Banding Together in Civil 3D 2012

As most of you know, the elevation analysis is very useful tool for showing high or low water ranges on a surface or even cut or fill areas for contractors as seen in the capture below. 


In the past, we were only allowed to divide elevation ranges by a specified number of intervals.  New to the 2012, you are now given two additional options.  The first option we will take a look at is range interval.  Range intervals allows us to divide the elevations values by a specified interval such as 5 in the capture below.  The option also allows for setting an elevation at the low end of the first range.

The second option that has been added range interval with datum.  This option allows for setting a datum elevation, with ranges going both up and down by a give interval.  In the capture below, I set the datum elevation to 3, with elevation increment range set to 5.


These new options in the elevation analysis will eliminate the need for manual adjustments between ranges.
