Slope to Surface

Point: Slope to Surface

Add a point that is located on a target surface at a specified slope from another point.

Properties

Specify the following parameters in the Properties panel.

Point
Point Number	Specifies the point number. You can change the automatically generated Point Number value.
Point Codes	Specifies the codes assigned to the point.
Point Geometry Type
Type	Specifies the point type: Angle and Delta X Angle and Delta Y Angle and Distance Delta X and Delta Y Delta X on Surface Interpolate Point Slope and Delta X Slope and Delta Y Slope to Surface
Point Geometry Properties
From Point	Specifies the point to which the other geometry property values are relative.
Slope	Specifies the slope value from the point specified in the From Point row. Click [...] to open the Expression Editor, where you can enter or calculate a value.
Reverse Slope Direction	Reverses the Slope, drawing the slope in the opposite direction.
Surface Target	Specifies the surface target parameter.
Auto Add Link
Auto Link To From Point	Draws a link from the point specified in the From Point row to the current point.
Name	Specifies the name of the link.
Codes	Specifies the codes assigned to the link.
Miscellaneous
Comment	Indicates notes about the point. Comments can be displayed in the Preview panel.
