2D Mass Type¶
Use this dialog to display cross section and longitudinal profile mass types in SFI model in 2D.
Where do I find the dialog?¶
On the Planning, design and execution toolbar in terrain model drawing, select the 2D Mass Type... icon.
Note
The option for 2D mass type is grayed out in 3D.
You can insert the function multiple times in the same drawing. Each insertion creates an entry for 2DMassetype(,) in the command file.
Cross Section Mass Type¶
In SFI model, the program calculates the mass types using the cross section method. In the cross section editing window, you can get the raw masses hatched.

The raw mass multiplied by 1/2 profile distance forward and 1/2 profile distance backward gives the calculated quantity.
Mass type in plan view
In plan view, you can get the area for calculated quantity hatched.
Longitudinal Profile Mass Type¶
Longitudinal profile mass types are drawn as lines in plan and profile.
Longitudinal Profile¶

Plan View¶

The alternatives are either mass type ID or contract post code when you select mass type for display. The advantage of contract post code is that you don't need to create multiple 2D mass types for masses with the same code.
Grouping¶
The program can group the quantities according to given criteria.
Standard options are that grouping is on with Max. profile interval in group 10 m and Max. result sum in group 100,000.
For cross section mass types without grouping, mass polygons that belong together will be merged into one polygon with an annotation if this is selected. For large roads, this can be a time-consuming operation which in turn will cause slow drawing on the screen.
Annotation¶
With this option, you can get calculated quantity as annotation to the polygon. Note that you cannot edit the placement of this annotation, but you can choose between normal on or rotated along the center line.
Examples¶
The example below shows annotation of mass types for excavation soil and fill without grouping.

In the example below, grouping is active with requirements for max. profile interval and result sum.

How to control text size?¶
You can change text size for the annotation under Options for planning, design and execution. You find the dialog on the Format menu.
