Personally don't have a lot of experience with machine control but from a survey prespective (old school way) I thin 25' would be more than enough.

Hi @jmartt-
In my experience with pneumatic-powered machine control systems (Trimble), the smoother the surface the better. For your curves, I would recommend no tighter than 5ft frequency. That should keep things nice and efficient in the field.
**Another tip, if you turn on a surface style with contour increments of 0.1ft, you should be able to see where jagged TIN faces are. If you can see them in Civil 3D, then rest assured, a pneuamatic machine control system will pick it up in the field.
I hope this helps.
