Guide to start exploring the key features of the plugin for Autodesk.
Steps
1
Main Functionalities of ORIS Plugin for Autodesk
2
You can access ORIS plugin from the "Add-ins" tab.
3
The interface of the plugin is the same for both Civil 3D and AutoCAD.
4
The first calculation method is based on the "ORIS 3D - Solids" module, which relies on the 3D solids identified in the drawing, with the option of working directly with those extracted from a corridor (available only in Civil 3D).
5
The second calculation method is based on the "ORIS 2D - Hatching" module, which relies on the hatching areas identified on each layer.
6
In the "Material Library" you can create your own customised libraries of materials, to help you automate your carbon assessments in both the 2D and 3D modules.
7

8
Here you can find all the material libraries that you have created.

10
You can edit the materials inside each library, changing their name and density, or by selecting a new material type, subtype and usage.

13
In the "Pavement Design Library", you can create your own customised pavement designs, to help you automate your carbon assessments when evaluating 2D hatching areas.
14
Video step
15
The "Pavement Design Library" has the same structure as the "Materials Library".
16
Video step
17
Let's access ORIS 2D module.
18
Video step
19
The left menu provides a summary of all the layers in which hatching areas were identified, including the total area and the selected pavement design option.
20
And each project needs to be connected to ORIS platform to perform a carbon assessment and then import back the data in Civil 3D or AutoCAD.
21
Video step
22
In this case, as the selected pavement design has been modified, the project status is no longer "Up-to-date" and needs to be exported back to ORIS platform again.
23
Lastly, you can access and edit all your projects from this menu.
24
Video step
25
You will find the same functionalities as in ORIS 2D module to edit and update any of the existing projects.
26
Let's access now ORIS 3D module for corridor extracts.
27
Video step
28
From the top menu, you can select one or several baselines and regions within a specific corridor to extract the solids.
29
The project needs to be connected to ORIS platform to perform a carbon assessment and them import back the data in Civil 3D.
30
3D solids that were not generated from a corridor can be evaluated as well.
31
Video step
32
Video step
33
The left menu provides a summary of all the layers in which 3D solids were identified, including the number of solids and total volume.
34
An unique project will be created encompassing all the solids.
35
Lastly, you can access and edit all your projects from this menu.
36
Video step
37
You will find the same functionalities as in ORIS 3D module to edit and update any of the existing projects.
