Civil 3D: Site Grading & Feature Lines | Shape Your Terrain with Precision

Описание: 🏞️ Design accurate, smooth, and constructible terrain surfaces using powerful grading tools and feature lines in Autodesk Civil 3D.
Whether you’re designing parking lots, building pads, road tie-ins, or complex site grading plans, feature lines are essential for defining elevations and controlling slopes. They give you complete control over grading design by creating precise 3D breaklines in your surface models.

This tutorial explains how to leverage feature lines and grading tools in Civil 3D to efficiently shape and manage your sites for professional civil engineering and land development projects.

🔧 What you’ll learn:
• What are feature lines in Civil 3D and why they’re important
• Creating feature lines from:
 – Polylines
 – Survey figures
 – Corridor edges
• Editing feature line elevations:
 – Assigning elevations at specific points
 – Adding grade breaks and slopes
 – Raising or lowering entire feature lines
• How feature lines interact with surfaces as breaklines
• Using the Grading Creation Tools to build grading objects:
 – Grading to a relative elevation
 – Grading to a surface
 – Creating infill areas
• Building complex grading designs like:
 – Ponds and basins
 – Retaining walls and stepped slopes
 – Building pads with precise slopes
• Managing grading groups and sites for organized workflows
• Visualizing slopes and contours for quality checks
• Best practices for achieving clean, constructible grading surfaces

🧠 Why feature lines and grading matter:
✔ Allows for highly detailed and controlled grading designs
✔ Ensures constructible slopes and smooth surfaces
✔ Saves time by reducing trial-and-error in surface editing
✔ Critical for drainage management and erosion control
✔ Supports regulatory compliance and high-quality deliverables
