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.
