    Create Grading Not Working

    I have an Existing Surface i created from survey data. I have a Proposed Surface i created with feature lines. Now i want to create grading around the outside portions of my Proposed Surface. I create the Grading Group and specified a projection surface and selected a Criteria Set for a 3:1 slope to match back to Existing Surface. I select the Feature Line i wish to create the grading from and progress through the cut and fill prompts and nothing happens. Nothing gets created. I have tried an audit on the drawing to see if errors are causing the problem and there are no errors.

     

    What am I doing wrong here. I use this tool all the time and this problem comes up frequently. Especially if i have made any surface adjustments. Please help.

    Nope. The feature line is part of the proposed site.

    Is your featureline in the same Civil 3D Site as the Grading Group?

    It happens to any feature line affected by a redesign.

    I hate asking the obvious:

     

    1.  Restart Civil 3D?

    2. Re-boot the computer?
