I really appreciate your very controlled presentation. Many presenters are going so fast you spend most of your time pausing and rewinding. Great job!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Captured everything about grading in just 6 mins.

Excellent! Simple, concise and easy to follow. Thanks

You make it looks so simple,thanks man

Hi Steven. It's a great tutorial that I've seen more than once because I always forget about something when grading. As a tip, just in case you don't know yet, you could use the command "SELECTIONCYCLING" and set it as "2". This will allow you to choose the element you want to select when some lines overlap ;)

You are welcome. As technology changes and people's needs change there will always be opportunities to learn new things and more opportunities to teach it to others.

Many Thanks

hello Steven, thank you for the tutorial very clear, I have a question for you. I dont have too much experience in civil 3d, I will say I am learning, my question is in the Creation Grading Tool I don't have the Grade to Surface as you have, I got only the Standard option, can you tell me why? sorry am new on that...thanks

Hi Javier, it is likely because of the template you are using when you started up your civil 3D file. Autodesk has an overview about them: knowledge.autodesk.com/support/civil-3d/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2018/ENU/Civil3D-UserGuide/files/GUID-BEECDB8A-96FC-453B-B1F7-D7C9066F10E6-htm.html. I have encountered that same issue before. All the best.

I had a question. This is my first attempt at teaching myself how to Grade. I was already given contours for the project I'm working on in advance, I placed the contours to where they should be on the original coordinates before beginning. As I followed your instructions an issue came up right away as I couldn't see the elevations. Then when I tried to create the grading, it didn't allow me as it said "Target surface needs to be selected." followed by "There are no surfaces available." Please help me to understand why this is occurring, thank you!

I am not quite sure what is going on. I do know to create a grading you need a surface first, it's possible you haven't made a surface yet. If you have it should pop up under the Grading Creation Tools window. I have taken a screenshot and uploaded it to this dropbox folder of what it should look like. I also uploaded a quick example of a finished simple grading. www.dropbox.com/sh/r5wwvlqgc7oj44t/AADF3Muq_bgvrSoSc1bSaf8ma?dl=0

Hello, I have been watching your videos and learning, thanks for the videos. Do you a tutorial on 3D Civil, how to import a 3D Civil DWG Site Plan. Show the Site Plan on the TOPO, show grading cut and fill with drainage?

G Hyde, You are asking for a whole process of solutions. I do not have video for any of these topics, maybe I’ll add some in the future but no plans to make one soon. I have always thought the Lynda . Com tutorials were fairly comprehensive. If you are a student they may still have some discounts for registering.

Is there a way to automatically adjust the elevation to make the cut and fill as close to equal?

@StevenYounkinCivil

There may be, but I'm not aware of a tool provided inside of C3D for that. If you are dealing with some kind of tedious or repetitive workflow involving equalizing cut/fill there is likely at least some kind of script or plugin available for that.

@@ssemakulamusa3125, while I am not familiar with rice levees, you may find it useful to create a surface from breaklines. You create feature lines which represent the appropriate edges of your levee and set the elevation to the desired height along the lines. This is Autodesk's tutorial on that process: knowledge.autodesk.com/support/civil-3d/getting-started/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2019/ENU/Civil3D-Tutorials/files/GUID-9CC1D50D-1542-4CD3-8136-D6E512D5C64E-htm.html best of luck

Very clear to create a closed ground balance, can you send me the E.G. of this webinar.

i never get ghits. isnt the counter lines supposed to go into each other. you cant show this on a plan map : /

Since the design surface has a different interval from the base surface they do not appear to match. If that was important for your plan production you could modify the display settings.
