Spliting up a Mass Haul diagram

[Anonymous]

Civil 3d 2016

Is there a way to "split" a mass haul view?

I'm envisioning how you can set stationing for a profile view but I can't find a setting for that among the properties for a mass haul view.

The goal is to show the mass haul view over several pages.

Thank you.

I don't there is a way to do this but I hope I'm wrong - there has been no development for Mass Haul diagrams at all as far as I recall. I made some suggestions to improve them as they are extremely useful to me but this was the reply received

Due to a low strategic fit, technical feasibility, or the support of your peers, ideas with this status are not being considered for implementation at this time. Thank you for your contribution, every idea has merit. We always encourage you to rework and resubmit these ideas based on feedback received.

So if it isn't possible now then don't hold your breath for it to get added...:)

I was worried that might be the case.

I had read a post you had made from back in 2012 and was hoping that something might have changed since then.

Unfortunately mass haul diagrams aren't sexy and can't sell software like flashy 3D stuff can even though they are arguably of more practical use than fancy fly throughs.

I tend not to print out the mass hauls but I find it easier to extract the volume information in Civil, lump the volumes into say 250m chunks, create an X-Y scatter Chart in Excel and import the Excel Chart back to Civil and manually compute the volumes and haul distances. It's not pretty and very manual and I'm sure it could be programmed in Civil but that's beyond me.
