SideSlopeCutDitch

Attachment

The attachment point is at the inside edge of the initial cut or fill slope. This component can be attached to either the left or right side.

Input Parameters

Note: All dimensions are in meters or feet unless otherwise noted. All slopes are in run-over-rise form (for example, 4 : 1) unless indicated as a percent slope with a “%” sign.

Target Parameters

This section lists the parameters in this subassembly that can be mapped to one or more target objects. For more information, see To Specify Corridor Targets.

Parameter	Description	Status
Daylight Surface	Name of the daylighting surface. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the surface: surfaces.	Required
Omit Ditch	May be used to turn off the construction of the ditch. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this offset: alignments, polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.	Optional

Runtime Logical Assignments

None.

Output Parameters

None.

Behavior

The initial hinge point is set at the attachment point. The hinge point elevation is checked against the target surface to determine if the section is in the cut or fill condition.

If the parameters require a ditch, the ditch is built using the input parameters. If the Omit Ditch target is found, then the ditch will not be built. The ditch lining, if the ditch thickness is greater than 0, is built. If the ditch is in fill, the top ditch width in fill is applied.

The ditch hinge point is checked against the target surface to determine if the section is in the cut or fill condition. Then the daylight link is created using the appropriate Fill Slope and Cut Slope.

If no ditch is required, the daylight link is created using the appropriate Fill Slope and Cut Slope.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly draws the initial fill slope to 5 units.
