Additional Information
- Section view QTO table = Section view Quantity takeoff table
- Do not confuse Section view QTO MATERIAL table with Section view QTO TOTAL VOLUME table. Both can be inserted from the Sample line group properties dialog and appear in section views, but the latter do NOT show separate name, area, volume for each material.
- Also Do not confuse Section view QTO tables with "Material Volume Table" or "Total Volume Table" (the two buttons on Analyze ribbon tab). The latter does NOT appear in each section view. "Material Volume Table" provides a summary for only ONE material; while "Total Volume Table" provides summary for a mixture of all materials in the form of combined cut, fill;
- Values exported from section views' QTO table are read directly from the "Section view Quantity TakeOff table" (Material type). To increase the precision of decimal values, table style needs editing and Section view Quantity TakeOff tables (Material type) need updating/ inserting again;
- Unavailable values are marked with "<N/A>" string;
- App provides different interface for Metric and Imperial mode of Autodesk® Civil 3D®.
