Sideslope to surface

The function Sideslope to surface calculates the sideslope from a 3D polyline to a ground surface. It is possible to specify the slope and other parameters

• Click Design 3D.

• Click To surface.

  

• The function opens a new panel on the right.

  

  • Surface result: the surface subproject where sideslopes are created.

  • Layer: the layer for the new surface.

  • Color: the color of the new surface.

  • Ground surface: the existing surface on which sideslopes from a reference polyline are created.

  • Cut slope: sets the slope of the sideslope in case the polyline is below the ground surface. Click to pick the slope value from CAD, indicating the starting and ending point.

  • Fill slope: sets the slope of the sideslope in case the polyline is over the ground surface. Click to pick the slope value from CAD, indicating the starting and ending point.

  • Round corners: enables/disables the rounding of corners.

• Select the polyline in CAD.

  

• Specify in CAD the slope direction to create the sideslope from the polyline to the ground surface.
