A Feature Line Tool for Grading Transitions

Posted by Dana Breig Probert, EIT on March 23rd, 2007

 

A few weeks ago, I was asked about some of the LDT 3D polyline tools and their Civil 3D equivalents.  One question that I didn't have a good answer for was the 3D polyline transition tool.  When you are actively drawing an LDT 3D polyline, you are given the choice to pick a vertex location and either assign an elevation or transition to the next point. LDT would figure out the grade between your two known spots and assign an elevation to the middle point based on constant slope between them.  When you are actively drawing a feature line, you don't get that choice, so for a little while we were stumped on the fastest way to accomplish this task with feature lines.
