Should I even try and get a PE if reviewers are still going to treat me like a 4 year old? Or do agencies just think civil engineers are liars now? A bit excessive in my opinion.

I haven't actually used it to submit yet - will be soon. My driveways have the percent slope surface label and the review comment was "show me" your calculations. I think 2009 introduces line tag tables - I'll need to check. The feature line to surface is a manual process. I haven’t actually used it to submit yet – will be soon.

In a dynamic table application, then, the label on the drawing would be, say "D-23" for "driveway on Lot-23", and the table would show "D-23" and chart the slope calculations. Good working-drawing for your own review as you design, to archive with the project file and as a submittal to the review agency. Thanks, Matt So, what … you just lay down a feature line, assign the surface’s elevations and label it?
