Exercise 3: Creating A Grading - Autodesk CIVIL3D - CIVILDESIGNCOMP 2007 SLM CD Tutorials Manual

Drape a feature line on a surface
1 If necessary, press Esc once or twice to deselect feature line AB.
2 Click Modify tab
3 In the Set Elevations From Surface dialog box, click OK.
4 Click feature line BC, then right-click and click Enter to end the
command.
5 Click feature line BC again. An elevation point has been added wherever
the line crosses the edge of a triangle in the TIN surface.
6 Right click and click Elevation Editor.
The Elevation Editor displays data for each elevation point along feature
line BC, including its elevation, and the distance and grade to the next
point. A feature line on the surface like this can be a useful starting point
for a grading. You can use controls along the top of the Grading Elevation
Editor to add and delete elevation points, and to adjust their elevations.
You can select multiple points within the table for group operations, such
as raising or lowering them the same amount, or "flattening" their
elevations to the same value.
