Dink87522, i attached the project booklet. am on page 13. i was able to do the 2 on the example, but then i don't know if i should use the same 90-foot and 80-foot contour for all the elevations.
thank you all for replaying.

Hey gusy i went ahead and finish the roadways and trees. i just need to do the contour lines. page 8 says 10-foot contour intervals. does it mean from the 90-foot (top left corner)to the right will be 100 and from the 90-foot to the bottom 80-foot. and from the 100 to the bottom 90-foot and so on. do i make any sence?

That PDF help remind me what I did. I used example 2 bottom of page 12. Some of the info from the first example is also used.

As you read through the instructions write out a math equation.

For instance:
93.8 – 88.9 = 4.9 x 10 = 49

50 / 49 = 1.0204082

1.0204082 x 11 = 11.22

11.22 is the distance to the right of the benchmark.

You will have to perform this calculation for each spot elevation. Just use the same formula. Do one row at a time from table 3 page 10. Remember that even though the row in the table is vertical, on the drawing row one is horizontal.

This is what the couture’s should look like.

is what I remember most while doing this.

car5858 i gess am not asking the right question. i got the calculation you posted. the 11 is from 90-footcontour-88.9=1.1 (11).
now that i see the picture, the real question i have is; the 100', 110', 120' east of the 90' on your image, is that because page 8 says 10-foot contour intervals?
i feel am asking dumb questions. sorry.

Almost done with plate 1.
Thank you.

It means each inch on the drawing will be 60' Horiz. Every inch in elevation will be 10'

Car5858, Am looking at the image and still don't get it. i have a hard time starting somenthing but when i get i get it.
if the driveway profile starts at the centerline. can i copy it from my plate 2 and scale to 10' vertical and 60' horizontal? are those red lines the grid lines? i see the 130 going up by ten' and the zero to 60'. are those the grid lines from the first drawing? am sorry for asking this kind of question.
