Editing individual feature line elevations
- [Instructor] One of the most common editing tasks that you'll do is individually editing elevations and slopes along a feature line. Let's see which commands are best for accomplishing that. The first tool I'll show you is called Quick Elevation Edit, and I'll simply click a feature line, and the Quick Elevation Edit command is here, it's this depiction of a feature line with a lightning bolt next to it. This is definitely my favorite editing command, because it's, like the name implies, it's quick, it's very direct, and it's very graphical, I can see what's going on as I work. So once I launch the command, you can see as I move my cursor around the feature line, it kind of grabs onto either the vertex or the midpoint of a segment. And when I... When I'm locked onto that vertex, I see the elevation, 2160.04, and I see this little triangle, indicating a PVI. When I lock on to the midpoint of a segment, I see the grade along that segment, and the arrow indicates which direction I'm…
