Calculating GradeCalculating GradeThe Grade tool annotates terrain slopes on site plan documents.
Networks of grade objects can be created to show slope characteristics across a surface. Grade objects can be used in conjunction with a site model, and can modify the site model. In addition, 3D loci can be generated from grade object elevations, and used as the basis of creating a site model.
The Grade tool has three modes:
