Add grading to surface

I know how to create a surface from gradings, but how can I add gradings to
an existing surface? If I start out with a surface built from points,
feature lines and other entities, how would I add gradings to it?

A related subtopic: If I have to create a surface from a grading and I add
feature lines and points to flesh it out, how would I change the tesselation
of the grading surface? It looks like I would have to delete the surface
which would wipe out all my supplemental work. Is this the case?

Never mind on the tesselation question. At first I thought you could not
change the setting without deleting the surface but it turns out the surface
model will update if you manually rebuild after changing tesselation
settings. For some reason the surface will not update automatically when
tesselation is changed for gradings.

Hey Neil,
Create a new surface. Paste Eg in and then paste the grading surface in.

I'm not understanding how that relates to the topic John. I want to add
gradings to my design surface. So far I don't see a way to do it.

Sorry Neil, the point is you have to add the grading surface. Gradings
stand alone like corridors no?

What a hassle, eh? Sometimes all we need is a daylight from a feature line
or two. They may not even be related.

Neil:
You can grab the feature lines that result from the grading and add those to
any surface.

That is a relief. Not one tutorial suggested that approach.
Thanks Drew
