Not sure of your knowledge at this point.

1. Do you know how a surface is made?

2. Do you know what tin lines represent?

Feature Lines have nodes (elev. points) along its length only.

If you use the FL editor, you can see what direction the nodes are "moving" along the feature line, Up is up and down is down.

yes i know about the surfaces.

 feature line govern the grades along the line, but  can it also has impact in the transverse direction?

for example if we have a square site and draw a feature line around it and by raising one leg of square,  rise the elevations along the line or has impact upto the opposite end(leg).

Both.

Grab a feature line and explore the contextual ribbon for the elevation editing tools; longitudinal and transversely (projecting). Also look into the grading object tools

Subsequent feature lines also interact with previous ones when in the same site.

In your example, raising one side will raise the entire fl if one isn't paying attention. One can go back in the elevation editor and correct the situation afterwards though and ensure only the one side is elevated.
