Using Civil 3D to Create a Cut & Fill Earthwork Exhibit
ฝัง

- Civil 3D makes it easy to analyze the volume between two surfaces using the Volumes Dashboard. That being said, if you’d like your earthwork to be a little more “visual” you can also highlight cut/fill areas and depths using custom styles. In this session we’ll explore how to colorize cut and fill areas using a custom surface style. In addition, we’ll look at how a label style can be used to identify the depths of cut and fill throughout a site.
Thank you Jeff! Your videos are always my go-to for quick and easy Civil 3D learning!
Thank you so much!

Dude, Jeff...you are the MAN!
Thank you so much for your support!
Hmm
You always get a lot of work done in 8 minutes! :)
Thank you!
Hahha yes he do
Civil 3D wouldn't be such a powerful tool if you didn't explain how it works, in your way and style, witch is by the way excellent. Calm voice, deep understanding. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Amazing! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
keep coming back to this whenever I need a cut fill exhibit. Thank you. great content
sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost my password. I would love any help you can give me
@Miller Odin Instablaster =)
@Ulises Saint thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Ulises Saint it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Miller Odin Happy to help xD
Is there a way to create a dynamic table that displays volumes in the drawing? i am aware of volume dashboard, but it doesn't seem to be able to produce a dynamic table i can put in the drawing?
Muito obrigado, ótima dica
Sucesso
Thanks, excellent information.
Success,
merci papa! tu ma bcp aide
incredible!! Thanks
You're welcome!
thank you very much
Thanks from myanmar,I am new to Civil3D
You are welcome! Thank you for your support!
Visit my channel to get complete course
what about including cut to bottom of datum? do i need to add that to my corridor surface?
hi Jeff.... Can you make a video about how we can create a label for Cogo point group to show elevation difference from a chosen surface underneath it for all the points in that point group on the screen ? Or at least can you give me the instructions to make it because it is kind of urgent...Thanks for your effort to prepare all of these wonderful videos about civil 3d they brighten our days ...
hi sir jeff, instead of having color filled surface by elevation, i wanted instead by coloring contours only by elevation.and for label elevation i want to expand it to not more than 3 colors only but instead to have colors based in contours different elevation..how to do that?please help me with it..thank you very much..
Great tutorial going to make life quicker well done
Thanks Matt! Glad it helped!
Yes he is nice
Oh god you are great,man
Keep going 😊
Thank you so much 😀
I enjoy your videos very much. They are very helpful. This cannot be called "earthwork" because the proposed comparison surface FG elevations consists of pavement, concrete and base course structural thicknesses that are being included in your volume calculation. Earthwork should be a comparison between a stripped EG surface and the bottom of the proposed surface structural sections (top of sub base). .I only mention this because this is a lack of capability in Civil 3D that has needed to be addressed for years, and hasn't as of yet.
Frederick Ernst yes I use trimble business center HCE for all my volume calcs its very good....i think cad has a way to do sub surfaces...with corridors and pay items but TBC is just so easy....
There is a way to get the earthwork to the bottom of the base. You have to set up a comparison surface. I do it all the time and have areas that are parking stalls with a different thickness than the drive aisle. It's dynamic as well where I can change the thickness of the pavement and it will update the earthwork. Civil 3D can do it, you just have to search. It's a very powerful program. Powerful, flexible and easy to use don't typically go hand in hand.
You’re the man
Is there any way to extract a boundary around a surface analysis objects for example around the cut and fill areas of a surface?
Is there a way in Civil 3d to save your cut fill exhibit analysis color scheme to use with other C3d designs? That would be handy.
Thank You
Hi Jeff I have data short cut a civil 3D alignment, surface and profile info to a new file everything works but the profile they would not come up. Could you shed some light on this issue if possible
How do you account for knowing that the cut areas in the parking lot need to be deeper due to the materials being imported to create those profiles, can you create a cut fill map based off of the expected subgrade surface of a civil site? i.e. true earthwork cut fill?
How can I draw Cut and Fill Line in Plan During Highway Designing as MX Road.
Thank you so much sir you are awesome
You are welcome!
Jeff, Thanks for the video. Question, 5:32 how do you adjust the the location of the grid basepoints after you set them? I didn't click far enough over so part of my surface doesn't have surface labels.
Thank's for a great video! But why don't you use the Cartogramma Utility for this purpose?
Is cartogramma is easy to learn?
What if we only have pdf files for existing condition and grading and pavement plan?
Another great video Jeff. Do you know if it's possible to increase the vertical scale in object viewer so smaller elevation changes are more visible? I find that these small but important vertical changes are especially hard to visualize when viewing a large area in object viewer. Also it would make finding possible errors in a surface much easier to spot.
Thanks for taking the time to create all these great vids.
Hi Steve, Vertical exaggeration of a surface can be done through the style. Select your surface, right click and choose "edit surface style". (Or create a new style) In the Surface Style dialog box, select the Triangles Tab. From here, change the Triangle Display mode to "Exaggerate Elevation". And then assign the scale factor of your choice. Surfaces having an exaggerated vertical scale will display exaggerated in the object viewer. Hope this helps! Thanks for your support!
Couldn't have helped more! Thank you sir!
Steve just Steve this helps as well thank you!
thank you sir!
You are welcome!
Nice video
why for the cut and fill does not need elevation
How to edit the grid after displayed. Let's say I want the grid to be changed to 10' x 10' instead 5' x 5'?// Thanks
Hi, I have this problem, hope you can help me. When i change heigh text value many times then i click "eartkwork plan production" icon, civil 3d immediately crashed. I uninstall civil, window,... but it won't. What should i do?
2:50 i dont understand how do you get max and min of elevation that you mention, can you explain it in detail?
You rock!
Thank you Travis! You made my day!
Thanks Jeff, one thing - I was expecting to see you change the formula of the spot level to upper elevation - lower elevation but this was not done. How is the depth deduced by this spot lv? Are elevations removed from a volumetric surface & replaced with depths?
Hi jeff , i am facing aproblem it shows surfaces donot overlap
Thank you
You're welcome
every time I enter the spot for the upper right corner from the grid square, it just sits there and freezes up. I even did a fresh reinstall of C3D and it does the same thing. Any idea what I can try?
were you able to find a solution ? Be sure that your screen is rotated where the north is UP. this is how Civil 3d understand " UPPER RIGHT CORNER"
thanks
" This is the message I get whe I try placing the grid box: The specified point was not a valid upper right point" any idea?????
Check your north orientation...sometimes CAD considers "upper right" as the northeast corner. Lol I'm assuming in the last 2 years you already figured this out, but just posting this in case someone else is having the same issue.
i am having an issue where when I finish up it only shows the elevation of my surface and not how much I need to excavate, can someone help with this? thank you
You might by chance be applying the surface label to the wrong surface. Make sure you are selecting your cut & fill surface.
HOW DO I DRAW EMBANKMENT LINES IN CAD MODE OR BY USING CIVIL DESIGNER WHICH EVER ONE IS BETTER
Hi, can i ask how you insert your proposed level? I see yours have a 90 degree verticle drop ( probably kerbs) and im having trouble adding those in civil 3d. Adding those as lines would make multiple duplicates with different elevation at drop location.
Anyone know how to have the cut and fill automatically create and include slopes for cut and fill calculation outside of P-Lot Boundary?
Hi, how were you able to know the max elevation of cut and minimum elevation of fill? On the surface properties ranges, does "0" means no change? Is it relative elevation based on the base surface or is it absolute level? Thank you!
EDIT: Now I think I get it, it's because the TIN volume surface elevations represent the difference of elevations. 🤦♂️😅
When you create a volume surface, the elevations of the volume surface represent the “difference” between two surfaces. 0 means no change. Positive elevations reflect fill and negative elevations represent cut. Hope this helps!
@@JeffBartelsCAD Thank you Jeff!
Great >>>>
Thank you!
How to delete the labels on the grid. I selected all and delete . do you have better way ?/
Jenin Nadi Hi Jenin, I would recommend assigning a unique layer to the label style and then toggle the labels on and off by changing the visibility of the layer. Hope this helps!
How do i show the cut area outline?
can i get a video link for food lot grading above
When you did your expression you made the text 0.008 instead of 0.08 but the text seemed to increase after you added this expression! The reason I noticed is my text came in gigantic even tho I set it to the 2mm in my expression. Confused haha
I answered this question for kaackster. Please see my response to his question. Hope this helps!
@@JeffBartelsCAD thanks
why is the text height .008 when in the style dialog it's .08.
It's approx. the difference between decimal feet and decimal inches. When manually entering a text height in the style dialog box, the dialog box assumes you are entering inches. When the value comes from an expression, the dialog box assumes you are referencing the drawing units (or feet). Since I didn't require precise text heights for this exhibit, I just added a "0" (.008) rather than calculating the actual conversion of .00666666667. (If you watch closely, you'll actually see the labels get slightly larger after I apply the expression.) Hope this helps! Thanks for your support!
thanks for the reply Jeff. You always do a fantastic job with your videos.
you are showing drawing in feets in countours but how to change the drawing in meters in contours - please send
Can you share your earthworks style pls
dud why you dont put the link of the projetc to downlaod
Yes please
how to edit expression? where the tab to edit that?
I want report about the is
