CHAPTER 1 The Basics of auTocaD civil 3D
The settings that are applied here can also be applied at the object levels. For example, you
may typically want elevation to be shown to two decimal places, but when looking at surface
elevations, you might want just one. The Override and Child Override columns give you feed-
back about these types of changes. See Figure 1.8.
The Override column shows whether the current setting is overriding something higher
up. Because you’re at the Drawing Settings level, these are clear. However, the Child Override
column displays a down arrow, indicating that one of the objects in the drawing has overridden
this setting. After a little investigation through the objects, you’ll find the override is in the Edit
Feature Settings of the Profile view, as shown in Figure 1.9.
