Is there any way to delete all of the items in the volumes dashboard and re-add them so they sort correctly?
Or is there any way to sort items in the Volumes Dashboard?
Or delete multiple items from the dashboard (ctrl+select)

Using Sheet Views Creatively – Managing Material Lists in Autocad
If you not using any dynamic referencing for your materials. or having problems managing repeating items in your drawings. Read on
See the screen shot below of my sheet views list from one of the jobs I am working on.
Whenever you have a bunch of materials been called out. Unit 1,2 etc… I have been using sheetviews to link them back to my drawings. Saves a whole bunch of time when it comes to fixing it all up later!
All I do is create an empty layout view under the category “materials”.
I also posted a screen shot to show you how much of the drawing can be controlled from this magical little list.
All you need is a Sheet Set… and comment below if you want to know more
Cumulative Volumes and Other Maths Functions in Civil 3D tables
Be great if cumulative values could be calculated in Civil 3D tables..
Particularly for stage storage analysis using Volume Surfaces…
Other maths functions or row to row maths would also be useful…
Ability to Export Civil 3D tables to CSV/EXCEL
Any table created in Civil 3d should be able to be easily exported to EXCEL or CSV or maybe even converted into a regular Autocad Table…
There are a few alternatives for now. The best one I have found is the “Table Exporter” App. Available for free from the Autodesk App EXchange.
Download “Table Exporter” here
Once installed it provides a tool in the ribbon the dumps your table straight into excel! Great App!
Another alternative is you can use the COT.lsp, link below.
Basically explode the table twice, use the COT.lsp to convert it to an Autocad Table, then right click-> export…
Download COT.lsp (convert to table)
Civil 3D table row spacing cant be changed
An extremely annoying feature of Civil 3D tables is that row spacing or horizontal/vertical margin spacing can’t be controlled. I consider this a bug…
Editable Surface/Civil 3D object dependency diagram
This would be awesome… the ability to generate a dynamic object dependency graph in Civil 3D. Not only that but an editable object dependency graph!!
- You could change the dependent surfaces of a volume surface by deleting/drawing arrows..
- You could change the build definition of objects with a properties box on the side
- Link objects to quantity takeoff reports etc
Really a lot of things you could do here if you put enough of thought into it..
Material Take off – Material in Shape Above/Below a Surface
Be awesome if you could calculate material in a shape code above/below a surface
Batch Edit Surface Build Definitions
If the build definitions for surfaces where in the properties dialog box and they could be batch edited by selecting multiple surfaces.. that would save so much time!
Instead I have to right click properties on every single surface to do this!!
