Slope shading

[David O'Donnell]

I am using land Desktop3, survey3, Civil Design3. I'm at a loss to find the tutorial showing how to determine & shade the 20% slopes on a surface. Could someone explain the proccess? Also I imported contour lines, but I can't seem to get them to be a "surface"..any ideas?

1 The shading options are buried away in the styles you can do things like shade the contours not sure about slope though.

 

2 just bringing in Contour lines could mean just that you have a bunch of lines, you have to create a suface model from your lines, its an option under surface definition autocad objects. Are the lines all at 0.0 elevation ? then your stuffed. Not really its another posted soloution on this forum.

It was the range settings I was messing up....My only issue now is is there a way to changethe generated shades styles' (ei: change the solid to a cross) ?

...my bad, our office never went ahead with the Civil3D, I'm trying to do this in Land developement 3.

I switched over to Civil 3D, made those changes in that box........and nothing changed.
