Corridor shapes missing in material list

[ETIsthmus]

I'm in the process of trying to get out some earthwork quantities via sections and I'm having the problem of corridor shapes missing from the material list. To complicate it more I am doing earthwork in a file that is referencing (xref) in the Corridor file, that's where the shapes are missing. However, the material list in the Corridor file has all of the shapes. In the snip you can see certain shapes are missing in the EW file compared to the corridor file. Specifically CORR-WALL-278 shapes, that's when I noticed the problem. They are not further down the material list drop-down. I can also confirm these shapes are being built as I have them appearing in section views in the corridor file. 

This is Civil3D 2018, fully updated and hot-fixed as of this post.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @ETIsthmus, a solution for that might be creating a new quantity takeoff criteria. Go to the settings tab in the "Toolspace," look for the Quantity Takeoff collection and Quantity Takeoff Criteria. Right-click and new. When doing this, Civil 3D allows you to "Select" the shape codes (similar to what you are doing) from a drop-down list or "Type" them when the code of your preference is not in the list. Therefore, you have to type the missing shape code (The code spelling must be exactly the same) and add it. Finally, add the other materials of your quantification and press ok. From now on, you will use those quantity takeoff criteria to avoid what you say happens again.

It is worth saying that you can transfer these quantity takeoff criteria between drawings, so you don't have to create them again.

I hope this helps. Have a good day.

Best regards!
