I'll select this feature line in the drawing, and I want to point out that there's an elevation point here in the middle that shows a pretty prominent high point. And let's just say I want to raise or lower this feature line and preserve that relationship. I want to keep this high point where it is, I want to hold this slope and this slope, but I want to raise everything up. So, all of the elevations are going to change relative to one another. Not a problem, all I have to do is launch the Raise/Lower command. And if I want to raise the feature line up 10 feet or whatever value, I simply enter a positive value, so I'll type in 10 and press Enter. If I want to lower the feature line, I simply type in a negative value, -10, and it's raising and lowering that feature line while preserving the…
