WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:07.000 Welcome back. So now that we've created our grading criteria set, we're ready to start working in our grading creation toolbar. 00:07.000 --> 00:11.000 In order to do that, we're going to go ahead and navigate to the home tab of the ribbon bar. 00:11.000 --> 00:16.000 We're going to drop down on our grading options. We're going to go to grading creation tools. 00:16.000 --> 00:23.000 Now that we've opened our grading creation toolbar, we're going to go ahead and set up all of our grading criteria before we set up our grading object. 00:23.000 --> 00:29.000 We're going to go ahead and select the first button here to make sure that we have our grading groups set correctly. 00:29.000 --> 00:34.000 We want to make sure we're in the dev main site and on the dev main grad grading group. 00:34.000 --> 00:42.000 We're going to go ahead and click OK. We're going to select the surface. We're going to go ahead and make sure that we are on Civ 203 for a selected surface. 00:42.000 --> 00:50.000 We're going to go ahead and click OK. We'll check our layer. We have our C Topo grad layer setup correctly. So I'm going to go ahead and click OK. 00:50.000 --> 00:58.000 And then we're going to go to our grading criteria sets. We're going to make sure we drop down, change off a basic set to dev grad and select OK as well. 00:58.000 --> 01:08.000 So once we've set up our parameters for our grading objects inside Civil 3D, we do have the option of dropping down and selecting our different grading criteria. 01:08.000 --> 01:12.000 We're going to end up working with our surface grading criteria. So I'm going to go ahead and select surface. 01:12.000 --> 01:18.000 And then from here, we could start just creating our grading objects inside Civil 3D. 01:18.000 --> 01:29.000 But before we do that, if you don't remember what your grading criteria set was or what these set parameters were for that grading criteria, you can click on these double down areas to expand the toolbar. 01:29.000 --> 01:38.000 So when we do that, what we're going to see here is that we're going to see the criteria for the grading set that is currently selected. 01:38.000 --> 01:51.000 So the grading criteria for surface, we have it set as target surface, cut and fill slopes, slope of one and a half to one, fill slope of two to one, and then our average slope for our interior corner overlap. 01:51.000 --> 01:59.000 So moving on from here, the one thing that we want to make sure we set up though is that we are displaying our cut and fill slopes properly. 01:59.000 --> 02:07.000 We set up our cut and fill slope styles when we set up the drawing template file. So I'm going to go ahead and drop down my cut slope style. 02:07.000 --> 02:13.000 I'm going to make sure I select cut and then I'm going to drop down my fill slope style. I'm going to make sure I select fill. 02:13.000 --> 02:25.000 So from here, now we can go ahead and drop down and select our create grading. Now if for some reason, you saw what you had here in the parameters and it didn't look correct. 02:25.000 --> 02:35.000 You'll notice that if you click into these boxes, you cannot change any of them. The way that you would go ahead and edit these is you would drop down and select edit current selection. 02:35.000 --> 02:40.000 Or if you wanted to create a new criteria, you could go ahead and select create new. 02:40.000 --> 02:46.000 So we don't need to do that. So I'm going to go ahead and go with create grading. We've dropped down select create grading. 02:46.000 --> 02:52.000 Civil 3D is going to prompt us to select a feature. I'm going to go ahead and navigate so that my feature lines are over here. 02:52.000 --> 02:58.000 We remember from selecting our grading group that we are working with our dev main group here. 02:58.000 --> 03:04.000 So we can start working with any of these feature lines. I'm going to start here at lot 11. I'm going to pick the feature line. 03:04.000 --> 03:12.000 Civil 3D is going to prompt me to select a grading side. I'm going to pick to the outside because on the inside of the feature line, we already have our fill object. 03:12.000 --> 03:23.000 So I'm picking the outside. Civil 3D is going to prompt me to apply it to the entire length. Yes or no. If we select no, we get to pick how much of the grading object we want to create around that feature line. 03:23.000 --> 03:28.000 I want it to do the entire feature line. So I'm going to go ahead and enter for yes. 03:28.000 --> 03:35.000 From here, we select our cut slope. We already set our slope up correctly at one and a half to one as our maximum cut slope. 03:35.000 --> 03:43.000 If you wanted to soften it, you could soften it by typing in a different ratio. I'm going to leave it at one and a half to one and hit enter. 03:43.000 --> 03:51.000 Then same thing with the fill slope. My maximum fill slope ratio is two to one. I could soften it by changing it to something like three or four to one. 03:51.000 --> 03:57.000 But for my purposes now, I want to leave it as two to one. So I'm going to go ahead and hit enter. 03:57.000 --> 04:07.000 So when I do that, Civil 3D automatically creates a grading object outside of my feature line and targets the surface below, which we set to sit 203. 04:07.000 --> 04:14.000 So from here, now I can march around and do that for every pad inside of my dev main grading group. 04:14.000 --> 04:24.000 So I'm going to go ahead and select the feature line, select the outside, hit enter to select, yes, it enter select to accept one and a half to one and enter to select two to one. 04:24.000 --> 04:30.000 So then from there, I'm going to go ahead and select feature line, click outside, enter, enter, enter, 04:30.000 --> 04:34.000 feature line outside, enter, enter, enter. 04:34.000 --> 04:41.000 And I'm going to do that as I march around all of these feature lines that we have created for our grading pads. 04:42.000 --> 04:55.000 Now, this is the benefit of setting up a grading criteria that has all of the information that you need and want in your drawing is that you don't have to go through and modify any of the numbers as you go. 04:56.000 --> 05:14.000 So that's why I tend to edit these numbers on the fly before I go into my creating creation button or my grading creation maneuver is that it allows me to select my feature lines and then not walk through any of the prompts. 05:15.000 --> 05:30.000 I'm going to go ahead and just click along and creating my grading objects with no thought for how I'm going to fill in my cut or fill slope ratios and then I'm going to go ahead and now that I've created all my grading objects. 05:30.000 --> 05:32.000 I'm going to hit escape to get out of the command. 05:32.000 --> 05:36.000 I'm going to close my grading creation tools and then I'm going to zoom out. 05:36.000 --> 05:40.000 Two of my diamonds, my infill and my slope diamonds. 05:40.000 --> 05:43.000 I'm going to go ahead and right click. I'm going to select similar. 05:43.000 --> 05:45.000 So I'm selecting all of these objects. 05:45.000 --> 05:50.000 I'm going to go to object viewer so that we can see what these individual creating objects look like. 05:50.000 --> 06:01.000 I'm going to expand this out and as I rotate this, what you're going to notice is that each of these pads now has a slope associated with it that is targeting the existing surface below. 06:01.000 --> 06:03.000 So I'm going to go ahead and close this window. 06:03.000 --> 06:07.000 I'm going to hit escape to unselect all of these grading groups. 06:07.000 --> 06:11.000 I'm going to go ahead and save my drawing and then I'll meet you in the next video.
