Correct grading, yet wrong triangulation

HELLO EVERYONE 🙂 I am having a very difficult time solving this one. As you can see the grade looks fine(see photo1), like the way it should be. But the time I triangulate it (see photo2) it is completely different. To give you a clear understanding of what it should look like, i have provided it below (see photo3). I hope i explained it well, and provided the necessary detail for my problem... looking forward to everyone's replies~.. have a great day ahead!!

Hello, you have to grade objects properly one surface is over the other you can change Feature Line style order to grade, it seems that your feature lines are on the same site and one feature line takes elevation from the second one, you have an options either to change feature line order to intersect in Z or try to solve it with paste surface last pasted surface wins.

You can also change site for you feature lines to force not to intersect with Z value.

Following on from the great advice given by @Beka_Tchigladze, I would be very wary of gradings intersecting in the same site as, based on my experience, they can be very flaky and crash or totally corrupt your drawing. 

 

That said when gradings work they are great but more often than not they cause more problems than they solve and  it doesn't look like Autodesk are looking to fix them any time soon.
