Grading Techniques in Civil 3D

[@MrAbrman]

7:00 I came to Civil 3D from software engineering background, and I hate how the industry is willing to accept crashing software. 1. Crashes shouldn't happen 2. If there is a problem, it should catch the exception and handle it ideally without alerting the user that there was a problem. 3. If there is a real problem let the user know and undo to a place where there was no known issues in the document instead of crashing.

Exactly! It seriously kills my budget on my projects! Some projects that have been around for a while and were created on older versions crash multiple times an hour! Almost spend more time clicking save / restarting C3D than I do actually working!

So funny, same base drawing as the other grading tutorial I was looking at, must be affiliated

yeah I think Bartles used that sitebase for feature lines, must be an out of the box tutorial.

Hi there. Usually I create my feature lines first and each one in different site and when I tried to do grading, an alert said: this feat line is not belong to this group. So how I can move them to the new group? Thanks

[@justindevore82]

yeah feature lines need to be in the same site (or container) in order to interact with other object in that site (or container)....you can right-click on your feature line and select Move to Site...
