In this tutorial, you will learn how to create and manage pay item data, associate pay item codes with several types of drawing objects, and generate pay item quantity reports.
A pay item is a specific unit of work for which a price is provided and paid to a contractor while a site is under construction. It consists of a pay item ID number, description, and unit of measure.
Pay items can be associated with any AutoCAD entity, such as lines, closed polygons, and blocks, after they have been created. When pay items are associated with an AutoCAD Civil 3D pipe network parts list or code set style, then the pipe network or corridor object is automatically tagged with the specified pay items.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Using Pay Items to Analyze Quantities.
In this exercise, you will open a sample file that contains a pay item list and examine the contents.
In this exercise, you will assign pay item codes to a variety of AutoCAD objects, including lines, blocks, and closed polyline areas.
In this exercise, you will modify a parts list to assign pay item codes to pipe network parts as they are created. You will also learn how to assign pay item codes to existing pipe network parts.
In this exercise, you will create a code set style to assign pay item codes to corridor areas and linear features.
In this exercise, you will generate quantity reports, and then examine several ways to use the resulting data.
In this exercise, you will build a mathematical formula that applies a pay item to a corridor at a specified interval.
In this exercise, you will add content to a sample pay item list, update the categorization file, and then examine the results.
