1 NOTES Module 11 Subdivision Cross Sections and Quantities Quantity calculation and cross section generation are required elements of subdivision design projects. After the design is completed and approved by the governing agencies, the next step is for the engineer to tender (or bid) the project for construction. The tendering process involves soliciting construction bids from several construction companies. The construction companies, or contractors, submit their bids based on their calculated cost for completing the work. These costs are mostly based on material quantities. Design cross sections display the engineering details of the road that are required for construction. Design cross sections are generated at intervals along the alignment and show the configuration of the proposed road at various locations. In this module, you learn how to generate cross sections and calculate quantities for roads in a subdivision. Objectives After completing this module, you will be able to: Create quantity takeoff criteria. Create and edit sample lines. Create section views showing the road design. Modify sample line group properties. Create a code set style and label cross sections. Calculate subdivision quantities, generate quantity reports, and create a quantity table.

2 AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 Education Curriculum NOTES Notes Data for this module resides in the \AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 Education Curriculum\Module 11 Subdivision Cross Sections and Quantities\ folder. Student Exercises The following exercises are provided in step-by-step format. Open the AutoCAD Civil 3D program prior to beginning the lesson by double-clicking the Civil 3D icon on your desktop. Those working in the Imperial system should use the drawing files beginning with the letter I, while those working in the metric system should use the drawing files beginning with the letter M. You are provided with a drawing for each exercise in the lesson. The exercises in this module are as follows: 1. Create Quantity Takeoff Criteria 2. Create and Edit Sample Lines 3. Create Section Views 4. Modify Sample Line Group Properties 5. Create a Code Set Style and Label Cross Sections 6. Calculate Quantities, Generate a Report, and Create a Table 11-2

3 Module 11 Subdivision Cross Sections and Quantities NOTES Subdivision Cross Sections and Quantities In this module, you learn how to generate section views and calculate quantities for roads in a subdivision. The first step in the process is to generate cross section sample lines. Sample lines are created perpendicular to an alignment and at specific intervals. These are required for both quantity calculation and the generation of section views. The source data required for creating section views and calculating quantities includes the existing ground surface, corridor cross section, and corridor surface cross section. The corridor cross section is the sampled cross section of the corridor model at each sample line location. The existing ground and corridor surface cross section are the sampled surfaces at each sample line location. Corridor cross sections and existing ground cross sections are displayed in section views. Subdivision road volume calculations typically account for only the pavement structure materials. These include asphalt (surface course and binder course) and granular (base and subbase) materials. To calculate pavement structure volumes, corridor cross section data is attached to the cross section sample lines when the sample lines are created. Earthworks quantities are typically not calculated as part of subdivision road quantities. These are most often determined as part of an overall site grading quantity. You begin this module by creating quantity takeoff criteria to calculate 11-3

4 AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 Education Curriculum NOTES pavement structure quantities. The quantity takeoff criteria is general criteria and is stored in a drawing template (DWT). It specifies the types of quantities to be calculated and how the quantities will be calculated. When the corridor model is created, the material names in the corridor do not always match the materials names in quantity takeoff criteria. To calculate the quantities, you assign the corridor material names to the material names in the quantity takeoff criteria. You then create and edit the width of the cross section sample lines. These are organized into a sample line group. The sample line group is a collection of sample lines for an alignment. Once the sample lines have been edited, the next step is to create the section views in the drawing. The section views are the grids that contain the corridor cross section data and the existing ground cross section data. 11-4

5 Module 11 Subdivision Cross Sections and Quantities NOTES You then learn how to modify the properties of the sample line group. This is useful when a new surface is generated that is required for either display in the section views for quantity calculation. The next step is to label the corridor cross section data. You apply offset and elevation labels to the pavement edges and slope labels to the pavement surfaces. This module finishes with a quantity calculation, the generation of a quantity report, and the creation of volume tables in the drawing. 11-5

6 AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 Education Curriculum NOTES Key Terms Quantity Takeoff Criteria Material List Sample lines Section View Group Plot Style Surface Section Corridor Section ETW Section Point Section Link Section Shape Code Set Style Quantity takeoff criteria specifies which quantities are calculated, the types of quantities, and how the quantities are calculated. Quantity takeoff criteria is applied to a sample line group to create a material list. The material list is created when quantity takeoff criteria is applied to a sample line group. You use the material list to generate quantity takeoff reports and tables. Sample lines are created for a horizontal alignment and are required for the creation of section views and for calculating quantities. Sample lines are created in plan view at a specific interval and are usually perpendicular to the alignment. You attach source data to sample lines when they are created. The section view is a gridded plot that shows cross section data. Section data can consist of surface data, corridor data, or even pipe network data. The group plot style determines the orientation and position of the section views in the drawing. A surface section object is displayed in the section views and shows the cross section of a sampled Civil 3D surface. Surface section data is attached to sample lines when they are created. Surface section data can be used to calculate earth cut and fill quantities for a road. A corridor section is displayed in the section views and shows the cross section of a sampled corridor model. Corridor section data is attached to sample lines when they are created. Corridor section data can be used to calculate corridor material volumes. ETW stands for edge of traveled way. This is the Civil 3D code for a point on the edge of pavement. A section point is a singular location on a cross section. Examples of section points include edge of traveled way (ETW) and inside edge of sidewalk (Sidewalk_In). Section points are used to create the longitudinal corridor feature lines. Section points can be annotated with offset and elevation labels in the section view. A section link connects section points. Section links can be used to create corridor surfaces. They can also be annotated with grades in section views. A section shape connects the section points. Section shapes can be used to calculate material volume from corridor cross section data. Section shapes can also be annotated with end area data. A code set style automatically assigns marker styles to section points, link styles to section links, and shape styles to section shapes. A code set style can also automatically assign labels to section points, links, and shapes to corridor 11-6

8 AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 Education Curriculum NOTES EXERCISE 1: CREATE QUANTITY TAKEOFF CRITERIA Civil 3D calculates quantities using quantity takeoff criteria. Quantity takeoff criteria associate a user-defined material name with an actual material. Corridor quantities can be of type cut, fill, cut and refill, earthworks, or structures. In this exercise, you create quantity takeoff criteria that is used to calculate the quantities for the pavement structure for the Cedar Cove corridor. The completed quantity takeoff criteria appears as shown. To help you to better understand corridor cross sections, refer to the illustration as shown. Points are singular locations on the corridor cross sections and originate from the subassemblies. You can use points to create offset-elevation labels and to create Civil 3D points for construction staking. Links connect the points and are used to create corridor surfaces. You can also label links with grades and slopes. Shapes connect the links and are used to calculate corridor section volumes. You can also label shape end areas. 11-8

9 Module 11 Subdivision Cross Sections and Quantities NOTES Civil 3D assigns default names to points, links, and shapes. For example, in Civil 3D the edge of pavement is referred to as edge of traveled way, or ETW. The four layers of a pavement structure are Pave1 (surface course), Pave2 (binder course), Base (upper granular layer), and Subbase (lower granular layer).

43 Module 11 Subdivision Cross Sections and Quantities NOTES Questions Answers 1. What is quantity takeoff criteria used for? Do you need to create new quantity takeoff criteria for every project? 2. Do you need sample lines to calculate quantities? Explain. 3. Explain the difference between a section view and cross section data. 4. What is the best way to annotate corridor data in a section view? 5. How do you organize the layout of the section views in a drawing? 1. Quantity takeoff criteria specifies which quantities are calculated, the types of quantities, and how the quantities are calculated. Quantity takeoff criteria is applied to a sample line group to create a material list. Quantity takeoff criteria is a general definition, is stored in a drawing template file, and can be used on different projects. 2. Sample lines are required for the calculation of quantities. When quantities are computed, a material is created and applied to the sample line group. 3. A section view is the plot that shows the cross section data. Cross section data can be surface data, corridor data, or pipe data. 4. To annotate corridor data in a section view, you create a code set style. The code set style automatically assigns labels to corridor section points, links, and shapes. 5. A group plot style controls the position and orientation of section views in the drawing

44 AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 Education Curriculum NOTES Module Summary In this module, you learned how to create sample lines, generate section views, calculate corridor material volumes, generate volume reports, and create corridor volume tables. The module began with the creation of quantity takeoff criteria. This is used to identify the materials, the types of quantities the material represents, and how the quantities are calculated. Next, you created and edited sample lines. Surface and corridor data are attached to sample lines, which are organized into a sample line group. The sample line group is associated with a control alignment. The next step was to plot the section views. The section view style was used to control the display of the section views. You then modified the properties of the sample line group to attach different source data to the sample lines. Section view data was automatically updated based on changes made to the sample line group properties. You then created a code set style to automatically label offsets, elevations, and grades for key corridor locations in the section views. The module finished with the calculation of material quantities, the generation of a quantity report, and the creation of a quantity table in the drawing
