Grading Proposed

The Grading Proposed section of the Site Layout tab is a collection of tools used to create and manage objects that help control proposed grading. The tools control the optimization process. There is also a tool for viewing the grading process in 3D and one that helps find issue with grading. As you finalize your concepts and move on through the actual design process, the Proposed Grading tools will help you quickly understand issues and resolve them.

Setting	Description
Limits of Disturbance	Creates a boundary for the proposed surface grading.
Grading Solver	Launches a process where the conceptual layout is converted into a 3D model and the grading is optimized for cost.
Problem View	Displays a graphical analysis of the optimized site grading.
Constraint Area	Creates a polygon area element with properties that control the slope characteristics within the area.
Constraint Direction	Assigns the Constraint Direction line to a Constraint Area.
Draped Breakline	Creates a linear element that breaks the existing TIN surface and sets interpolated elevations along the line.
Borrow Area	Creates an area that can be used for cut/fill if the site grading optimization needs to cut or fill.
Fill Area	Creates an area that can be used for cut/fill if the site grading optimization needs to cut or fill.
