Trace the field sketch cross-section into a precise vector on an 11x17 artboard using the pen tool, label ground, cut, fill, and key elevations, simplify anchor points for smooth curves, and save as PDF for the engineer to review tomorrow.

Before sending to the engineer, make the cross-section calculation-ready — snap key elevation points to a consistent baseline, annotate dimensions and slope ratios, simplify heavy anchor paths while preserving curvature at grade breaks, and include a separate layer with the original sketch so the engineer can verify assumptions quickly.

Questions people ask

honest answers

Because you rarely think 'I want the redaction tool'. You think 'I have to share this without leaking the client's details'. Start from the need, and the feature finds you.
