What is grading infill in Civil 3D?

“An infill grading has no criteria applied to it. Any area bounded by feature lines or lot lines that is not already a grading can be converted to an infill grading.” So given an area enclosed by a feature line, an infill grading can be created. Using the same features line, an feature line grading can also be created.

What is grading plan used for?

A grading plan outlines the criteria for land development. Design elevation, surface gradient, lot type, and swale location are the usual components of the plan. The plan also shows the elevations, dimensions, slopes, drainage patterns, etc.

What is daylight line?

Daylight Line A line that intersects the target (a surface, a distance, an elevation, or a relative elevation) of a grading object. It is a line that connects the ends of the projection lines from the grading object’s feature line where they hit the target.

What are the grading techniques?

There are 4 grading methods:

• Learning objects – The number of completed/passed learning objects.
• Highest grade – The highest score obtained in all passed learning objects.
• Average grade – The mean of all the scores.
• Sum grade – The sum of all the scores.

What do grading plans look like?

Grading plans provide a 3-dimensional depiction of a site, indicated by contour lines that follow the site’s elevations, typically set in 2-foot changes in elevation. Therefore, a grading plan with contour lines farther apart will indicate a gentle slope, while more compacted contour lines reveal a steeper slope.

What does daylight mean in grading?

A projected slope/grade from a design to a target surface is said to ‘daylight’ at the point where it meets/intersects the target surface.

What is infill grading?

Fill a hole in the site grading by creating a grading with no criteria applied to it. Any area bounded by feature lines or lot lines that is not already a grading should be converted to an infill grading to ensure correct contour display and volume calculations.
