What are Feature Lines?
Feature lines are 3D lines that represent linear features, such as:
1. Roads
2. Pavements
3. Channels
4. Ditches
Creating Feature Lines
1. Create Feature Line Tool: Access the "Create Feature Line" tool.
2. Draw Feature Line: Draw the feature line in the drawing area.
3. Define Elevation: Define the elevation of the feature line.
Editing Feature Lines
1. Edit Feature Line Tool: Access the "Edit Feature Line" tool.
2. Modify Geometry: Modify the geometry of the feature line.
3. Adjust Elevation: Adjust the elevation of the feature line.
Feature Line Applications
1. Road Design: Design roads, highways, and other infrastructure.
2. Site Design: Design site features, such as pavements and channels.
3. Stormwater Management: Design stormwater management systems.
Benefits
1. Accurate Design: Create accurate 3D designs.
2. Improved Visualization: Visualize designs in 3D.
3. Enhanced Analysis: Analyze designs for performance and compliance.
Tips and Variations
1. Use feature line styles: Apply consistent formatting and appearance.
2. Use feature line labels: Label feature lines with relevant information.
3. Integrate with other Civil 3D tools: Use feature lines with other Civil 3D tools, such as surfaces and corridors.
