Configure Simple Subgrade Adjustments
Once you have assigned simple subgrade adjustments to regions on your site (using the Identify Site Regions command), use the Configure Subgrade Adjustments command to specify or edit their thicknesses. Then, when you rebuild your takeoff surfaces, the FD with subgrades adjusted surface is formed by lowering the Finished design surface by that thickness within the region occupied by the subgrade adjustment. When using this command, the color of each shaded region with a subgrade adjustment changes as the thickness of the subgrade adjustment is specified, thereby indicating those to which a thickness remains to be assigned.
Prerequisites:
