corridor road structure quantities

I have created a 6.5km long corridor and i now need to pull the quantities of the 3 layers of road structure. My assemly is set up so that the left and right side tie back into existing ditch's, so i have alignments and profiles set up for each ditch. My main question is what is the best way to get the quantities for each individual layer of road structure. I've been trying to use the corridor properties to create surfaces at each level but i have had mixed results mostly because I am having trouble figuring out the which link codes to use in the surface and which ones to use as the boundary. Is the method i am trying to use correct and if so any guidance would be appreciated or is there a different / better method i should be using. I am using Civil 3D 2008.

 

Thanks in advance.

You don't need to create surfaces to get your material quantities, assuming your roadway lane subassembly has material codes (such as Pave 1, Pave 2, Base, Subbase, etc).   Adjust the material thicknesses in the subassembly properties dialog box so the thicknesses in your corridor are correct per your desired road section design. 

 

Create section lines through your corridor: Sections --> Create Section Lines

Compute material volumes per the sections:  Corridors --> Compute Materials

  In the Compute Materials dialog box, for Quantity Takeoff Criteria select Roadway Quantities.

 

  Now map each material criteria to a subassembly corridor shape.  For example, map Pave 1 to "MyCorridor Pave1".  Continue for all the necessary material criterea. 

 

Finally add a table:  Sections --> Add Tables --> Material Volumes.  Select the appropriate alignment, sample line group, material list, and material.  One material per table, so Pave 1 will be one table, Pave 2 another, and so on.

(6.5) X W X depth(layer)= Vol

 

If you want to verify Civil3d.

 

Pardon me if I over simplified

Thank you

"In the Compute Materials dialog box, for Quantity Takeoff Criteria select Roadway Quantities."

 

This is exactly what i'm looking for, however I can't seem to figure out this part of the solution. Could someone point me in the right direction. Thanks.
