Summary

The essence of site grading consists of

  • Mastering a couple of Profile Tools
  • Creating proposed Terrains
  • Finishing the Detailing with Surface Templates and Linear Templates

Additional tools provide solutions for different engineering needs, but they are variations on a consistent theme.

It's recommended to take Bentley's Geometry classes first. They are geared towards Roadway Design, but Site Grading follows all the same principles as Roadway Profiling.
