Civil drafting school project help

[Autocadstudent]

Its me again with more questions. can you guys take a look at this image and tell me if am going in the right direction? am asking this assuming you guys have seen this before.

here it is:

I have no idea what you are trying to do. Perhaps post the assignment details or more info.

So far it looks like you have drawn a (nearly complete, missing line top left corner) grid.

Am sorry i forgot to put that. this part of what plate 1 tells me to do.


• Before you can draw the contours of the land, you’ll need
to locate all the surveyed spot elevations on your drawing.
The surveyors gathered 216 spot elevations. The spot
elevations, taken at equal distances apart, run across the

length of the surveyed area in 12 evenly spaced rows.

Create a text style named SPOT-TEXT. Select
ROMANS as the font, and use a height of 6

″ and a
width factor of 0.8. While still in Layer Spot, use
the DTEXT command and type XXX alongside the
spot elevation mark in the lower-left corner of the
screen. Now, use the ARRAY command again to copy
the XXX to alongside all the rest of the spot
elevations.

Connect the lower-left elevation mark (elevation 29.9)
to the mark that’s 50 feet toward the top of the
screen (elevation 32.0).

ARRAY this line up. Note that in
this instance, you’ll use only the Row option, and not
the Column option, of the ARRAY command. (You’re
connecting only the marks that range from elevation
29.9 up to BM 312.)
Draw a line from the center of the benchmark to the
middle of the mark that’s 50 feet toward the right
(elevation 93.. ARRAY this line across the top of the
drawing. Here, you’ll use only the Column option, not

the Row option.

i dont remember inserting that "cool face"

Looks ok except for the missing line near the bench mark.

From what I can see in your image it looks like you are doing it correctly so far.

[Autocadstudent]

Thank you.

Now I need to figure out where the contour intervals

cross the grid lines between each spot elevation. am going to read the countour elevation part again and see if i get it this time, if not i will ask you guys again.
Thank you again.

You're going to have to interpolate the contours manually? That will be a fun task.

Makes the student appreciate Civil 3D a whole lot.
