Slope Stake Reports

[DesigningAway]

Hi Folks - would anyone have any ideas as to why the "cut/fill" numbers are all at zero in my report?  All the offsets and the design elevations show just fine....

Any thoughts you may have would be appreciated...

Post your data...

Hi Tim - here is a screen shot of the report.  Civil 3D 2011 works fine for my older drawings but 2012 won't do it...

Your report is showing cut and fill areas and cumulative volume. I am not sure what the C value on left and right are supposed to represent, but my report in 2013 displays exactly as yours. What does it say in that column in 2011?

[DesigningAway]

That column should give you the vertical cut/fill distance at the designated offset (in this case, its the bottom of the V-ditch.  When the slope stake is pounded into the ground in the field it needs to read "C 0.28m @ 1.771m Offset"...

The 0.28m is the difference between design and existing and the offset is the horizontal difference between the hinge and the daylight.  The offset is used so the stake can stay in the ground at the daylight point and not get damaged by the contractor...

I found a bug in the 2012 code that causes this. For some reason an Autodesk programmer decided to switch 2 lines of code, but the order they were in in 2011 was correct. By switching them in 2012 it essentially sets the last 2 points equal, giving you the all 0's.

If you can edit and compile the .NET source code, these are the lines that need to be corrected in the formatPointDatas method in the CorridorSlopeStake_ExtractData.vb file:

lastPointData = pointData
last2PointData = lastPointData

switch them to be:

last2PointData = lastPointData
lastPointData = pointData

If you cannot make these changes yourself, I will try to post an updated DLL file for you.

Attached is a ZIP file with the updated C3DReport.dll for C3D2012 64-bit. Replace the existing dll at C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 2012\enu\Data\Reports\Net\ with this one

[Jeff_M]

And for anyone searching about this for C3D2013, the same problem exists in that version as well. 

Tim, you want to use your connections to report this as a bug? 

[DesigningAway]

Great work Jeff!  Thanks alot...I really appreciate it...

Jeff,

When I place that dll in that path, I get nada. Nothing happens, no dialog, nothing. I can cancel the command and get back to a command line.  For now, I've renamed the old one back to the original.  Ideas?

[Jeff_M]

Sorry, Lisa, I should have noted this procedure.....Win7 (and Vista, I think) flags downloaded zip files as possible 'bad' files. Before extracting anything from them, right-click on the downloaded file, choose Properties, near the bottom of the General tab will be a button "Unblock". Select this, press OK, then extract the DLL. This should allow it to work for you.

I have submitted a support case detailing this defect...

Hi all - has anyone noticed that since the Service Pack 2 was installed that 'C' for cut and 'F' for fill are now backwards in the slope stake report?  Mine is now that way for some reason...anyone else run into this?
