Has anyone found a solution. It has been a few years since this was posted but I am having the same issue in Civil 2014. I have an alignment that i turned into a feature line to hold my ditch profile. I graded to distance at 2 ft on each side creating a 4ft ditch bottom. I then grade to surface using a 4:1 on one side and eveything looks great. then i go to the otherside and it all disappears.... I got it to work by creating two sites one for left side grading and one for right. it works and i get my surface but if it keep it in one side and grading tool i get the same issue this user had. In the past i have used cooridors and it worked ok but this would be much easier for many of my applications if it worked correctly. I've spent a while trying to figure it out and I think I'm going to leave it since i got it and move on for now. THOUGHTS??
Thanks in advance!

I am also having this issue with grading objects and their associated feature lines disappearing in C3d 2013. It seems to happen more with grading objects than just using features lines without the tools of a grading object. It feels like working in circles having to recreating the grading for complicated site with tight deadlines is a significant issue.
Anyone have any real solutions?

Well guys, I am using Civil 3D 2018 and still see the same behavior as @lohrmach described almost 8 years ago.
You all might want to review my post on the Civil 3D Ideas page. If you concur, please vote it up:
Fix "Grading Objects" or admit defeat and identify the replacement workflow
I recently when to my VAR with a support request on this. The initial response was that my original drawing was probably corrupt, but they did agree to a skype session where we started from the stock OOTB Imperial template and created some grading objects. The process quickly broke down. They suggested some work-arounds, but were of the opinion that linking gradings and using transitions was beyond the stability limits of grading objects, even though that is how they are supposed to work. This has been escalated to Autodesk; I will post an update if I hear from Autodesk.
