See the following illustrations for "step by step" instructions on how to draw the elements and achieve the above results.

Riprap image
  1. Draw the outside edge symbology at LV=10, CO=10.   Connect to Proposed Undercut (LV=6) & Existing Ground (LV=56).  This is necessary to force the area above existing ground, (A=0.66) to not be backfilled.
    Riprap image
  2. Draw the inside edge of the structural excavation at LV=55, CO=55.   Connect to existing ground (LV=56).  This is necessary to force all excavation for the riprap into an Existing Unsuitable classification, thus . . . not affecting the general mass, and begin building its own accumulative mass for separate pay.
    Riprap image
  3. Draw the top of the riprap and trace the inside edge of structural exc. at LV=11, CO=11.  Connect to proposed finish grade (LV=10) and proposed undercut (LV=6).  This is necessary to force the area between the top of the riprap and below subgrade to be backfilled with the default fill material.   The earthwork input file instructs the software to consider material above LV=11 CO=11 to be "soil type = suitable" . . . the same as the default fill material.

  4. Trace the bottom and inside edge of the Structure Excavation at LV=9, CO=9.  Connect to Proposed Finish Grade, (LV=10) and Proposed Undercut, (LV=11).  This is necessary to prevent the software from thinking that this backfill material is the default "suitable" fill.   This will force the backfill material to be considered as RIPRAP fill and not affect the mass.

  5. The drawing above illustrates the finished drawing and all of the correct connections for the Proposed Finish Grade, Proposed Undercuts, and Existing Unsuitables.

Below is the complete log file containing the earthwork input file and the results.

For this example... I'm ignoring discussing the Proposed Undercuts, on levels 3 through 6.   THEY ARE DRAWN BY CRITERIA AND ARE AUTOMATICALLY CALCULATED BY THE EARTHWORK INPUT FILE.
