Tutorial: Creating Gradings

This tutorial demonstrates how to create a feature line and how to grade from the feature line.

You can create gradings from parcel lot lines or feature lines. A feature line is a linear object that the grading commands can recognize and use as a baseline. When designing a grading, you must often adjust the elevations along a feature line. You create a feature line by converting existing objects, such as lines or polylines.

In the next two exercises, you will perform the following tasks:

• Create three feature lines.
• Assign elevation values along the feature lines using several methods.
• Create a set of gradings from one of the feature lines.
