Volumes in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009

Posted by Darren Noble on November 29, 2008 at 12:15am in Surveying Equipment and Software Talk
Does anybody outhere know how to get a comprehensive, printable volume report out of Civil 3D 2009?I can obviously calculate them, but I want to be able to print out volumes from surfaces - basically to add to my cut/fill plans. All that I can get so far is about 3 lines of text in the command line, not very convincing when you are telling your clients that they have about 750,000 m3 of dirt to move, evewn if I knowits right.Anyway, I hope someone can help me out.ThanksDarrenSurveyors in Western Australia

      Hi Don,

      Thanks very much for your replies, they are very much appreciated.

      I tried your solution, but then, when I tried to execute the report it tells me this:

      "Error displaying report in registered browser The specified file was not found"

      Any Idea what this might be?

        it is trying to write an xml file that can be displayed in your internet browser, on my computer they open automatically, I haven't tried one since I updated to IE 8.... make sure you have pop up blockers etc turned off... ??
        make sure that the data the report is looking for is available??
