Introduction - Feature Lines

00:00

NARRATOR: Hello and welcome to Feature Lines

00:02

in Project Explorer.

00:03

My name is Russ Nicloy, Civil Solutions Specialist

00:06

at MACER Technologies.

00:08

Project Explorer for Civil 3D is an environment

00:10

that allows you to work with and analyze Civil 3D

00:13

objects in your design file.

00:15

In this course, we will focus on the ability

00:17

to create and edit feature lines and grading

00:20

surfaces through the Project Explorer interface.

00:23

Feature lines can be created in Project Explorer

00:26

and are the same as feature lines created

00:28

in the traditional methods.

00:30

You can also create feature lines from objects, alignments,

00:33

or by step to offset, making the result directly

00:35

available for grading projects.

00:39

Project Explorer allows you to easily identify

00:42

which feature lines you're working with.

00:44

You can filter the files feature lines by sight

00:47

or highlight each feature line or even

00:49

which vertex points you're about to edit.

00:51

It also shows the elevation information

00:53

and can compare nearby alignments, profiles,

00:56

or surfaces, giving context to your feature line designs.

01:01

As we go through this course, we will

01:02

be looking at how to create future lines through Project

01:05

Explorer.

01:06

Then how to edit those feature lines through the Project

01:09

Explorer.

01:10

Finally, we will create a grading surface design

01:12

completely through Project Explorer.
