HOW TO CALCULATE VOLUME FROM SURVEYING DATA USING AUTOCAD CIVIL 3D

HOW TO CALCULATE VOLUME FROM SURVEYING DATA USING AUTOCAD CIVIL 3D.
STEP 1 - OPEN CIVIL 3D AND OPEN A NEW METRIC TEMPLATE.
STEP 2 - MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SURVEYING DATA WITH CSV FORMAT; IF YOU DON’T HAVE,
FOLLOW THE STEPS
STEP 3 -IF YOU HAVE EXCEL FILE, OPEN IT AND DELETE UNWANTED ROWS AND COLUMNS TO KEEP ONLY X,Y,Z AXIS
SELECT ALL CELLS AND CHANGE IT TO GENERAL NUMBER FORMAT; SAVE AS TYPE CSV COMMA DELIMITED.
STEP 4 -GO TO CIVIL 3D - INSERT- POINTS FROM FILE- ADD NEW CSV FILE.
YOU CAN SEE ALL THE X Y Z ON THE PREVIEW BOX - OK.
STEP 5 -SELECT A POINT - POINT GROUP PROPERTIES- POINT LABEL STYLE- HERE I EDIT ELEVATION AND TEXT COLOR , YOU CAN EDIT AS YOUR REQUIREMENTS
STEP 6 – TO VOLUMES CALCULATIONS WE SHOULD NEED TWO SURFACES BASE SURFACE AND COMPARISON SURFACE
WE NEED TO CREATE BASE LINE; I’M USING 3DPOLY COMMAND - CREATE 3DPOLY LINE TO SELECT ALL THE BASE LINES.
STEP 7 -CREATE TWO SURFACES- 1. BASE SURFACES AS A BASE LEVEL 2. COMPARISON SURFACE AS STOCK LEVELS.
STEP 8 - GO TO BASE LEVEL PROPERTIES - RIGHT CLICK ON CONTOURS- ADD - OK- SELECT THE BASE LINE WHICH CREATED. NOW BASE SURFACE READY.
STEP 9 -GO TO STOCK LEVEL PROPERTIES - RIGHT CLICK ON POINT FILES- ADD CSV FILE. NOW BASE COMPARISON SURFACE ALSO READY. FROM OBJECT VIEWER WE CAN CHECK 3D VIEWS OF THE SURFACES.
STEP 10 -SELECT THE SURFACES AND CLICK VOLUMES DASHBOARD- CREATE NEW VOLUME SURFACE- EDIT NAME - SELECT BASE SURFACES AS A BASE LEVEL - SELECT COMPARISON SURFACES AS A STOCK LEVELS-
CLICK ON INSERT CUT/FILL SUMMERY.
