In-Depth Information
Elevation Editor
Use this command to open the Grading Elevation
Editor tab in Panorama. From here, you can perform a number of edits
while viewing all the feature-line data at once.
insert Elevation Point
Use this command to create one or more
elevation points on a feature line.
Delete Elevation Point
Use this command to simplify a feature line
by removing elevation points from it.
Quick Elevation Edit
Use this command to interactively edit the eleva-
tions and slopes of a feature line. The command uses tooltips to show you
elevations, slopes, and slope directions.
Edit Elevations
Use this command to edit individual points and segments
on the command line.
Set Grade/Slope Between Points
Use this command to set a constant
grade through multiple points. You do this by specifying a start point and an
endpoint, and the command calculates the elevations of any points in between.
insert high/low Elevation Point
Use this command to have Civil 3D
calculate a high or low point on a feature line. You do this by selecting
two points and specifying the slope that should be projected from each point.
Civil 3D then calculates the intersection of the two slopes and creates a point at
the correct location and elevation. This command is especially useful for setting
high and low points along curb lines to control drainage.
Raise/lower By Reference
Use this command to adjust all the elevations of
a feature line simultaneously by specifying a reference point and an elevation
difference.
Set Elevation By Reference
Use this command to calculate the elevations
of individual points on a feature line by specifying a reference point and an
elevation difference for each point.
Adjacent Elevations By Reference
Use this command to project the
elevations from one feature line to another while providing an elevation
difference, if desired. This command is especially useful for parallel feature
lines such as curb lines or wall lines.
Grade Extension By Reference
Use this command to calculate the eleva-
tion of a point on a feature line by extending the grade of another feature line.
Elevations From Surface
Use this command to project a feature line
onto a surface. This command has the option to create elevation points at
locations where the feature line crosses triangle edges in the surface. When this
