Retaining Wall Tool Properties Dialog

A Retaining Wall grading object specifies constraints for wall lines that work to break, step, and retain terrain within minimum and maximum wall height constraints. The backfill surface side of the wall is at the top of the wall while the ground level side of the wall is at the base of the wall.

Right-click the Retaining Wall tool in the Grading Object Tool palette and select Properties to access the Retaining Wall Tool Properties dialog. Use this dialog to define the default constraints for the Retaining Wall tool.
