Grading

I'm trying to create a proposed grade surface using the grading tools. I drew the outline boundaryof the proposed surface as a closed polyline then created a feature line from it and assigned different elevations to it. When I try to select the feature line in order to create the grading, I get "THIS FEATURE OVERLAPS ITSELF AND CANNOT BE GRADED". What could be a possible reason for this?

 

Thanks in advance

Can you post a drawing with the offending featureline?

Sounds like the polyline is not actually closed, that it is actually overlapping itself.

Pseudo nodes is my guess. Do a map clean to get rid of them, better yet save a step and draw the FL directly

Thank you
