How to add soil type information on plan, profile view band and section view

[Anonymous]

Hello Everybody

I am from Nepal and its a Himalayan country having many hills and mountains.

For the road design in hilly and mountainous regions, For the tender purpose, I need to define the different cutting slope for the different soil type like this, 

which varies the cutting volume too. (soil type information are provided by geotechnical engineers)

Example;

Chainage 0+000 to 2+000 = Medium rock

Chainage 2+000 to 3+500 = Ordinary soil

Now, 

How can I add these soil type information in plan profile view band and cross-sections and how can I provide different cutting slope in daylight to create corridor? I would be thankful if anybody gives the solution.

Hi,

For Profile:

You can create an empty band style and show or add the varied slope information for the profile segment for example from station 0+000.000 to 0+950.00 is soft soil and etc.

For Cross Section:

You have to create various types of assembly with slope differ then you can easily generate the sections as per standards and show these information as well.

For Plan:

You can add simple annotation.

Using reference text option may be can play around and get what you want not sure you may achieve what you want completely or half.

you can share the sample drawing where its already show or done in previous projects for better understanding and sort out the current project.

You will need to assume one of the slopes for each of the types rather than a range e.g ordinary soil 1:1 or it will get very complicated. You will also need to get the geotechs to provide surfaces of the various geological horizons.

There are assemblies that can deal with various horizons in cuttings (not in front of Civil 3D at present so can't advise the names) or sub assembly composer may be a (more involved) alternative.

First step though is find the extent and depths of the various horizons
