INTRODUCTION:

We are going to start this project by creating surface from the given triangles file & creates the alignment & offset alignments by xref the topo file. Then create view frame groups of alignment. And then prepare sheet set manager for plan – plan sheets. Create appropriate assemblies & subassemblies for corridor modelling. A pipe network also created for the alignment. Allotting appropriate pay items to the area and quantity takeoff is performed, then prepare a sheet set manager for key sheets, plan-plan sheets, plan – profile sheets, cross-sectional sheets & summary sheets & publish as pdf.
