existing ground not shown in "corridor section editor"

[sobhani_sh]

I've worked with LDD for 11 yrs. Last week the IT guys changed my PC to Windows 7 64bit, so I can't have LDD and I have to work with C3D. so I am following software tutorials.

for designing a road I created:

alignment ---> surface profile ---> layout profile (project line) ---> assembly ---> subassemblies ---> corridor ---> set target surface and frequencies

Corridor is created with daylights ,but I don't see existing ground in corridor section editor.

There is nothing about this in tutorial.

also I don't know how to calculate the volumes, in LDD after this stage we could calculate the volumes. i think in C3D I should do more for calculation.

please let me know the solution (for EG line).

Thanks

If you would send me your email address I can probably send you a pdf document that can answer most if not all of your questions.

Check your surface style and in the Display Tab, under SECTION pulldow make sure it is ON

I can't find it, all layers in other menus are on.

Wanted to throw this out there.  I was/am having this problem every time I use the section editor, and I am doing a 'regen' to solve the problem.  Hope this helps!

Try again as steve said, Go to Toolspace -> Surfaces -> Right Click on your EG surface and select Edit Surface Style...

Go to Display tab, choose Section from the View Direction: dropdown

In the Visible column left click on the light globe to make sure it is lit (on) click ok.

Go to section editor.

The section view styles and section styles only relate to  how things appear in section views. The appearance of surfaces in the section editor is controlled by the surface style.
