  Would have been nice if I had a course in site grading in college as a civil engineering major. I had a hard time understanding it when learning from coworkers and supervisors early in my career. It’s more of an art form and using the min and max allowed slopes to drain water away from the building and towards drainage inlets. I understood doing spot elevations because that is just y=mx+b but I had a harder time drawing proposed contours knowing that it’s one elevation. Making sure you meet your min and max slopes in all directions based on surface type, parking lot, lawn, driveway, and knowing where to tie them into existing is the hardest part. To get the distance between 1 foot contours, take 1 foot and divide by the slope. 2% will have 1 foot contours 50 feet apart and 3 to 1 horizontal to vertical (33.3%) will be 3 feet apart. It’s important to be able to read a grading plan and being able to point out features like a swale, a berm, and a detention basin

  does this design apply to a suction pump station too? I have a job is requiring me to design a suction pump station and I have never done one before.

• 
  @griffinfurlong3 күн бұрын

  Yes, this design is based off of a submerged pump with a suction head. The impellor of the pump produces a force that creates suction and “lifts” the sewage

I’m familiar with the latter but don’t understand feature lines. Do you have any civil 3D learning resources you recommend outside of your channel?
