The following prompt is displayed:
Use of curve correction (Yes/No) <Yes>:
4 Specify whether to use curve correction:
n
Type Y to use curve correction.
n
Type N to skip this option.
In normal volume calculations, the length between the end areas on horizontal
curves is taken from the length along the centerline curve. With curve
correction in use, the length is taken from the path of the average centroid of
the areas for a more accurate result.
The following prompt is displayed:
Use of volume adjustment factors (Yes/No) <Yes>:
5 Specify whether to use volume adjustment factors:
n
Type Y to use volume adjustment factors. You are then prompted for the cut
and fill adjustment factors.
n
Type N to skip this option.
NOTE
The values you enter against these prompts are not used in calculating
the Strip surface volumes. The adjustment factors entered in the Design
Control
ä
Volume Adjustment Factors command are used exclusively. If
no data is entered for any or all of the surfaces, then an adjustment
factor of 1 is applied.
The following prompt is displayed:
Output file name <alignment.txt>:
6 Specify an output file name. Include the path and extension when entering the
file name. The default filename and path are set by the Output Settings
command.
The following prompt is displayed:
Strip surface:
7 Select a strip surface. Enter either the top surface or the name of any subsurface.
If you enter a subsurface name, the command calculates the strip volumes of
the surface specified and all surfaces above it.
8 Specify whether you want the outer limits of the strip areas to be determined by
the catch points of the match slopes or by the right-of-way offsets. Specify
which limits to use at the
Strip to Row/Catch) <Catch>
prompt.
The command displays the surfaces being calculated as it generates the strip
volume report. If several surfaces are being calculated, the volumes of each
surface are reported separately.
