Howto get Civil3D to plot color bands for Surface Slope Analysis?

[camptech]

My Googling and searching the C3D forum have proven fruitless.  I figured out how to create a Surface Slope Analysis displaying all areas of my drawing in five bands:  0-10% (cyan), 10-20% (light green), 20-30% (dark green), 30-33% (yellow), and > 33% (specifically 33-100%; red).

The colors display in model model space and paperspace.  I was able to stumble my way through inserting a Slope Table.  But when I try to create a PDF with the colors to send to the builder client to highlight the high slope problem areas (> 33%)... all I get is a black and white plot, although the Slope Table colors plot fine.

This is very frustrating.

Here is the Surface Properties popup window:

Here is a screen capture of a paperspace window:

But when I plot and create a PDF, the PDF has no color on the surface, although the color swatches are correctly shown in the Slope Table.  Similarly, if I click on [ Preview ] in the Plot menu window, the preview shows no colors where the surface is, although the Slope Table shows the color swatches correctly.

I'm thinking there's got to be a quick and easy way to do this (that is just non-obvious)... or maybe not.  Who knows with C3D.

Here is what a Plot Preview looks like (screen grab):

TIA for any help.

Edit the surface style and on the Display tab make sure the Slopes component is assigned a layer that plots.

Thank you!

Will have to chock this one up as PEBKAC.

I had poked around inside the Edit Surface Style Dialogue... but I had failed to notice the scrollbar on the far right and totally missed the *Slopes* entry. Sure enough, that layer was one I had created, and it was set to NOT plot. Changing that layer to plot and creating a PDF with surface colored to slope values worked without any further issues.

Thanks again.
