NARRATOR: Hello and welcome to Feature Lines
00:02
in Project Explorer.
00:03
My name is Russ Nicloy, Civil Solutions Specialist

00:08
Project Explorer for Civil 3D is an environment
00:10
that allows you to work with and analyze Civil 3D
00:13
objects in your design file.
00:15
In this course, we will focus on the ability
00:17
to create and edit feature lines and grading
00:20
surfaces through the Project Explorer interface.
00:23
Feature lines can be created in Project Explorer
00:26
and are the same as feature lines created
00:28
in the traditional methods.
00:30
You can also create feature lines from objects, alignments,
00:33
or by step to offset, making the result directly
00:35
available for grading projects.
00:39
Project Explorer allows you to easily identify
00:42
which feature lines you're working with.
00:44
You can filter the files feature lines by sight
00:47
or highlight each feature line or even
00:49
which vertex points you're about to edit.
00:51
It also shows the elevation information
00:53
and can compare nearby alignments, profiles,
00:56
or surfaces, giving context to your feature line designs.
01:01
As we go through this course, we will
01:02
be looking at how to create future lines through Project
01:05
Explorer.
01:06
Then how to edit those feature lines through the Project
01:09
Explorer.
01:10
Finally, we will create a grading surface design
01:12
completely through Project Explorer.
