Grading Groups

Civil 3D grading tools vs InRoads grading tools

It's probably going to end up being Civil 3D but they are much more difficult to utilize as they are a separate type of drawing object class rather than a technique for creating regular surfaces. Longer to learn but when implemented clearly they'll be more flexible and can be more easily modified rather than InRoads "start the surface again" modus operandi.

And of course it doesn't help that Civil doesn't run that smoothly on my system and crashes fairly often and fairly spectacularly.
