In the new version due to be released in the next couple of months, we will allow users to create point groups and surfaces at either true elevation or by depth down hole from any data in HoleBASE SI.

The major expense is the rock for the running surfaces i.e. borrow pit or import but this is very simple to calculate accurately anyway.<br /><br />I've been kind of using Infraworks for a small windfarm development in Northern Ireland but can't get the corridor surface to appear above the existing ground. Also been looking into 3ds Max Design for visuals but I'm very impressed with the speed of Infraworks in spinning around in 3D etc NeilJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668537166861456304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889543902041243966.post-74134902209278201212013-05-29T08:53:07.185+01:002013-05-29T08:53:07.185+01:00Neil,

Every time I start a new job the workflow changes slightly and improves.<br /><br />I haven't done any comparisons on volumes but I would think the difference would be hard to spot given that neither is a 100% true representation of the actual. Using curves wins for me though given how easy it makes to edit. You could probably get away with smaller radii than I did in the video.<br /><br />Have you started using Infraworks for any Windfarm jobs yet? I was uploading a scenario from it for use at a meeting through the web viewer and noticed that if you do a slope or elevation analysis in IW the analysis wont show in the online viewer... hope they add this in next release.Donal McMorelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02440880792459948241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889543902041243966.post-1844900884018951212013-05-29T08:32:36.566+01:002013-05-29T08:32:36.566+01:00Donal

AIM will also style the alignment from Civil 3D so what you see in the T8 image is an AIM road style (grey lanes with road marking) applied to the alignment overlaid on the blacktop render material from the corridor. The road style is a default width and doesn't extend out to the hardstand extents. If I didn't apply a style to the alignment in AIM the entire road would be black similar to the hardstand.Donal McMorelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02440880792459948241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889543902041243966.post-1243911788078159352013-02-18T13:32:01.157+00:002013-02-18T13:32:01.157+00:00Nice work...

Because I am trying this and my corridor in Civil3D has e.g. a Green Space between the roads. However, the import in AIM only shows the two lanes and two sidewalks (same as your image T8 at the turbine).
