Hi everyone,
I´m having some trouble about edit grading and hope that someone can help me.
I´ve done a grading "applying to entire lenght" but after done that I realized that I needed to do some located contentions. Is it possible to edit the grade for not applying it to entire lenght?
When I go to the modify tab, edit grading, it does not appears the option "apply to entire lenght?"
I don't believe so. From what I remember once you choose to grade from the entire length you are stuck. You will need to delete the grading and use new options.
That´s what I thought so,
unfortunately, my surface is "stitched" on the inside, if I do a new grade, with a new infill I´ll lose all my work
You are by no means stuck. You can definitely make edits to it.

It still amazes me of all the little things I don't know about that can make such a big deal in a workflow. Thanks, Matt!
Hi!!! Thank you so much for that solution!
But I still have a question about the creation of a transition. In autocad C3D 2013, it offers me an option to create transition, after that, if you press enter, it won´t work, because I only have 1 grading, no slope difference. Also, it offers me the option of [Points], so, I press P, and create a transition, is that correct?
I ask that because I thought that the creation of a transition was only used when I had different slopes at the same grade encountering each other.
I cant access Youtube here. What is the solution?
The transition tool can create a slope transition on the fly or expect at least two gradings along the feature line seperated by a gap. grading 1 would have slope 1 , grading 2 slope 2 and the transition flow btween them

Just add a transition, actually a few of them.
I don't know what you mean Mariana. It's working in 2013 the same way as it is in my video. I have no "P" option when adding transitions.
Transitions have nothing to do with 2 grading objects intersecting as in your image. You have the "Points" option only if you have a gap between gradings on the same feature line. The original quesiton was about how to create a transition when te feature line has a single continuous grading on its entire length. Two diferent techniques.
Your image shows what appears to be a corridor and a grading. The grading overlaps the corridor. So I gather you want to transition the grading to the corridor or vice versa. That will require a bit more convoluted workflow.
No, I wanted to show you that the option [Points] appears. It is really only one feature line, the one that is selected. It is targeting the natural ground, the corridor is independent and has nothing to do with my problem.
Hi Matt
Any chance this video can be summed up in a few words for those that do not have access to youtube at work?

Let's say you have a building pad that dayllights at 2:1 all the way around. Click the add transition button and specify a point, accept the default or set different slopes. Add additional transition points and set their slopes accordingly.
Mariana,
The image helps but the description is fuzzy. If I had to guess you invoked the transition option after the grade to surface was completed and c3d thinks you have two gradings to go between.
Might I suggest starting over and put the transitions where you want. from what I can see the grading doesnot look too complex to redo

It is not necessary to start over. You can insert a transition into a grading even if it is closed. Using the grading layout tools, select the transition tool and when it prompts for a location, pick any location in the grading and it will insert a transition. You can then delete it which will leave a gap in the grading. From there you can edit the gradings on either side of the gap and then fill it in with a new transition.
Thanks for the motivation
