Problems with Conditional Cut and Fill

[Anonymous]

I am using the Conditional Cut and Fill to create the sideslopes for a roadway project. I would like it to first try to meet existing at 4:1, then try 2:1. To achieve this, I have two conditional fill subassemblies, both set to a layout slope of 4:1. The first is set to Min Dist = 0 & Max Dist = 4 and has a 4:1 LinkSlopeToSurface end condition. The second has a min dist = 4 and a max dist = 99999. This has a LinkSlopeToSurface end condition of 2:1. When I look at my sections, it appears that it is using 4:1 if it can target the surface and then switches to 2:1. However, the distance constraints do not seem to be applied. The 4:1 fills are very large. I have read AUTOCAD help and looked at some resources online and I think I am doing this the proper way. Am I missing anything??

Remember that the conditional subassembly checks those distances vertically
from the insertion point. If your FG slope is chasing your EG slope down a
hill you could certainly have a long fill slope, but the vertical distance
can still be less than what you've specified.

I'd have to see the DWG to see exactly what's happeninig if this is not the
case.

I now understand why I am not getting the desired result. Is there a way to set the end condition to chase the EG for a max of 10 horizontal feet at a 4:1 slope then go to a 2:1 slope??

Not out-of-the-box. This can be created however. You can contact me
offline if you wish to discuss.

DaylightGeneral allows for a width to be specified for different slopes.

Actually, have you taken a look at the Daylight Standard subassembly? You
can specify up to 3 different heights for this, specifying different slopes
for each situation. It should work I think.
