Grade Extension by Reference
It’s the little things. You’re grading at an intersection, you need to carry a grade across the intersection, but there really isn’t a tool designed specifically for that purpose. You could draw a feature line, establish an elevation, set a point, erase the feature and move on. And of course there are several other ways in which to establish elevations. But wouldn’t it be interesting if we had a tool specifically designed for this situation?
Join me in welcoming the Grade Extension by Reference tool in Civil 3D 2010.
From Help:
Specifies the elevations of a feature line, survey figure, parcel line, or 3D polyline by extending the grade of a segment on another feature.
