Grading Optimization Fundamentals

Grading Optimization Fundamentals Course Introduction

(Course Duration: 55 minutes)

Course Description

In this course, you will learn how to use Civil 3D Grading Optimization to quickly and easily find a grading solution for your Civil 3D projects. Using typical design geometry from land development projects, you can assign grading objects with defined elevation and slope constraints to produce a proposed grade surface, targeting earthwork and smoothing objectives.

To get started with Grading Optimization you’ll need prepare your drawing by creating the design geometry that is needed to define grading objects. From there you will assign grading objects, specify constraints and parameters, then turn it over to Grading Optimization to find the best grading solution. When you are satisfied with the results, you can save them back into Civil 3D.
