How to Utilize Your Design to Gather and Convey Important Information about How the Project will be Built and What it will Cost

Additional Exercise;

In this exercise, you learned how to utilize your design to gather and convey important information about how the project will be built and what it will cost. One might argue that a design is only as good as the information it is able to convey. As you learned in this discussion, the models you create in Civil 3D must provide adequate and accurate information to be taken into the field and constructed using real materials such as soil, asphalt, and concrete.

In the additional exercise, you will employ your knowledge of the quantity analysis and sheet production functions that you studied in this chapter to convey even more information about the example design.

Open the drawing named Sheets and Quantities Beyond.dwg located in the Chapter 19 class data folder.
This drawing contains an alternate layout for the detention pond in a different location. Complete the following tasks to generate information about the design and create documentation of the design.
  • Use QTO Manager to assign the Chain Link Fence pay item to the fence around the pond and on the north side of the conservation area. Run a report to determine the length of the fence.
  • Compute materials for the corridor along the Madison Lane alignment and create a material volume report to determine the volume of asphalt, base, subbase, and curb.
  • Create view frames and plan and profile sheets for Madison Lane.
