Grading to Surface Option Not Available in Pulldown

[Anonymous]

I am trying to create some cut and fill volumes between a proposed pad and and existing site.  I am following training and it reccomends setting the grading criteria to "Grade to Site" style.  in my pulldown options all I see is "Standard".  Is there a way to download and import this style?

If you have access to the download link, then yes.

However, if you know the settings of this Grading Criteria, you could recreate it fairly quickly. It is not that time intensive.

Is this a tutorial that came with Civil 3D? If so, you need to open the drawing that goes with the exercise in the Tutorials Folder. If not, did the training come with drawings to use?

The training was outside of Autodesk and no files were provided.  I watched a couple different videos and each one had that style as an option, so I assumed it was something that should have come standard.  I've looked through the installation folders and don't see a template folder to attempt to import the .dwt file.  I see where I can create my own, but I don't know the setting particulars

Just to confirm. You looked for the templates in C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Autodesk\C3D [ver]\enu\Template ?

You're very welcome. Come back any time to get or give help. I've learned from the best here.

Oh. One more thing. I suppose you're realizing now that you should never start working in a blank drawing. Always create a new drawing from a template (DWT). Even if it's the most basic OOTB template. You'll have access to a lot of background pieces that you wouldn't otherwise.
