Civil 3D 2013, trying to edit a FG profile through the Profile Entities vista and Profile Layout Parameters dialog box. All entities in the vista are shaded (locked) and will not allow me to edit. Is there something that I am missing here? I should be able to edit the PVIs (or entities) correct? I couldn't find anything in the help documentation as to why these are shaded and not allowing me to edit them. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Nope. I generated the surface with proposed contours and then generated the profile with the proposed surface. Of course this caused the profile to have many PVIs at odd grades (-5.08% slope) and I want to change that to even slopes ( -5.00%). So, I open the vista to edit these and all PVIs are shaded and the Profile Layout Tools Toolbar is all locked as well.
OK, now it's making sense. I thought when you said FG that it was created by layout. When you create a profile from a surface that's different. It's locked to the surface dynamically, so of course you can't edit it.
You can break the lock though. Go into your Profile Properties > Profile Data and switch the Update Mode to Static. Then it will ignore the surface, and you should be able to edit.

That did it! Thank you guys so much. I should have thought about that, but there are just so many parameters to look through on these that I totally overlooked that. Thanks again!
