Displaying Cut/Fill Using Volume Surface Analysis

I'm trying to find the volume between two surfaces, which I have done successfully. Now, however, I want to display which areas of the surface are cut and which are fill. I've watched the volume surface tutorial, and I've been all through the forum. Nothing I do plots the green and red on the surface. All I see is a translucent white surface. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you had posted that drawing it would probably be an easy fix.  IF this translucent white surface is a true surface, just change the style and use contours.  A "0" contour is 0 cut or fill.

Or post your drawing

Here is the drawing. The red and green are the existing surface contours, the purple and blue are the proposed contours, and the translucent white surface is the volume surface I created between them. I'm not sure how to change the surface style; I'm new to Civil 3D. I thought I was doing it, but then nothing happened.Stripping Image.JPG

Well, that is not a drawing, it is just a picture.

Sorry

OK try this:

Have your Properties window opened.

Select your surface.

The second line of the Properties line should be Style

Select different versions that are available with the dropdown.

Hey!

Do a surface elevation analisys with 3 intervals:

<0

0

>0

Then, make the surface style so it displays ELEVATION analisys.

That should take care of your problem.
