Tutorial: Editing Gradings; Exercise 1: Editing The Grading Elevation - Autodesk CIVIL3D - CIVILDESIGNCOMP 2007 SLM CD Tutorials Manual

NOTE The Event Viewer might notify you that duplicate points have been
ignored. A surface was created from the two gradings, which share a common
feature, and therefore share point data. The daylight line of the first grading
is the baseline of the second grading. When the surface is created, the data
from the points was extracted for each grading. Because the point data is
duplicate, the data of one of the two instances of each point is ignored.

Tutorial: Editing Gradings

This tutorial demonstrates common grading editing tasks, including elevation
adjustment and grading criteria editing.
You use the Grading Elevation Editor to edit elevations along a baseline. A
baseline is a feature line or lot line that has had a grading applied to it. You
can modify the elevations of a lot line unless it is being used as a target for a
grading.
You can also insert a PVI (Point of Vertical Intersection) between the start and
end stations of the baseline, creating an intermediate elevation point.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Editing Grading.

Exercise 1: Editing the Grading Elevation

In this exercise, you will edit the elevation of a grading baseline. The grading
adjusts to reflect the elevation change.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Editing Grading
Criteria.

This drawing contains a rectangular building pad graded to the
surrounding surface at a 3:1 slope. Where the slope pattern is green, it is
a fill slope in which the grading slopes down from the pad to the surface.
Where the slope pattern is red, it is a cut slope in which the grading slopes
up from the pad.
