1. Total Volume Tables vs Material Tables

Section view tables are created at the same time of Section view creation, or later, through Sample line group properties/Section views/Change Volume Tables…

Using the “Change Volume tables” dialog, user can: 

• Add tables of specific type and style to section views

• Edit table style, which include the column headers, column contents & formulas, table title…

• Edit tables position on section views

There are 2 types of Section view volume tables:   (1) Total volume tables  and  (2) Material tables.   We focus on (2) Material tables

Hint: Do not confuse with the Analyze\Volumes and Materials panel.  The tables created from that panel are Summary tables.

2. Constraints of built-in Section view Material Tables

• The value types that can be reported in a table are limited.  For material, the reportable values are: 

- Material name

- Material area (Material Length is not reported)

- Material incremental volume (volume between this and previous cross-section)

- Material cumulative volume (sum of volume from first cross-section to this section)

(Material term here means: all materials defined in the selected Material List)

• No custom formulas are accepted here, all the material area multiply factor, material area combining.. must be defined in Material List.

• Tables are not editable nor exportable
