The SlopeDitch subassembly creates a ditch with backslope and foreslopes. In cut, it daylights to the existing ground. In fill, a berm is created and then daylights.
Case Cut:
Case Fill:
Attachment
The attachment point is the innermost point on the grading links preceding the ditch.
Input Parameters

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. | Optional |
| Foreslope Elevation | May be used to override the foreslope slopes and widths. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. | Optional |
| Foreslope Width | May be used to override the foreslope width. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this: alignments, polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. | Optional |
Runtime Logical Assignments
None.
Output Parameters
None.
Behavior
The ditch foreslope, bottom, and backslope of the ditch are created. The subassembly is then determined to be in cut or fill at the top of the backslope. If in fill, a berm is created and then daylights. If in cut, the daylight link is created using the daylight slope.
Layout Mode Operation
In layout mode the subassembly displays the links comprising the ditch and berm in fill.
