I have just found a similar solution to a problem involving grading objects. I was trying to model a quarry design. I had to design a series of flat benches starting at the bottom of the slope, then stepping up the hillside. I started with a horizontal grading object, then attached a nearly vertical grading object to step up to the next level, then repeated the process. By the time I reached the third bench the program crashed (insert curses here). After several hours of messing about I finally realized that I didn't need the horizontal grading objects. All of the benches are the same width and the steps between them are the same height. I created a feature line and offset it several times then edited the elevations to build the back edges of the benches. I recreated the near vertical grading objects then created a surface from the grading group. Problem solved! Nice trick Dana.

Thanks for the tip. This is a good way to save time without compromising the quality of your finished surface. Thanks for the tip.

I am arranged to estudir it, good I leave my mail you in case you help me: sega2002@hotmail.com that you have good day bye. hello which so my name is Sergio and I am very very interested in being able to utiizar civil 3d, I have civilian version 2007 3d, have using autocad from version 12 and used ADT very little but 3d interests muchisimo to me to learn civilian, unfortunately I am studying it by my account compiling information, segun I understand civilian 3d is based on points but I do not even include/understand or the tematica or the job stream, not if your you can help me, wanted to learn it from zero, I enter civilian 3d but not that to do, or I could put points, I obtained them from a project, it places block with atrubutos, I extracted data XYZ and passes to a file txt, despues concerns civilian and if, if they left but when comparing the coordinates with the project of where I obtained the points did not give me in the coordinates not that debi to do? algun system in special? parametros… it is a land of Mexico which I want is to put the points immediately despues superficiel the contours despues sections and profiles but I have not even been able to happen to enter points… podrias to help me with algun material that takes to me step by step… me ayudarias muchisimo if agradecere can you enough but if you cannot is no problem… I am arranged to estudir it, good I leave my mail you in case you help me: sega2002@hotmail.com that you have good day bye.
