which method is used to calculate volumes. For more information, see About Analyzing Sectional Volumes.
Prompts you to add a new materials list to the sample line group. Prompts you to select a criteria and opens the Compute Materials dialog box.
