To Insert a High or Low Elevation Point on a Feature Line

You can insert a high or low elevation point onto a feature line, survey figure, parcel line, or 3D polyline.

This command inserts the break point where two grades intersect. Specify the grade or slope ahead from the start point and back from the end point.

  1. Click Modify tabEdit Elevations panelInsert High/Low Elevation Point Find.
  2. Select the feature line or other object.
  3. Select the start point and the end point of the span that you want to add the point to. These points can span multiple feature line segments.

    After you select the start and end points, an arrow is displayed at the start of the span. The command line displays the start and end elevations and the distance between the start and end points.

  4. Enter the grade (or enter Slope and specify a slope) from the start point.

    Enter a positive value to grade up or a negative value to grade down.

  5. Enter the grade back from the end point.
    Note: If an intersection cannot be found with the entered values a “No solution found” message is displayed.
