The Ins and Outs of Grading with Civil 3D Webinar

Have you been confused about how to grade in Civil 3D?
Join us for another session with our Civil 3D Technical Specialist Seth Cohen to learn the ins and outs of grading.
Whether it’s grading for building pads, parking lots or off-site design, this session will examine the fundamentals of grading using the tools provided in Civil 3D.
This presentation will explore:
grading tools including grading criteria
grading groups and feature lines
how to create various grading design types
how to automate the creation of design surfaces and volume calculations
You will leave this presentation with a complete knowledge of the different workflows for completing a grading design in Civil 3D.

Thank you so much.
Been looking for a way on how to put a bit of a river stream on my EG surface. This is the only vid by far that demonstrates it. The rest are about grading a site plan.

It´s very interesting to improve our knowledge in CIVIL 3D, thank you

I use CPS Civil Tools which has an awesome grading function better than the C3D grading tools.

Great video! The feature line editing tricks are crucial. I definitely want to look into multi-view blocks in greater detail too. They might be helpful for some odd utility detailing that I'm running into.
9:25 - Understatement of the year... gradings are---as of this writing---still 90% unusable IMO. I do use them in some specific, isolated, and very simple cases, like for a closed pond, or for an auxiliary target surface, but that's about it.

The problems encountered from 19:28 to 22:00 while creating a Grading Group are still an issue in C3D 2024. It arises when a Grading Group is deleted. Somehow the name is not released and cannot be used again.
