How can you tell when a grading model is done well in Civil 3D?

How can you tell when a grading model is done well in Civil 3D?

(OP)
Hi all,

I'm new to Civil 3D. When you inherit a Civil 3D grading file, what are the criteria that you would use to evaluate if the grading was done well?

Thank you!

Review surface in 3D view, and/or review the surface with 0.1'/0.5' minor/major contours.

you can also use slope arrows with ranges. IE green for less than 2% (for ada checks in parking), yellow for 2-5%,etc. that will help you see if there are issues with fine grading quickly
