Thank you.. so much, uploading this video. its helpful

Hi, thank you for your video. I was wondering how could I change the elevation of pound crest maintaining constant elevation of pounds bottom. I'll be very thankful for your responce

Hi Thanks for the video. I've watched a few videos of pond creation in civil 3d and one thing I find odd which is common among all the videos is that the pond is created randomly and then the volume is calculated afterwards. This is not how it's done in reality. As designers we first determine the attenuation volume required and then we set off to design the required pond. So the question that the videos are not answering is, how do you design a pond of a desired volume in civil 3d?

I get that. There is no option in Civil 3D, maybe grading optimization? Point of the video, done 6 years ago, was simple show grading and analyze volumes using the given tools. I've done hundreds of ponds in reality, many times starting with an approximate area, grade a pond, check volume and adjust accordingly.
