Slope markings are slope indicator lines. They have one or more repeating lines that are aligned with the flow direction. The lines can be the length of the slope or less. They can have a predefined symbol or an AutoCAD block inserted at one end.
Slope markings are applied between any two feature lines (typically, between a grading footprint and daylight line).
