EvenSlopeDitch

The EvenSlopeDitch subassembly creates a ditch to add to either the left or the right sides of the assembly.

Attachment

The attachment point is at the inside edge of the first link.

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.

Parameter	Description	Type	Default
Side	Specifies which side to place the subassembly.	Left/Right	Right
Ditch Depth	The depth of the bottom of the ditch from the attachment point to the bottom of the foreslope link.	Numeric, positive	3 ft 1 m
Slopes	The slope of the sides of the ditch.	Numeric, positive	2 (: 1)
Ditch Width	Width of the ditch.	Numeric, positive	2 ft 0.6 m

Target Parameters

None.
