The installer that ran when you downloaded this app/plug-in from the Autodesk App Store will start installing the app/plugin.

Remarks:

1. Custom Quantity tables created by this app are static AutoCAD tables. Users need to manually update when making changes to Civil 3D drawings.

2. Do not confuse section view material tables with section view total volume tables. The latter is not supported by this app.

3. Material Lists that contain 2 or more materials are not supported. They will be automatically divided/split into multi-single Material lists, which contain only one Material.

4. Custom subAssemblies also need a valid license to run properly.  License for all custom subAssemblies is checked once during drawing start.

5. Stripping Benching custom subassembly can select: (1) design surface as Target surface, (2) design feature lines as Target width offset objects. These design target objects must be declared in Properties palette (Ctrl+1).  Sometimes, Corridor needs building twice for this subassembly to take effect.  The first build is for creating target objects (daylight, datum, auto corridor feature lines…), the second build is for creating stripping benching subassembly

1. In some cases, the app cannot connect to Excel® in Microsoft® 365 (Office® 365). The NTCL Error message: "Cannot open Microsoft® Excel®" appears right after the app is called.

This error can be fixed by running "Quick Repair" on Microsoft® 365 (Office® 365). For more information, please refer to: https://www.NTCLSoft.com/home/troubleshooting.
