How to show slope/grade on my surface ? or either on corridor ?

[Aistis88]

Hello , i was wondering is it possible  to show slopes  or grades on my surfaces  , or corridors  IN PLAN VIEW ? Thank you for the help you provide :))

Sure, use surface labels underthe Annotate tab/Add Labels/Surface/Surface labels.

You can also use the tools in the Analysis tab of your surface properties dialog to display slopes using a range of colors, or you can display slope arrows showing the range of grades and direction of flow for the TIN.

You could get a 100 different answers to that question. Are you looking for surface slope value? >>ericcollins6932. surface direction?>>sboon Profile grade line>> add a component to your alignment label style that refs the profile.

OK now there's a challenge!  How many possible ways can we find to display a representation of slope/grade in plan view?

Well 3 down 97 more to go. You're our cooridor guru Steve can it be done with code set style? <G>

First one using a code set.

The Daylight_Cut and Daylight_Fill links have a Material Area Fill style applied to them.  Those styles show a green dot hatch for fill slopes and a red one for cuts.

Second one using a code set:

In this one the daylight links are colored instead of using a hatch.  I use this code set all the time when I'm designing because it provides an instant reference for where the corridor is in relation to the surface, without looking at sections.  Makes it easy to see where I need to adjust the profile.

Very nice. I'm imspired to work with my codes more

sboon - how do you change the color of the site for different slopes?  I can't get to the analysis tool you mentioned to do this and it's exactly what I am looking for today...

Thank you!

I like this method of seeing the cut and fill areas
