Station earthwork report with alignment but no corridor?

    Is there a way to generate a station by station earthwork report without having a surface created from a corridor? 

     

    I have an alignment, but there is not enough information from the designer to build the corridor surface correctly. I have a full finish design surface made from just line work.

    Tylor,

     

    You can add the surface that you have created to a corridor. You would use the Instruction Type (Surface) in the template editor.

    As Mike points out if you use the Alignment that you have created for Stationing, then you can create a Corridor Model, reference the Original Ground as the OG surface and also add it as a reference surface. Then create a template at the start station for the corridor, callit T1 for example. Now in the Template Editor, use the Instruction Type "Surface" and add the Finished Grade Surface - then tag it as the Finish Material Layer. If you have an OG and a Finished Grade surface in the corridor - as you slide through the alignment you will see the two surfaces sliced in the section and you should see a colored fill for Cut or Fill Areas between the two. If they do not tie correctly then you may have to add a Sideslope instruction to the left and right ends of FG surface to make it close out the area between the two surfaces. If e.g. the OG is narrower than the FG then you may need to extend the OG surface by adding an Edge Breakline and then offsetting it and add the new line to the OG surface so that it extends beyond the FG surface left and Right. But for sure if you only have surfaces you can do this easily.

     

    Once you have this done you can add Subgrade surfaces if you need to to reduce the amount of Fill / increase the cut, and you can run the Corridor Earthwork report to get your quantities.by Station range (End Section method)

    Thank you! 

    I'm having trouble getting the new surface to display though... I created MEA (Finish) by using a given alignment and using the surface instruction to add MID_ENTRY_ROAD_(1) to the corridor. Now it has that red exclamation point and won't show in 3D or 2D. Any ideas?

    If you have set your surface to be rebuild by user then right click on the surface and you should have an option rebuild surface.
    But most likely something is wrong in the template definition or the corridor.
    Can you right click on your template "SURF" and then edit and post a screen shot of the whole screen.
    And maybe also on the corridor "MEA" and edit and post a screen shot of that panel.

    Or upload the project here.
