The top of curb does not influence intersection drainage, so adjust the corridors to achieve good intersection drainage,add the top of curb when finished. 2. When you connect the corridor to the building pads, can you connect the two front corners? If so, the front edge of the pads would automatically conform with the street slope. The balance of the pad grading would generally be fairly consistent so you could set the relative slopes for one pad and copy to each lot. Two thoughts on the webcast discussion.

I had misunderstood that command, and I sincerely apologize for the mistake. It would be very quick to go back and reapply that command when the intersection changed. Or better yet- try a grading object. Maybe next week's EECast workflow will be better for you if this is a deal breaker. Basically, this command is a way to reapply a stepped offset without having to reoffset. That way, your surface can keep the same breaklines. DANG.

I have a question about 'Adjacent Elevations by Reference' You said this is dynamic, but it doesn't seem to be for me. I've tried editing the FL with quick edit and Elevation Editor, but the second line does not change. I'm assuming this command is a general one in terms of FL and not corridor specific? Any thoughts? Thanks. Paul Dana – Great webcast yesterday! I have a question about ‘Adjacent Elevations by Reference’ You said this is dynamic, but it doesn’t seem to be for me.
