Description
When it comes to consistent and precise corridor design, it’s all about knowing where you’re going before you even start, especially when it comes to generating accurate earthwork quantities and surfaces that could be handed over for construction purposes. We’ll go over many questions to think about before pushing that assembly through your entire project. We’ll dive into opinions on out-of-the-box subassemblies versus creating your own custom subassemblies, and review some key ones that we’ve created to help streamline the design process. We’ll then cover setting up codes set styles not only to help visualize surface creation but also materials that we can use for quantities. Next, we’ll look at different approaches to modeling unique design elements, and when to throw in the towel on others. We’ll also review surface creation of not only proposed ground but also areas for removal, to help with more-accurate quantities when utilizing tin subtraction and/or average end area.
Key Learnings
- Formulate a road map to create a successful corridor to help in earthwork and quantity takeoff
- Learn about the pros and cons of using custom subassemblies, and review some custom assemblies that can save time
- Learn how to manipulate code set styles to help users visualize surface creation to prevent errors and work redoing
- Learn how to assemble multiple surfaces to aid in earthwork analysis in average end area and tin subtraction
