Sideslope to elevation

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

  • Click Design 3D.

  • Click To elevation.

    • Surface result: the surface subproject where sideslopes are created. Can be an existing or a new surface.

    • Layer: the layer for the new surface.

    • Color: the color of the new surface.

    • Reference elevation: the elevation used to create the sideslope from the polyline. Click image-20250114-100246.png to pick the elevation value from CAD.

    • Cut slope: sets the slope of the sideslope in case the polyline is below the reference elevation. Click image-20250114-100246.png 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 reference elevation. Click image-20250114-100246.png 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.
