Grading just freezes

I know, another post on grading... I've read about site topology, crossing feature lines, and some of the other issues. I still cant get this one to work. I'm grading from the top of curb to figure out where I have to start a retaining wall on a commercial site. The grading worked initially. Fabulous. Then I got greedy and tried to edit the elevations on the featureline and have the grading update automatically. It appeared to freeze so I let it keep running. After lunch, I finally gave the old CTRL-ALT-DEL to kill the program and try it again. Since then I have rebooted twice, erased all featurelines in the drawing, put the new featurelines on new sites, rinsed and repeated, but cannot get the grading to happen. Needless to say... FRUSTRATED.

I know this is 20-20 hindsite but before you edit elevations of featurelines with grading applied, delete the grading. Trust me, this corrupted my drawings many times.

I figured that might have been it. But since I was unable to save after making the edits, I was hoping it wasn't the case.

I've found that just deleting the grading isn't enough to avoid a freeze-up. I believe I have to delete the entire featureline, and recreate it before attempting the grading again. Even then I still get occasional freezes. Grading is a cool tool, unless you want it to be functional.

Try recovering the drawing. This sometimes fixes these issues after the
fact.
