To Display Escarpment in 2D Drawings

Creates an escarpment block to display difference in elevations in a 2D drawing.

Use this procedure to create escarpment representations in 2D drawings. Escarpment representation is used to display two relatively level areas of differing elevations. For example, embankments, levees, cliffs, construction pits, and so on.

In the drawing, the escarpment is displayed as a pattern of long and short lines maintaining a certain distance between each other. It is drawn as an AutoCAD block on the current layer of the drawing.

1. Draw the upper and lower boundary of the escarpment. Boundary lines can be created by using lines, polylines, circles, arcs, splines, or ellipses.
2. Click Vision Tools tab Graphics panelEscarpment.
3. Select the upper and lower boundary line.
4. In the command line enter a value for the distance between the escarpment pattern lines.
   The smaller the number the closer together the pattern lines are drawn. A larger number draws the pattern lines of the escarpment block further apart from each other.

   Note: The escarpment pattern is created as an AutoCAD block. Double click the pattern to edit the block using the block editor.
