Lot Grading a Residential Subdivision

Taking our Corridor Design from the previous video and grading out the lots within our subdivision, we try to adhere to a minimum 2% slope while dealing with other lot interference's. We modify our assemblies slightly to allow for easier grading.

This is very helpful! Thanks for this video!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Kyle, I have a question, can’t you omit surface triangles by applying minimum and maximum triangles criteria in the surface properties?

[@KyleEvansCivil]

Yes you can do that as well, although I find that command does not work 90+% of the time. And when it does work, it removes stuff you need!

Hi Kyle, nice video! I have a question when it comes to labeling the lots. I have a project where I need to display an FFE and a wall height. Would really appreciate any help or guidance on how to achieve this! is there a fast way to label/calc?

[@KyleEvansCivil]

Assuming that FFE stands for finished floor elevation, I would probably handle those labels as a m-text field. You can draw polylines for the wall and the finished floor elevation, and use a field to automatically pull the information. However that is a very large manual task, as each polyline will need its own separate elevation applied, and then you will have to go into the m-text editor and manually select every single polyline and derive the elevation in the field.

@@KyleEvansCivil yea that is the issue I am having. Currently, we have someone developing a program in Dynamo to help ease all the manual aspects of this task. Just thought I would ask if you had an easier way that was already supported in 3D

was a polyline created along the outer perimeter of the corridor?

[@KyleEvansCivil]

No it was not

[@blownheadgasket_]

Hello Kyle, Does the order matter when creating the lot grading surface? ei. Adding feature line as breakline first before pasting the completed surface and vice versa? Appreciate it thanks.

[@deanrobbins8102]

Yes, it does. You can re-order objects operations inside of the surface definition tab hierarchy if you did something out of order.

Great Sir

[@benzonjhermogeno]

Very lenghty procedure

[@deanrobbins8102]

You could use polylines are targets as well for the corridor (by layer name and/or selection) along with cleaver use of feature line "gaps" to auto create slopes in certain areas.
