Hi, I need to know how to do a grading in a terrain digital model with a 0.50m increment. I want to know if it is possible to put a first level and increase the next parcel 0.50m up from the first one.

Please be more specific...

What are your intentions (e.g., Are you going to calculated the volume of that one parcel ? Are you trying to get design contours? Are you trying to compare two different volumes? I can probably answer your question if you will be more specific. What's your intensions and do you have any
existing terrain data?
 
I'm trying to compare two different volumens, so I have to do a new surface with the final site grading that I want, I have an urban project and I have designed the roadways, drainage, stormwater and water distribution systems. Everything made digitally, using Land Development, Civil Survey and Civil Design. I have to make the site grading for the project and there are a lot of lots, with different levels. At present I put the level with 4 points by lot, but in this case there are too many and I want to know if is posible to mark an area and put a level, then mark next area with the level reference from last one marked without create four new points with a new level each time for each lot.
 
There are many methods for this process of dealing with this problem.
