Creating Finished Grade Labels
3
2 Under Finish Ground Labels, you can select Rounding factor, and enter a factor
by which to round the elevation values.
When the Rounding factor check box is selected, the rounding values of
elevations and finish ground labels have default settings of 0.05 feet in imperial
and 0.005 millimeters in metric. The Finished Grade Points commands apply
this value to all point elevations and finished ground labels.
NOTE
This step is optional. You do not have to enter a rounding factor.
3 In the Layer for labels box, enter the name of the layer on which to place
the labels.
The current layer is displayed in this field by default.
4 Under Daylight Settings, select the Continuous daylight polyline check box if
you want to draw daylight lines as continuous polylines when you are using the
Daylight Polyline command.
The Daylight Polyline command creates a continuous polyline connecting
daylight points. If a daylight point cannot be found, then the polyline remains
continuous. Instead of breaking, the polyline follows the edge of the finished
ground object until it can locate the next daylight point.
If the Continuous daylight polyline check box is cleared, the daylight polyline
ends when a daylight point is not found for a particular vertex of your finished
ground object. The daylight polyline then starts again at the next daylight point
it can locate.
5 Under Slope check, locate daylight points:
n
Select Check cut if you want the Daylight commands to look for a surface in
a cut direction only.
n
Select Check fill if you want the Daylight commands to look for a surface in
a fill direction only.
n
Select Check cut and fill if you want the Daylight commands to look for a
surface in both a cut and fill direction.
6 Under Prompt for daylight points, control the prompt sequence of the Daylight
Points command:
n
Select Prompt for daylight points if you want the command to prompt you
for a number of points to be placed between the polyline vertex of the
finished ground object and the daylight point.
n
Select Use default value if you want the command to interpolate a set
amount of points between the polyline vertex of the finished ground object
and the daylight point. Type the value in the Default value box.
7 Click OK to exit the Finish Grade Label and Daylighting Settings dialog box.
