3D Grade Simulation

This command selects a project file (.PRJ) and loads the associated design surface into the 3D simulation. This simulation is a way to verify the surface. You can choose a Vehicle Icon, set the Speed and pick Run to drive over the surface. See the Surface 3D Flyover topic in the manual for descriptions on the controls in this viewer.

The program looks for the design surface in the DESIGN sub-folder from the PRJ file location. The Copy Project function in the Carlson Grade Project command is a way to prepare the PRJ file with the surface in the DESIGN folder.
