WisDOT pay item data

Last updated: 2021-11-05

Overview

The WisDOT Civil 3D standards require custom Civil 3D pay item data. WisDOT custom pay item data resides in *.csv and *.xml files that are included in the WisDOT Civil 3D resource files.

Warning: Altering WisDOT component files and directories may result in lost functionality. Contact CAE Support for more information.

Pay item data files

The WisDOT pay item data files consists of Pay Item files and Pay Item categories files. The files are located in: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 20xx\enu\Data\Pay Item Data\United States\WisDOT

The resource files include pay item data files for each version of Civil 3D WisDOT is currently using.

  • Items_20xx.csv is an ASCII file with a CSV file extension containing category, item, and unit entries for each individual pay item.

  • Categories_20xx.xml is a XML file containing a quantity takeoff pay item categorization list to categorize the pay items into manageable groups.

Additional Special Provisions

Civil 3D assigns pay item values automatically for roadways through the code set styles and the pipe networks' pipe parts lists. Pay items can also be manually assigned to any AutoCAD or Civil 3D individual object or area (closed polygon).

A pay item file and a categorization file can be selected from the Civil 3D QTO Manager: Ribbon > Analyze tab > QTO panel > QTO Manager panorama > Open menu > Open pay item file

Materials from those lists can then be assigned using the QTO Manager panorama.

Info: The WisDOT "begin-dwg" drawing templates already have the WisDOT pay item data files set as default.
